Prayer Request Conference Realignment Spin-off: Who should the B12 add...? - Page 2

Mr_Tomahawk · 12-07-2014, 02:04 PM

The BigXII shot itself in the foot yesterday with the round-robin setup. 4 of the 5 P5 conferences have a championship game. The higher seed in each of those games got into the playoffs...whether those are the 4 top teams or not. I don't think FSU or OSU are a top 4 team...but that's for another thread.

The Big12 is going to be relying on the lower seed to win one of these championship games from her on out if they choose not to have a B12 CCG. IMO, that isn't a good way to get your conference represented in the playoffs...
The round-robin is cute...but until they expand to 8 teams. The B12 could find themselves in this situation more often than Not.

The Baylor vs KSU was the championship argument is flawed as is the B12 could have had 2 teams in the playoffs...

So....to get the B12 back to....12 teams, what two teams would you add?

Poll to come...

There are no teams worth adding.

GloucesterChief · 12-07-2014, 05:33 PM

BYU doesn't play any sports on Sunday. That is why they weren't offered a place when the PAC12 added Utah.

They've been trying to join the Big12.

Bewbies · 12-07-2014, 06:18 PM

Nobody you'd want is dumb enough to join that dumpster fire.

Mr_Tomahawk · 12-07-2014, 08:23 PM

So BYU and Houston?

Jerm · 12-07-2014, 08:29 PM

What about Colorado St.?

Them and BYU? Hell just throwing it out there...

Eleazar · 12-07-2014, 08:32 PM

Maybe they should add 6 teams.

Prison Bitch · 12-07-2014, 08:46 PM

The Big 12 is getting rich. $20m each off the TV deal. Kansas brought in 93m last fiscal year. The playoff share was $6m extra - total. So we lost out on $600k? Who gives a spit. That won't even cover our women's basketball coach.

It's really not that important, and not worth diluting the TV share adding emaciated mouths to feed.

I don't really care....not a penny of that is going into my pocket.

I want to see a CGG again...the way it should be.

WilliamTheIrish · 12-07-2014, 09:14 PM

Then petition for the waiver.

lol, damn PB. Nice way of putting things in perspective.

That being said I love playing everyone in the conference. Start adding teams and you get stupid scheduling like the SEC has.

Did the Big 12 get screwed this year? Yeah. But Ohio State would have been crying the same as Baylor and TCU had it happened to them.

The Big 12 simply had two teams that were better than two teams that made it in. (I'm not going to go crazy over FSU being that they simply haven't lost...you can't take them out)

Had it been Oklahoma or Texas instead of Baylor or TCU? They would have got in. There's no denying that. That's college football, it's been the same way for 100 years.

Cinci, Memphis, UCF and USF.

Chiefspants · 12-07-2014, 09:33 PM

I think the two best available teams are BYU and Cincinnati. The reasons against Cincinnati seem awfully similar to the reasons the Big 12 passed Louisville (It's a city school, they'd have questionable market reach, etc etc). Well, seeing how well passing Louisville worked out for us, I'd rather us now take a chance on a school which has had consistent success on the gridiron and the basketball court.

Next, BYU has an incredibly loyal and expansive fan base throughout the west coast. If they swallow their Texas like pride and demands they had of the Big 12 in 2010, this could be a massive get for the conference. I think the odds of this are rather questionable, and I think it's more likely that the Big 12 will expand east to relieve the travel burden of West Virginia.

Prediction: Cincinnati and Memphis.
