With the new 4 team playoff as well as the PAC/B1G and SEC/Big 12 deals, access to the national championship might even be twice as hard for most programs than the BCS system.Comment

How does the SEC/B12 deal have any bearing on how hard it is to get into the proposed 4 team playoff? I'm not following the logic. The B12/SEC deal is just a privately arranged bowl game between the top SEC/B12 teams who don't make it into the 4 team playoff. The only difference between this game and a traditional bowl is that the game won't be lining the pockets of some bowl committee, and the payout for the teams/conferences involved will be probably much larger than whatever other bowl they might have otherwise gone to.Originally posted by USU Coug View Post
I see it giving the SEC and B12 more money, but it doesn't change or have any bearing on the access to the national championship given that pretty much everyone already assumed that we were going to some kind of 4 team playoff.Comment

while this new SEC/Big XII deal doesn't change the 4 team playoff proposal, I think it hinders a 4 team playoff eventually evolving into an 8 or 16 team playoff.Originally posted by BYUMizzou View Post

As the article said this is just another version of the Capitol One Bowl. If anything if they opt to do this in Atlanta or Dallas, it will open up the Sugar Bowl to other teams outside the SEC. I think it also spells out that the current BCS Bowls may not be used in the 4 team playoff. It will be interesting to see what happens. Notre Dame won't feel pressure to join a conference unless the 4 team playoff is for conference champions exclusively. I still don't see that happening. There would be too many lawsuits. My guess is they end up with a selection committee. We'll still end up at an 8 team playoff in the end."To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail."

Yowza!
Can you imagine if we would have gotten into the Big 12 last year? I'll try not to think about it
"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

The conference was too unstable for a school of BYU's stature to take the chance TCU did. TCU had nothing to lose.Originally posted by Moliere View PostYowza!

Good point. The other instance of this happening is when TCU was invited to the Big 12 with little buzz preceding the announcement.Originally posted by Indy Coug View PostComment
