The problem is that Eyes on TVs are what is driving this and determining which conference is "best".

He didn't technically say anything about a conference championship game...

Correct. If TCU/Baylor both win out, Big 12 "championship" was already played.

Nikomedes

11/25/14 8:25pm

They will both be Big12 champ though

TrueAndBlue

11/25/14 9:22pm

Would be interesting if Bama, Oregon, FSU, Miss St, tOSU, Baylor, and TCU each

rainorsnow

11/25/14 8:27pm

I'd prefer they all lose. Then we'd have like 17 2-loss teams to choose from

Nikomedes

11/25/14 8:29pm

And one undefeated non-cartel team (Marshall)

This seems worse for us.

At this point, not much of anything in the CFB world seems good for us.

That's a good thing!

I agree, once may be enough but if this happened twice... expantion for sure

Big 12 SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Choooooooo-chooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

AntiSNOT

11/25/14 9:33pm

So lame...

newey-west

11/25/14 9:36pm

This is why the "playoff" should be at least 8 teams

PolarisPrime

11/25/14 10:14pm

Why do we need manufactured drama? If teams are scheduling tough opponents,

newey-west

11/25/14 10:17pm

And because the conference blows. Yeah yeah 1-3. The conference still blows

TrueAndBlue

11/25/14 10:25pm

BYU would be about 12 million dollars poorer this year

PolarisPrime

11/25/14 10:27pm

Exactly

AntiSNOT

11/25/14 10:28pm

If it is for a birth in the playoffs then it is not manufactured.

PolarisPrime

11/25/14 10:26pm

I don't believe this at all.

newey-west

11/25/14 10:38pm

You just presented the problem with your argument.

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 12:42am

10 years worth of dominance by the SEC argues otherwise.

newey-west

11/26/14 7:21am

I dont have Marshal in the top 4

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 1:41pm

The SEC is all about perception? No way.

newey-west

11/26/14 1:49pm

So wrong. The SEC may be the best. Who cares

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 5:33pm

Disagree. You take the best 4 teams--regardless of conference affiliation.

newey-west

11/26/14 5:42pm

And how do you determine the best four teams?

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 6:43pm

You look at how they play against who they play.

newey-west

11/26/14 6:49pm

Which is what I am saying

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 7:13pm

Again, I don't see how your approach is any less arbitrary.

newey-west

11/26/14 7:34pm

Regional winner? You mean conference winner?

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 8:07pm

And what if two teams have no common opponents? Then we have to guess which

Nikomedes

11/26/14 7:15pm

In a perfect world, commonality would be awesome...but since we don't have that

newey-west

11/26/14 7:35pm

It is impossible to determine the strength of their resume.

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 8:21pm

You need to stop arguing with this guy. He doesn't get it...

TrueBlue67

This is exactly right and stated far better than I was doing.

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 1:44pm

If they expand to 8 before byu gets in a conference, our hope for P5 inclusion

PoopTown LLC

11/26/14 7:00am

Probably true, but in that scenarion I dont care that much.

PolarisPrime

11/26/14 1:45pm

Why can't the B12 have a cc game with only 10 teams? Is there a 12 min rule?

8man

11/26/14 9:06am

12 team rule

TrueAndBlue

11/26/14 10:07am

i hope the SEC gets two teams. I want 2 of the P-5's to be left out.

COACHdrn

11/26/14 12:10pm

I will say it again, the Big 12 is concerned about being shut out due to no CC

Cougarpride

11/26/14 1:24pm

I agree your final four would be best for BYU
