Tokolosh Stop the Stupid party member

They incorrectly assumed the BIG 12 would be easy vs their former PAC 12 conference.

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.

Y05

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

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.

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

RUNBYU1

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

airwolf

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

CougBlu

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

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

Tokolosh

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

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

Tokolosh

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

Atmospheric_Cougar

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

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

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
