and replaced them with West Virginia and TCU... ditched the conference championship that they basically created and was the most popular conference championship game of them all... went with a stupid slogan of 1 true championship and then crowned co-champions while completely ignoring their bylaws.

If you told me that Mr Ed, a Monkey, a piece of string and a Magic 8 ball were making these decisions... I'd completely believe you. The conference was one of the best competitive and strongest conferences in the P5 this year, and still couldn't get a team in the playoff. If anyone in that conference has a tenth of a brain cell left, they'd do the complete opposite of whatever decision they come up with.
