And then it comes crashing down the reminder that the SEC and Big-10 are all that matter. Period.
The Big-12 will be a one bid league forever unless they have two undefeated teams in the CCG. The margin for error is wider now than before for BYU, but essentially it remains the same. Go undefeated or you're probably not in the playoff. That's disheartening.
Just make a semi-pro league with the SEC and Big 10 and let the rest of the scrubs fight over the table scraps. That's all this is anyway.
