    • I do miss DDD's Twitter updates.

      I had a friend of Holmoe tell me Tom's focus right now, despite the Utes recent petulance, is on the impending vote. He seems convinced, at least according to this individual, that BYU is going to get the invite. I remain reticent. Oh yes, I am reticent.

          If you're wrong don't lose your mind and disappear like your cousin Blue Hair did. Let me prepare you. It's not going to happen. Wishful thinking; pure fancy.

            • Thanks, Creekster. I was going to leave the board and spend my life looking for a squatch but now I think I'll stick around.

                    • Man I've been out of it w everything going on w BYU. I didn't realize the championship game was already set and it was being played in AZ until today when I saw a bunch of Alabama shirts walking around for no apparent reason.

                      • The SEC gives its opinion...



                        The SEC’s Sankey, noting his conference has the “greatest sample size” (of championship games (24 years), said, “We’re fine with the status quo.


                        “There is a standard that’s been set, and there are four conferences among the five that meet that standard,” he said. "But there’s an openness to see if there’s an approach that works for the Big 12 in its current circumstance.”

                        Expect some 11th-hour negotiations to try to achieve the compromise Bowlsby is seeking. If not, though, given previous concerns by Bowlsby that his conference champion may be “disadvantaged” in the playoff system by only playing 12 games, the expansion rumor mill will begin churning in earnest.

                          • Good news, Cougar fans. Greg Swaim is on BYU SportsNation right now, and he says the Big12 likely will not expand!

                            • http://www.sbnation.com/college-foot...tion-proposals

                              A high-ranking official at a voting conference told SB Nation it is "likely" that the Big Ten proposal will be amended to allow for a conference with round-robin scheduling to hold a football championship of its own, so long as that conference's top two seeds compete in the game. That appears similar to what Dallas Morning News reporter Chuck Carlton floated last night as well.

                              • I can't believe they're so stupid to give the Big 12 an in like that every year.

                                That's it, though. I don't think we're ever getting in if it goes like that.
