And it would have been great if Stanford was set to make the CFP if they beat

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 also beat Tennessee, who is #2 in the SEC East

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.

Shhhh! BYU has the same road to the CFP ( No championship game)

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

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..

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.
