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?
ACC - 10 (71%) PAC 10 - 8 (66%) (1 former B12) SEC - 7 (50%) (1 former B12) B1G - 7 (50%) (1 former B12) Big 12 - 2 (20%)
Notre Dame (100% of all Notre Dames)
Conclusions
- Great to see the Big 12 dump the garbage weight of the conference!
- Maybe Georgia, Alabama, Auburn, and LSU would like stiffer competition in football... they could move to the Big 12, Kentucky could move to the ACC in what's clearly a basketball conference, then the others could create like uh... baseball or gymnastics conference? :-) [Reply]
Well just as long as they are doing it for the sake of amateur athletics (and of course getting an education) I'm sure their new conference will be a smashing success. [Reply]

Ya, but I would like to see the same sort of chart but with "Pinkel Eras" instead of BCS/NY6 bowls. [Reply]
