Florida State to the Big XII?

[Blake]

Georgia would definitely agree. The SECCG gave them an opportunity to play their way into the national championship game that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

They had the opportunity to beat South Carolina, le game or not.

Your point?

[Blake]

Your point?

That it's not any better to be in a conference with a le game.

Are you really having trouble keeping up with two posts?

[the chronic]

Mack replaced Deloss? I just don't see that happening. Or do you mean somewhere else within the Athletic Dept?

Dan Mullen would not be a good hire IMO, Petersen isn't leaving, Carroll makes too much, Saban isn't leaving, Meyer wont leave OSU. Miles just got a big extension.

Best shots of thsoe names are Patterson and Muschamp. Patterson being a much more likely candidate imo.

Guys at top programs including Muschamp aren't going anywhere, they may listen as strategy to get extension/raise though (see Les Miles and Arky interview).

Peterson will be a leading candidate; yes he has a good situation and is very tied to the area, but he is at Boise State. He will leave at some point when presented with the right offer - but he has ability to be very picky.

If that were true then conference championship games wouldn't exist.

[Blake]

If that were true then conference championship games wouldn't exist.

If it weren't true, the Big12 would not be taking their sweet time getting back to 12 teams.

And the Pac 10 and Big 10 wouldn't have waited so long.

Kansas State finished #5 this year meaning they would have been left out of the Championship playoff. You don't think them having another game against a high ranked opponent would help them crack the top 4? Especially, when the team they would be trying to jump (Oregon) didn't even play in their conference championship game? Wrong

If K-state had a conference championship game and won then they would finish top 4 and play for a chance at a MNC. I could only imagine the BIG12 outrage if the playoff system had been implemented this season.

Regardless, the SEC will almost always have two teams out of the 4 under the playoff system.

So the "SEC is so hard, you will never get through to play for an MNC" argument that the big12 fanatics love to throw around is pretty re ed seeing that all you have to do is finish top 2 in the SEC to get into the top 4 of the BCS, (even if you lose a game). Whereas a member of the big12 will have to go undefeated to make it there and only have 1 representative year in and year out.

Gotta side with Aggie fan on this one... I don't really see the benefit to not having a conference championship game.

The big12 is taking their sweet time getting back to 12 teams because none of the immediately available options add any value to the conference's TV deal. If/when the B12 does get back to 12 teams, it's a given that they'll go back to having a CCG.

[DesignatedT]

The big12 will most certainly go back to 12 eventually. They aren't at 10 because they like being at 10 . They are at 10 because they aren't dumb enough to add worthless programs like Louisville and BYU or whatever. Once or if they can get a team like Florida State or someone who adds value they will add them.

Blake with the goods once again.

If there was a conference le game and had K State gone undefeated, there would be a chance they lose a conference le game.

if they lose one game, there is no guarantee the team from the other side is great enough to make up for one loss.

Nebraska losing to 7-5 Wisconsin this year for example.

Chances of going undefeated during regular season < Chances of winning a conference championship game.

[Blake]

Chances of going undefeated during regular season < Chances of winning a conference championship game.

how many times has winning the one extra game for a one loss team helped up a schools BCS rank enough to get in?

Lol OU even lost the conference le game to KST in the early 00s and still went to the NC.

So it is better at the moment for the Big XII to not have a conference championship.

Thanks for agreeing, aggy.

Had to wait on Colorado to get sick enough of the big12 to make a move.

NCAA rules require 12 teams to have a CCG. So, yes, it is indeed better at the moment for the big12 not to have a conference championship game that they're not allowed to have.

[Kermit]

They made the right choice.

Lol Colorado. What a ing dumpster fire.

the Big 12 could add two teams this second if they wanted to.

But we all agree they don't need a conference championship game bad enough to do it.

[coyotes_geek]

Yeah, Colorado is a mess. Utah isn't much better. But as we see time and time again, expansion is about TV's, not quality of the sports product.

Congrats, you've finally caught up.

Congrats, you've finally caught up.

I'm lapping you, tbh

[coyotes_geek]

Ok.

[Blake]

Ok with me too
