They could have just actually followed through on the "One True Champion" thing and gotten that right the season before last. Idiots.
I'm sure it's about money... but having your best team get upset in the championship game or drop in power rating because it beat a team twice, and then watching the league get shut out of the playoffs... well that costs money too.
Agree, it's ridiculous. Unless at least 2 teams are added, a CCG makes no sense. My general thought is to bolt and get out of this conference. The only way this will works is if the Playoffs expand to 8 teams. Otherwise I don't see the B12 being of any interest as a playoff team. The only reason we had OU in last season is because the PAC winner had 2 losses.
Bill, From the thoughts of the Las Colinas Cretin Corp, you are correct. I can't wait until the numbers come out. Let's say we get a TCU vs K-State matchup going up against USC/Stanford or Alabama/Florida, and the Big XII gets a viewership less than C-USA gets at 10 AM. That will certainly do wonders for the TV contract negotiations. Maybe Bowlsby can bargain us onto Raydumb instead of FS1.
