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

Putting that aside, I agree. The system is the problem in this issue, and it's a BIG problem going forward.

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.

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

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

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.

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

porl thompson

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

It's true, but I hate it.

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

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

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

CougBlu

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

The Big XII is also being punished by the media in its perception due the media being so wrong in its own preseason
