In their defense they have had like 2 good seasons of football ever. Makes sense

I've been kinda assuming that cinci was in the top 2 (with BYU of course)

Wow, that is much closer than I like. I thought....

7/20/16 2:35pm

Keep in mind that the criteria coaches would use to pick teams are much

So if the coaches had their way, it would be BYU, Houston, Cincy, and Memphis

If going to 14, this wouldn't be a bad move.

rainorsnow

7/20/16 2:38pm

Or maybe they each chose 2 teams... you know, to make 12

Fetchin Fetcher

Coaches have seen the data:

Machiavelli

7/20/16 4:09pm

Data on why they should expand or data on individual teams?

Jericho
