  1. Any retro-actively claimed title. If your administration at the time didn't think you won it, you most certainly didn't. Here's looking at you, Texas A&M, Alabama, Washington, and Oklahoma State just off memory.

     

    Second, 1974 OU. On probation so ineligible for a bowl game or the Coaches Poll. Fuck cheaters and fuck OU.

    What are the other 2 losses? Can I trade an OU loss for a UTSA loss instead so we have a win over OU?  I can live with that.  

    I can also live with that. Pick whoever you want for the other two losses.

    Agreed. It would also mean one conference loss, so we'd be in the CCG. 

    Bama and ULM lets Texas go undefeated in conference play but makes for a very shitty September. BU and OSU are realistic losses but might keep us out of the CCG (say BU only loses to OSU and OSU only loses to OU).

    Would y'all still take 9-3 right now, if one of the three losses was OU?

    How about ...

    Texas caused all of this.

    The first domino to fall in this new world order was when the Texas Longhorn Network aired in 2011. Texas then bullied the B12 into dissolving and basically the rest is history. So thanks Texas for fricking everything up for everyone! 
     
    Haha!  We are getting credit for all this shit?  Gzzzzzzz.  Whatever.

    Of course we are. Everyone loves to blame the best.

    I doubt any Big 12 school is left out of a 64 team field. That would be a lot of schools.

    Using 2025 numbers, I have

    • SEC: 16
    • Big 10: 16
    • ACC: 14
    • Big 12: 12
    • Pac-12: 10
    • Notre Dame

    For a total of 69 teams. The five to dump (just thinking football) are what? Wake Forest, Rutgers, Kansas, Duke, Syracuse?

    probably because they will jump and they are major state universities.   The Big 12 isn't thumping melons to find the ones that are just right, its grabbing value to stay alive.   

    The Cal/Stanford market though is something I'm sure they will go for.    Let's pretend they do get the six and the Big Ten takes Stanford and ND to 18.    I think the question becomes who does the Big 12 take with Cal to get to 20.

    The Big Ten/SEC are fighting with brands, the Big 12 has to eat the other sharks in the womb with footprint, performance, and marketing.  

    Maybe I should have said "Stanford and/or Cal." It doesn't make sense to me to expand west and skip the whole state of California. Utah can't provide much as the Big 12 is already getting BYU. Don't need both Arizona and ASU to claim the state for TV markets. So why not initially target

    1. UW
    2. UO
    3. CU
    4. One of Zona or ASU
    5. One of Stanford or Cal
    6. Another Pac-12 school - If this is ASU or Utah, it's still after a California-based school

    The Big 12 should only try to get the Arizona schools. Wait and see if Washington/Oregon end up in the Big 10. Would be awful to get Utah/Colorado if they could have had Oregon/Washington.

    Fine to skip Utah and CU, but then actively go for Oregon and Washington. Ask Oregon and Washington if they want their little brothers to come along since the Big 10 probably won't take OSU and WSU.

  8. Everybody other than the SEC needs to be acting today.

    ACC: Beg ND to fully join.
    Big 10: Tell ND they have a spot, but if they decline, the Big 10 will add others. Heavily consider Washington and Oregon. Tell UNC and Virginia they can come.
    Big 12: Try to go to 16 with UA, ASU, Utah, and CU.
    Pac 12: Try to grab some Big 12 teams or propose a merger for the first 20+ team conference, the "Big Pac-2x".
    ...
    SEC: Do something anyway to go to 18 or 20.

    Well Miami vs BC has the Flutie game. I don't follow Carolina area sports to know if there is a thing between Clemson and NC State but they have certainly played a lot. Most of the ACC schools are a long way away so why would they be exciting to us? 

    Good match ups are entertaining no matter how physically far away they are. Some quotes from fans of ACC schools:

    • Georgia Tech and Clemson makes sense... Wake Forest and Louisville? What? Duke, FSU, Virginia, VT, UNC, Miami... anyone that was in the coastal... ANY of those make more sense than WF and Louisville.
    • Wake and NCSU was among the longest continuously played rivalries in the country.
    • Miami had to have FSU, VT, and then either BC or Pitt since Miami has Big East history with those teams. Not having Miami and VT is just... questionable.
