Big 12 won't split into divisions, will just pair the two top teams.

There is no advantage to this whatsoever. What idiots!

Not true, If they had this in 2014, they probably would've had a team in the CFP

Over who? I think Ohio State still gets in over either TCU or Baylor.

Bluedarts

10/28/16 2:57pm

not if TCU beats Baylor 42-10 in the CCG

Dissenter

10/28/16 2:58pm

Perhaps, but I think Ohio States name is a lot more attractive to the CFB

these issues can all apply to SEC, ACC, PAC-12, and BIG-10

SEC, ACC, and B1G will have more CFP and NY6 bowls

boscatar

10/28/16 1:31pm

those bigger conferences also have to split money 14 ways instead of 12 ways

cwilke1

I'll bet there is a bigger pie to split, bigger than the

financially I have not studied what the perfect # of teams is

cwilke1

10/28/16 3:37pm

18 or 24 is where the most money is, especially for the SEC and BIG

It won't hurt the victor's resume, how dumb is that!?
