Round Robin vs CCG: There is no substitute for an extra win. The big 12 winner will have played 9 conference games. Every other conference winner will have played at least 9 conference games...usually with 2 against the second best team in the conference.
Louisville/Cincy: Why keep using the same reasoning that left Louisville out? That was a terrible decision. Louisville single-handedly outperformed the entire Big 12 in both basketball and football and is poised to be the next big thing. Cincy isn't there, but they would be easily in the top half of the conference in both sports.

You honestly don't see any issue with 14-16 teams trying to schedule games in all sports?
I guess we just have a philosophical differences on what college sports are. That's okay I suppose. College football has existed for 100 years without a true national champion pretty much 80% of the time. It's just not inherent to the sport. Too many variables. It's not the NFL and never will be.
I'm happy you are happy in your new home and seem to think it's so much better. I don't see it that way but that's okay.
