    Although I will say that Cincy can be a little helpful to BYU by taking out Houston this week and then hope that UH beats Memphis. UH is riding high now, but haven't really played anyone. Cincy has a tougher schedule and did beat Miami, so it could go either way, I think. One thing seems pretty certain though. There will be almost no defense played in that game. If these things happen you'll suddenly see BYU jump past these teams and show up on the committee's top 25 list.

      I think the list of people that would argue that point is growing smaller all the time.
      Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

          I love how a pair of chuckleheads out of West Virginia fancy themselves the voice of expansion for the Big 12.

            I was in Dayton, Ohio today.

            MHVer3 can s a d. So can everyone else who says that BYU will be excluded from B12 expansion.

              A guy from a company who is trying to sell us stuff took me out for lunch yesterday. We were chit-chatting and he told me that he was from Dayton originally. I reflexively almost said "Thanks, Dayton!", but then thought he may not get the reference, so I kept quiet. Looking back though, it would have been a good way to tell if he is a regular here.

                Why the apocalypse (OU getting screwed) is necessary to get these chuckleheads to Do the Right Thing.

                  Agree. I remember stating this earlier that it is not enough that TCU and Baylor get screwed out of the playoffs, it needs to happen to OU and/or (preferably) UT for the Big 12 to get serious about expansion.

                      I want to argue with this, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed.

                            The one that kills me is the idea that Memphis is a hot commodity.

                            Terrible football support
                            One decent football season only halfway completed (how did Tulane do after going undefeated in 1998/)
                            Terrible stadium
                            Basketball support slowly eroding as the Memphis NBA scene develops
                            Terrible academics
                            Recruiting? You don't pick expansion partners based on recruiting. That's like buying a car because you like the way the seat reclines.
