I think our time would be better spent getting rid of the teams we don't like.

We could go back to 8 and use our old Big 8 name. 

This sounds like a job for the Blues Brothers.

[steve dave]

hilarous big 8 idea: we go back to 8 and the big 8 name. eventually all of NU's big 8 records are overtaken by texas (and a lot of other teams but texas being the important one in this scenario). everyone laughs and parties. nebraska fans try to edit wikipedia thousands of times but, nope. in your face.

Deuces, Baylor and WVU.

This conference would be so great without those two dead weights. Get rid of the smallest fanbase and the trashiest fanbase at the same time.

I think I'd rather keep Baylor than TCU, though.

Absolutely.  Why would anyone get ride of Baylor and not TCU?  Baylor has an all-around excellent athletic program.

Three years ago before all of the conference realignment BS started would you have swapped Baylor for TCU? I would have. Baylor is still the worst football program in B12 history. Let's not get too caught up in a couple of good seasons...

Is any of this substantial? need some crap to occupy my time this summer

Three years ago RG3 was kicking ass and Baylor athletics was the highest it has ever been.  I would not have swapped Baylor for TCU, especially since TCU (football) played in the Big East.  I do not see Baylor falling back down.

this is a dumb argument - why get rid of a Texas school when ISU is available?

whoever said FSU would get snubbed based on being in the ACC (as opposed to the B12) probably has not watched a football game this year

Well if they keep beating top 10 teams by infinity, conference affiliation is going to play a smaller role

I still don't like FSU's chances if Oregon is unbeaten and the SEC champ has only 1 loss (unless that team is Mizzou).  That said, I am not sure if they were in this years Big 12 it would help any.

It wouldn't this year.

[Panjandrum]

If there's one thing we've learned from all of this it's that the Big 12 just sitting on its ass and doing nothing is always the best option.

People thought it was because they were lazy.

I honestly think Bowlsby saw how it went down in the Pac-12, how they really got nothing out of it, and said, "Yeah, make that money."

Utah and Buffs are causing heartburn via smaller pieces of the pie.

especially when you consider the headaches of determining divisions.

A one loss SEC team is not getting into the championship over an undefeated Oregon, Ohio State, Florida State, or even Baylor.

I hope you are right but I will believe it when I see it, especially for Baylor and OSU.  I mean, the ballot rigging in the final polls the last time the coaches and writers will have the opportunity to do so should be breathtaking.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I really don't think Alabama is losing a game this year, either. The rest of the SEC is just garbage.

FSU/Oregon would definitely be in.  OSU would likely be in.  Baylor would maybe be in.  That one loss SEC team would likely be Bama defending 2 titles.  Granted their loss would be late in the year, but its tough for me to imagine Baylor getting in over 1 loss Bama with this Big 12.

I am rooting for any combo of Baylor/Oregon/FSU.  So much fun to be had.

Oregon/Baylor would be the best BCS title game since OSU/Miami.

This. If we are going to kick out anyone, then it should be ISU.
