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?
I could see a scenario in the future where you have something like 60 teams and there's a AFC/NFC with a playoff bracket similar. You will need a domino like Notre Dame to fall first before that's ever a consideration. You will definitely see a playoff expansion sometime in the next 5 years though [Reply]

Honestly most B12 fans are pretty comfortable where we’re at.
It’s generally a good football conference without the top end 1-2 teams that the SEC and occasionally B1G have.
It’s a very good basketball conference (last two NCAA champions).
Frankly I’d rather be where we’re at now than the B1G or SEC where you have a lot of cash, but know you can never compete with the top half of the league. [Reply]
I was curious on the OU choice... and they do have the 3rd most tournament bids without a NC, behind Notre Dame and Texas, so I guess it works. [Reply]

I'd rather be in the B1G but I don't think that's happening so the Big 12 adding some good schools would be an okay consolation prize. [Reply]
