P5 is irrelevant in the new playoff model. Could have years where PAC-12 doesn’t
make playoff and you have teams from MAC and AAC that get in.

If this happens with OU/TX then the Big 12 will stick together short term and

If they add BYU, BSU, Cinci and UCF they do.

That is a lot of travel. More than any other conference I can think of ever

Modern travel makes it easy. And for football, it is what BYU is already doing as is.

By far the best programs available. Those 4 are in a clear class of their own so it’s really the only move if the big12

Houston gets in ahead of Boise. Adds more to the conference and much closer.

Houston adds almost nothing. They don’t even have fans in their own city.

Boise's attendance was only about 3K higher in 2018 and 6K higher in 2019.

Misleading. Houston’s attendance is frequently dominated by the visiting team. And they still didn’t reach Boise which

True. Just look to last year BYU @ Houston

Nowhere near enough to overcome Houston's other benefits to the B12.

OK, but if Kansas bolts to the B10, they are next. Those are clear best 5 left.

Probably, but Memphis and FedEx would like a word. As would UNLV.

I agree, which then begs the question do you add SMU instead of BYU

Memphis over SMU.

If you are UCF or Cincy, do you want to join an OU/TX-less Big 12?

Of course. If you're, say, Cincy, UCF, Houston, and Memphis, would you rather

P5 won’t exist anymore with the new playoff model. That label doesn’t matter

7/22/21 12:19pm
I believe conference champions get auto bids. That would matter to me.

6 do. So P5 means nothing. In that context, this new big12 could easily (and rightfully) call themselves a power
YIsForBrigham
7/22/21 12:20pm
If this happens no way they stick with autobids for 6 conferences. Drops to 5.
Scratch
7/22/21 12:25pm
Ok
YIsForBrigham
7/22/21 12:25pm
Right, but which conferences get the 6 auto bids is not defined (as of yet)

Top 6 ranked conference champs get auto bids doesn't matter which 6 conferences

All the more important reason to keep the BIG 12 alive... for now.

Right. I think it’s a strong motivator to stick together and expand

who is the governing body for the playoff?

Most of those listed teams have had recent football success

You're assuming those teams don't get added to another conference...

is P5 even a thing in basketball in terms of benefits?

Assuming this forces ND to the ACC, they still need one more school too

WV? Cincinnati?

Football brings in 4x that of which basketball brings in at the avg D1 school.

Again, the B12 leftovers have had recent football success.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Nebraska finds their way back to the Big 12.
