I think they do need to get back to 12 and a conference championship game. They will continue to find themselves at a disadvantage during the conference championship week when other power conferences get to showcase their teams to vie for the playoff.
Only Oklahoma and Texas have the national clout and respect to withstand being bumped out in favor of a championship week darling from another power conference. Texas sucks at the moment so that leaves only Oklahoma. A big 12 championship will change that for the TCUs, Baylors, OKST, etc. The thing that sucks is its slim pickings for expanding. |

Cincinnati definitely needs to be a priority for the Big 12. They're the most balanced between football and basketball, and they hold a geographical connection to West Virginia, making the conference not just about a bunch of southern midwest schools and a random place out east.
After that, I have no clue. Tulane, Temple, East Carolina, and Northern Illinois can go **** themselves. I guess... Colorado State? UConn? |

Ditto. It cracks me up that CSU thinks a new field will get them into a power conference, but I hope it works.
