USC in the conf championship game, but then lost, leaving the Pac12 out of it. As-is, the Pac will be left out anyway. But it would have been great if they were left out clearly due to a loss in the conf championship game, while Oklahoma got in.

serious question: how do the other conferences force the big12 to a CCG?

Public pressure would be my guess

They can deny the exemption permitting a championship game w/ only 10 teams.

As an OU fan I can't believe how lucky we are

I don't think it's fair. If the ACC and SEC didn't have Conf champ games

The Playoff Committee ranked those 3 teams in the top 15

My point is that the Playoff Committee is giving them the benefit of the doubt,

Yep. OU is legit and is my pick to win it all.

They don't HAVE to have conference championship games. They choose to do so to get the extra money for the

I think Ohio States loss is the best loss of anyone in the discussion.

Yeah but if BYU loses they are done....no forgiveness

Not with our schedules moving forward. Heck, if we won out after UCLA we would

but only for the NY 6...If we had beaten UCLA, and Mizzou, the Michigan game

Well the schedule doesn't justfy their W-L being treated equal to a P5 schedule

Right. It's the opposite of last season. It incentivizes B12 to avoid a CCG.

And by extension, avoid expansion.

AZcougLawyer

12/1/15 10:47am

You are correct, this is a big blow to the possibility of the Big12 expanding in

Everything I was reading last year at this time had either Baylor or TCU in..

Name brand. This is always going to be the case for OU and Texas.

IMO Notre Dame's loss sealed the deal - I agree they about name brand...

Yep. Doubt the other teams are self-aware enough to realize this.
