    Watch out, B12! The B1G is coming for you and the ACC (ACC sez: F*** this sh**!)

    The Big Ten is just waiting for a shoe to drop in the race for conference expansion against the other power 4 conferences and doesn't have to move an inch. Other schools will end up doing the dirty work for them.

          CFP Executive Director sez: What's the rush?

          The Big 12 is right to be smart and calculating.
          That was the general message from College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock during Day 2 of Big 12 media days Tuesday....

          "...One year doesn't make a trend," Hancock said. "I think the Big 12 is smart to sit back and wait. I think they're smart to be deliberate and thoughtful about this."

            As presently constituted, the Big 12 I think is essentially dead as soon as Texas, OU, and whoever else possibly manages to ride on their coattails out of the league. If OU wants more teams, it's stupid not to listen just because you want to be deliberate and are afraid of the short term poissiblity of having a smaller slice of pie.

              That assumes that what the Big12 is doing is 1) smart, 2) calculated.

              Pretty sure whenever Bowlsby opens his mouth, he invalidates the whole argument.

                  Some interesting (read: stupid) answers from those B12 kids.

                  Name at least one school you would add to the Big 12.

                  Texas A&M 22%

                  BYU 17%

                  Houston 11%

                  Nebraska 11%

                  Also receiving votes: Arkansas, Boise State, Missouri, Oregon, Texas State, UCF, USC

                    Most B12 coaches are pro-expansion but Gary Patterson is still a douchebag.

                      Gary Patterson is an idiot.

                        This is funny:

                        He acts like they booted Nebraska and they would come running back if given a chance.

                          So for Gary it's all about the travel hardship? I guess if any of the Big XII would have problems springing for an extra few gallons of jet fuel, it'd be TCU.

                          However, so strange for Gary to bite the hand that feeds him, considering how the Frogs were screwed last season. I think they could have given OSU a run.

                            They wouldn't have played OSU if they hadn't been screwed.

Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                                What's funny is that if they had 12 they'd actually have to travel to one less game in conference and could have an extra home game.
