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?

Pac 12 was much worse than Big 12 any way you want to slice it.
And with USC and UCLA heading to the Big1G, welp, that Pac12 conference is DOA. [Reply]
The Big 10 and SEC will be the two power conferences now and all of the remaining teams in the ACC/Big 12/Pac 12 will try to get into one of those two conferences. [Reply]

Seems like it'll be four conferences total to me. I dont know how the Pac survives tbh without USC and UCLA. [Reply]

5 level one violations? I was not aware that K-State was caught cheating. If so, I'm very disappointed that we didn't even win a national championship at that if we were actually cheating and got caught.
By the way, we'll see you in September in Manhattan. Be prepared. [Reply]

That was when they still had their two big draws. Oregon and UW can't carry that conference, and we already took the best remaining teams that were available. [Reply]

That’s why I said raid the Pac12. You don’t need Washington state or Oregon state. [Reply]
