    What are the pros and cons of having a conference championship game?
    How Bowlsby should have answered: The pros are that there would be "one true champion" every year and the additional revenue garnered from a conference championshiop game.

    If this had happened to Texas and Oklahoma instead of TCU and Baylor, BYU would be in the Big 12 already.
    if it were texas and oklahoma one of them wouldve been in the playoff

FSU was undefeated and defending national champions. Alabama was ranked #1 and going through one of the more dominant stretches in college football history. The team on the cusp was Ohio St. and the Buckeyes carry as much water in college football as the Sooners and Longhorns. Ohio St. had an impressive victory in their conference championship game. Texas and Oklahoma would both had been left out of the playoffs just like TCU and Baylor. The only difference is that Bowlsby would have been given orders to rectify the situation and expand the Big 12 before it happens to either team again.

            OSU carry's plenty of water to dislodge TCU/Baylor, but could they have done so to OU/UT? Doubtful.

              Disagree. My perspective is that of growing up in the midwest and now living near the HQ of the Big 12. Not many teams could dislodge OU or UT but Ohio St. is one of the few. And it would occur only because the Big 12 is no longer playing a CCG while the PAC-12 and B1G expanded to do just that. If either OU or UT win a Big 12 championship game, they most likely retain their ranking and make the playoffs. But OU and UT will continue to be at risk by not playing a CCG while another tradional power wins their CCG.

              • Nice twitter rant. I'll leave it to JL, CMBF and UT to tell us what the last tweet says about left vs right vaccine idiocy.

                • Maybe we don't want in the Big 12 after all, since they are anti-vaxxers.

                        This is the guy that outmaneuvered us to get into the Big 12?

                            This seems rock solid.

                              I'm only buying this if it was overheard at 31 flavors last night.
