It’s no surprise the B12 has no respect. Texas & Oklahoma gave it credibility.

Conflict of interest is real, but the transparency may hold some of that in check.. or at least provide accountability.

Crazy Joe Davola

7:17am

I think transparency in some regards might make it worse.

cougarfann888

7:20am

Without it, you get the small time ADs bucking for big time gigs and stroking egos for personal gain

Crazy Joe Davola

Wouldn’t change anything. It’s closer to that format right now than you’re giving them credit for.

If you've ever made a decision as a group, it's not the group that decides, it's a couple alphas.

It's about when you lose, people. That's it. That's why we are ranked so low.

So explain the sec schools? Or Indiana who looked like crap against

If Indiana lost again, they would be ranked below us

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

They would go down nine spots? Where has that happened with anyone else?

Kansas isn't "3-9" they're 5-6 and have beaten three straight ranked opponents

But Notre Dame lost super early and has looked great since then
