      Is this your attempt to finally provide some kind of factual basis in this argument?

          Oh please... We are talking about sports predictions here.

          If I were you I would tread lightly while posting on the same day as your broken vow of silence.

                I think he's talking about the two BCS championship games vacated by USC. So they don't officially count. But we all know they still do.

                  Don't answer. Given your comparison of Utah to Wyoming, it's clear nothing you say should be taken seriously.

                  I emphasize the word "READ". You'll have to do that and some basic table reading/interpretation. I'm sure you're capable given you went to a Pac16 school.

                  • Big 12 todo list:

                    (1) Fire Dan Beebe and hire an interim commissioner. (Check...)

                    The Big 12 is poised to replace commissioner Dan Beebe with former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas, CBSSports.com has learned.

                    One highly placed source said the conference was moving quickly to replace Beebe who had been under fire from some conference members after recent instability within the league. Neinas, currently a well-known college consultant, is expected to be named interim commissioner.

                    The official word could come as soon as Thursday when the Big 12 presidents meet by conference call to discuss how to move forward. Based on the news of Wednesday, the embattled league apparently will continue with nine schools while seeking additional members.

                    The Tulsa World reported Wednesday that the Big 12 had "targeted" Neinas, one of the most respected college figures in the country. Neinas was the assistant executive director of the NCAA from 1961-1971 and Big Eight commissioner from 1971-1980. He currently runs Neinas Sports Services.

                      If the games dont count why would you count them as B12 appearances?

                        Right......that's why they are called vacated

                          The Utes and their 45,000 seat Texas high school stadium believe that they somehow belong in the Pac16 beyond simple religious discrimination and are the greatest Pac12 shrills known to man.
                          Actually Aggy is the HARDEST fan base to pick apart. They don't get it.

                          This is on our boards right now:
                          aggy starting to see the writing on the wall?? Oh my. This is gonna be great!!

                          WOW.... It is scary that some get it and try to point it out. The other just talk around the rational thinkers. They even want to vote out Baylor. lol They refuse to grasp:

                          1. SEC requires a signed waiver.
                          2. BU/KSU/ect. are not signing it. (no need to argue about grounds for lawsuits.)
                          3. OU staying doesn't mean anyone is signing the waiver
                          4. the SEC has to lift the waiver to finalize the move.

                          They refuse to grasp those simple facts..........
                          There is no rationing with aggy.

                            Why not? They didn't vacate anything

                              Evidently, you missed reading the part that said this survey is "highly inaccurate." That's the fine print, by the way.

                                The wins were vacated for SC but the games still took place and of course they count. Texas still won that game. How can they win a game that doesn't count? Oklahoma still lost the Orange Bowl (lol!) and the record books all show who beat them. Unless they lost to nobody, which would not be unthinkable given how they played that night
