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?

So yeah, why does anyone join the PAC at the moment? If those 3 schools also leave they are in a lot worse shape than the current new Big12. [Reply]

I'm not sure why sentiment is Big12 is a greater scene than the PAC rn.
Oklahoma and Texas leaving is a bigger loss. [Reply]

But I agree with your general sentiment the PAC is better due to markets. Even if the quality of competition is lower
While some of the markets are better, those markets barely care about college sports. They care a little more than east coast big cities but not by much. [Reply]
Mizzou’s move to the SEC can’t really even be questioned at this point. I can’t imagine how unsettling it must be to have to deal with this conference realignment game of Survivor. Mizzou and Nebraska were obviously very smart to make the moves when they did. The ice is melting and everyone outside of the B1G and SEC are just trying to find some solid land every year now.

I haven't slept in 12 fucking years, the imminent danger has been so unsettling! God I wish Kansas was a doormat in basketball as well as football, it would be so much better! :-):-)
