The BigXII shot itself in the foot yesterday with the round-robin setup. 4 of the 5 P5 conferences have a championship game. The higher seed in each of those games got into the playoffs...whether those are the 4 top teams or not. I don't think FSU or OSU are a top 4 team...but that's for another thread.
The Big12 is going to be relying on the lower seed to win one of these championship games from her on out if they choose not to have a B12 CCG. IMO, that isn't a good way to get your conference represented in the playoffs...
The round-robin is cute...but until they expand to 8 teams. The B12 could find themselves in this situation more often than Not.
The Baylor vs KSU was the championship argument is flawed as is the B12 could have had 2 teams in the playoffs...
So....to get the B12 back to....12 teams, what two teams would you add?

Next time someone complains about the features & appearance of Chiefsplanet, ban them to that board for a month. [Reply]

That needs to be part of a crowd cheer. North side of stadium:
As more info comes out, it looks like more and more the Pac 12 remaining schools want nothing to do with the Big 12. Something like a merger BIG PAC would be more feasible and perhaps both conferences could shed some of the dead weight like UCF, Oregon State etc. That also could diminish those two conferences ao much they cease to exist as we know it limiting any penalties for leaving.

Spoiler for those who didn’t read it: there was a happy ending
The happy ending: that block that led to the win over Tenn pulled the mutts to 6-6 and bowl eligibility. They'd go on to lose 24-22 to Army in the Holiday Inn Express Provo Bowl. [Reply]
