In their defense they have had like 2 good seasons of football ever. Makes sense

I've been kinda assuming that cinci was in the top 2 (with BYU of course)

Wow, that is much closer than I like. I thought....

Keep in mind that the criteria coaches would use to pick teams are much

So if the coaches had their way, it would be BYU, Houston, Cincy, and Memphis

If going to 14, this wouldn't be a bad move.

Probably two votes per coach for two teams to add.

Wow. No votes for UConn at all.

I'm sure not many coaches would be excited about playing UConn in football,

Math is my strong suit

Jericho

if they expand by 4 this is good news, if they only expand by 2 then it means

CougarTwins

coaches dont make the decision and they probably havent seen the data either

Jericho

Coaches have seen the data:

Machiavelli

Data on why they should expand or data on individual teams?

Jericho
