:rolleyes:

Exactly! Some things never change in the dysfunction 12.

****The Official NEW (new)^3 conference realignment & shit talk thread****
 

That's why Mizzou, Texas A&M, Nebraska & Colorado left. That conference will eventually implode when Texas has had enough.

If it's stupid, it's been posted. That much is certain.

It's weird that they all got better after leaving. Does that mean it's harder to win in the Big12? Better competition?

The ever-lasting dream of Mizzouches. Like praying for the downfall of KU basketball. Perhaps you'll live long enough to see either.

The Big12's model really isn't that bad either. Sure it didn't work this year, but other years it will. Win out and you're in regardless. Hell if the cards fell slightly different the Big12 coulda got two teams in. A conference or two will be left out every year, and this year it was the Big12.

BOWE!!!!!

LMAO


Nothing left in the tank?


It's nap time. I will wake you up for cheerios and orange juice.

He watches Mizzou games to root against them.

People talk about Ohio St benefitting and they did, but what about FSU and Bama? Neither had anything to play for yesterday, both were in had they not even played. It was all downside for them

The only way it will ever work for the Big 12 is for them to have an undefeated champion. The committee has made it clear now that a one loss time not playing a championship game is not going to make the final four.

Two questions.

Is it normal to have this many 1 loss teams?

And when is the vote to find out if they will allow conferences without 12 teams to have a conference championship game? Pretty sure that was scheduled for this year.

The Big 12 commissioner says the conference will reconsider how to declare its champion after being left out of the four-team college football playoff.

In a phone interview on the College Football Playoff Selection Show, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby told ESPN's Rece Davis: "It's clear that we were penalized for not having a postseason championship game. It would have been nice to have been told that ahead of time."

"We have to weigh whether this is substantial enough to add institutions. ... It's certainly a major consideration."

The Big 12 would need to add two teams or have the NCAA approve a waiver to have a conference championship game. The Big 12 has 10 teams, and a conference must have 12 teams to have a conference championship game.

The words of Football Playoff Committee chairman Jeff Long "will cause us to go back to the drawing board a little bit and think about if we need a different model," Bowlsby said, referring to tie-breakers and title-game discussions.

"If you're going to slogan around and say One True Champion, and all of a sudden you're going to go out the back door instead of the front?" Briles said. "Don't say one thing and do another. That's my whole deal. If they had said from the get-go we've got co-champs, head to head doesn't matter, I'm OK with it. I'm not obligated to him. I'm obligated to Baylor University and our football team. We just happen to be part of the Big 12 and we happen to be the champion two years in a row, so they need to be obligated to us because we're helping the Big 12's image in the nation."

Responded Bowlsby via text message about his interaction with Briles on the podium: "Our rule says they are co-champions. He doesn't want to accept that I cannot change the rule to suit his wishes."

On Big 12 media day in July, Bowlsby said if there was a tie for conference champion, they would go to tiebreakers, meaning head to head. On Sunday, Bowlsby told ESPN: "I went back and looked ... and just plain misspoke."

Dumb. Had FSU lost yesterday that precise scenario you claim can't happen would have happened.
