Ultimately I am thinking just how you are. With the Big 12 not having a conference championship game screams for expansion, point blank. |

You have 4 playoff spots for 5 power conferences. 4 of the power 5 have a conference championship and the Big 12 is at a huge competitive disadvantage without one. Should Baylor and TCU both be left out today I think there's almost certainly going to be some Big 12 members advocating hard for expansion.
For the Big 12 to remain relevant and not be looked at like the Big East was in the BCS Era they're going to need to go to 12 at some point. I know they have a GOR but that could fall apart very quickly if the member schools argue that the conference affiliation is putting them at a competitive disadvantage. Should be interesting to see what happens from here, if anything. The problem with this post is I'm using rational thought and we all know that conference expansion has nothing to do with rational thought. |

Cincinnati will never play in the Big 12 as it is currently constructed. Absolutely no chance. If they do, I'll leave this board forever....

Ohio State isn't going to get in the playoff.

5 dimes has tOSU as -510 favorites to make the playoff right now... Should be some free money out there for you to take the other side.
Also fingers crossed tOSU gets in because it definitely helps our chances of a big12 invite. |
