      I've read a couple of tweets lately (one from Trevor Matich) that the Big-12 will appeal to the P5 board (or maybe NCAA? not clear who they "appeal to") to allow them a conference championship game with only 10 teams. I guess the top two teams play for the championship at the end of the regular season. So there would obviously be a rematch. Sneaky way to stay at 10 but play a championship game.

        I bet the PAC will be real happy that they had to bring on Utah to get a CCG, if they give them an exception.

          You are probably right. I've heard lots of grumbling about Utah being in the conference this year from UCLA, USC, and Stanford fans.

            No grumbling from Washington St. fans!
            "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. Uchtdorf

              If you guys could only see yourselves the way we see you. Stanford has people who attended school there that care about football?

                Won't happen. It's been begged for in the past and I don't see the other conferences that expanded getting on board with that.

                  Yeah, especially when the other 4 conferences are using the CCG as ammo in the playoff discussion.

                    You and your pathetic, obsessive hatred for Utah are no indication of how others see us. Why does't BYU get a clue about what the Big 12's lack of interest in BYU says about how others regard BYU? I've been telling you for years that all you need to do is expunge your manifold hatreds and maybe you'll get an invitation to one of the major conferences.

                        You are not BYU. It's not clear to me what you are.

                          A few seasons ago BYU sold game day shirts that read, "I am BYU."

                          i didnt care for that shirt and didn't buy one.

                            One of your best posts ever is when you said you wear the BYU shirts that might be mistaken for Yale.

                              That was one of his best posts ever. Speaks volumes.

                                This is the Big 12's way of saying that there isn't any good options for expansion, so let us have a title game.
