If you had to choose...Share of Big XII title or BCS game?

[wetwillie]

Winning a BCS game would also be really really hot, though.

New Orleans on NYE, then watch a game in the 'Dome three days later?   

Rooting for whichever scenario gives K-State (yet another) conference champy and a BCS game.  If at all possible.  So I guess that means I'm rooting hard for ISU to beat OU?

Yes

BCS bowl. (only if we win though)  just imagine the hype we get going into next year coming off a BCS bowl win.

Nobody outside of Kansas would even care.

Nobody outside of Kansas would even care.

But in fairness, would anybody outside of Kansas give a crap if we were conference co-champions who had lost tiebreakers to both of the other teams we tied with?

Yes, all the other schools in the Big 12 would care. Nobody outside of Big 12 territory would care, though.

You get a nice trophy and get to be called champions of the conference.  you don't get that for participating in a bowl game.  geez guys, even powertards aren't this dumb.

Two conference championship trophies would look so hott.

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS: 2003, 2011

Yeah.  That looks great.

stunned. dlew gets it. 

[Matt Siebrant's Left Hand]

Payout per team:

Cotton Bowl: $3.625 million
BCS Bowl: $17 million

Any scenario that gets us in a BCS bowl is the right one. Hardware is nice, but an extra $14 million would be nicer.

This.

[fatty fat fat]

the entire point is to win the big 12.

[Coley]

No moral victories. Lone Champions or nothing

We also get to fly another flag!  Conference championships, and it's not even debatable.

Mods rename to bcs bowls are awesome, squawkapalooza master thread

No matter what happens a BCS at large is a beauty contest; as long as the Big 12 gets 2 teams in, the money is essentually the same.

There is no guarantee we get selected based on the OU/OSU winner, but we know its a guarantee (as long as we beat ISU) that we'll share a Big 12 title if OU wins.

I don't see what makes this hard.

This.

KU will end up with just as much bowl revenue as we do, regardless of which game we play in.

"By and Large"  . . . A Conference Title in Football is a way bigger deal than basketball . . .  2003 is still a huge deal. cotton bowl, fiesta bowl meh.

We don't get a trophy for going to a BCS Bowl.

I think we do, actually.

There are other ways to get into a BCS game besides being a good football team. KU proved that. Shitty teams play in BCS games every year. You have to be elite to win a conference footballl title in one of the 3 major conferences.

This is true there have been some shitty teams in BCS games the last several years. Notre Dame, Hawaii, Wake Forest off the top of my head

Pretty sure we get some kind of consolation trophy for just showing up.  At least I think other bowl games work that way.

For instance, I think I've seen that K-State has 2 Cotton Bowl trophies.

THIS JUST MIGHT CHANGE EVERYTHING.

Over the years, I've realized that in life, rooting for something to happen is a tremendous waste of time.  If you want something to happen, go make it happen.   Assuming no one here is planning on murdering every single player/coach of OU & OSU - I'm just going to sit back, watch the next two weeks of football & enjoy the fact that the team I love surprised the hell out of me & won more than 6 games.  I'm already happy with either scenario.
