The real winners here are Colorado, Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Missouri for getting out of that garbage Big 12 conference.
Wow, what a mess the Big 12 is.
I thought the Bowlsby said that the league coaches voted and the AD's approved that there would be co champions and that the "tie breaker" would only be used to select the bowl rep. He said he misspoke at the Big 12 media days.I agree. Everyone bowing down to UT ruined it. The buffoon of a commissioner going against the by-laws and declaring "co-champions" didn't help them this year either. They deserve what they get/got.

According to Bowlsby, thats not how they set up their conference rules. They shot themselves in the foot.Regardless if Baylor made the playoff, they've should've been unanimous conference champions. They beat TCU. In retrospect, that was the de facto conference championship game.
I think you can place blame in only one place! Austin, Texas!The real winners here are Colorado, Nebraska, Texas A&M, and Missouri for getting out of that garbage Big 12 conference.

Yep, The Longhorns are who started this snowball rolling downhill for the Big 12. But their Commissioner and overall structure are compounding the problem even further.I think you can place blame in only one place! Austin, Texas!
Couldn’t agree more but I would add a small sliver of blame belongs in Norman, Oklahoma. UT and OU were just fine taking more money than the lower level schools from the conference. The Longhorn Network was the straw, but both these schools had had their noses up for years that isolated all the other schools.I think you can place blame in only one place! Austin, Texas!
You why it's not higher? Because it's Baylor and TCU. When they made schedules a few years ago even they didn't know or expect to be this good. That's the difference between being a big dog and a chihuahua. One of the differences, anyways.I somewhat agree, but if their OOC schedule had been higher than say, um, ant's butt we wouldn't be having this discussion.
