Nice to hear K-State HC Chris Klieman rant about the Big 12 disrespect

Stupid that MWC almost is an easier path to CFB. We thought we’d gotten past the

Yeah, why is it the Top 5 conf champs and not Top 4? With 4 byes it should be 4.

andrewg3

12:02am

Because it was always thought that the top 4 would be your conf champs

Crowd Factor

Because when it was written, there were still 5 power conferences.

It actually was a 6+6 model before the Pac 12 dissolved and then earlier

Crowd Factor

And we don't even have a weak schedule this year.

I've often thought about how, if there was a legit playoff, then it wouldn't

This isn't a legit playoff. There would be no committee.

Y05

7:03am

Agree, but at least it's better than the 2 and 4 team sham "playoffs" we used to

porl thompson

8:30am

True, but NEED 24 to 28 teams like the other divisions of college football have

Starting with both teams that make it to P4 CCG games. Maybe eventually replace CCG’s with 1st round of playoffs.

Neither does FCS. But many are clamoring for a model like that to be employed. They have a committee that picks 14 of

It’s a far easier path. Boise would have four losses in the big 12 if not more. Less than a one score game against wy

And the Big 12 plays 6 away games vs 4 for the SEC and Big 10

Let’s learn from this and schedule like the SEC here on out. Let’s be smart

Do we really want to watch 4 punching bag games at home?

1. I like watching wins no matter who the opponent is. 2. If that's the trade

Along with 4 good B12 teams? Certainly.

Soupie

This has so many benefits that it should be taken advantage of immediately

Pobs

This is why you need a 16 team playoff. You will get multiple teams from each

24 to 28 teams like the other divisions have proven to work forever

RUNBYU1

9:14am

I just don't see this every happening. Which means it will 😉

Cougar TD

Make deep playoff runs and win the natty regularly. That's what Big 12 has to do

Y05

4:39am

Didn't help when TCU and Baylor got shafted in 2014...

puntersarepeople

8:35am

True, but when the SEC/B1G each have 4 teams in playoffs (vs 1) = disadvantage

Happy As Larry

You're speaking the truth to fans who won't accept this. Win and earn it.

Diablo and Doc

10:40am

That is the correct thinking when everyone has the same access, but everyone doesn't

Remigius

1:18pm

He's not wrong. While the B1G plays 9 league games. The "big bad" SEC only plays

Complete garbage.

Many of you may disagree but Utah and OSU are at fault, our two programs failed the Big 12.

Tokolosh

It's true, but I hate it.

IdahoCoug

9:06am

So was that a Ute failure? (Yes they failed) Or was it the system that puts too much stock in

Soupie

9:11am

No matter what the Utes do, they are a failure. Paraphrasing the venerable Max Hall, their whole existence is a failure.

IdahoCoug

9:16am

Once again showing why there should not be any polls till about week 4 or 5.

airwolf

10:45am

Unfortunately, I agree. Preseason expectations matter. Teams like ASU and BYU

CougBlu

11:26am

This is true. And it shows why preseason rankings and hype are stupid.

Atmospheric_Cougar

12:05pm

Don’t put words in my mouth. I did say I expected them to compete for the Big 12 championship, not breeze through.

Tokolosh

1:26pm

LOL, what words did I put in your mouth? Please be specific.

Atmospheric_Cougar

2:31pm

A bunch of Ute homers on CB (including you Tokolosh) were loving Utah's preseason hype and ranked position.

Tokolosh

2:39pm

That is not putting words in your mouth. It is calling out all Ute homers on CB.

Atmospheric_Cougar

3:12pm

You said I was loving the preseason hype... I was not. I've got plenty of posts calling out that I didn't trust Cam...

Tokolosh

3:19pm

In general the B12 (current form) is easier in football than the legacy P12. I will get blasted.

I kind of agree with this... although Utah had no business carrying the conference and they were overrated coming in...

Coug

2:46pm

Coaches arguing with Refs is a mental game too.Big12 needs to get a political push to land 2 teams. 10-2 BYU makes sense

that and all the top teams keep losing... that sure doesn't help
