think if TCU continued their 40 years of ineptitude that they had at the end of the past century and didn't have so much success under Patterson in the 2000's that they would have been invited to the Big 12?? They clearly played their way in.

Too bad BYU couldn't be in Kirtland, Independence, or Nauvoo: we'd already be in

P12 is more about academics and research than BCS appearances. BSU? No way.
