I don't have a problem w/ re-shuffling. we play everyone every year regardless.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

It needs to be a random draw, widely televised, like the Hunger Games selections.

How about only play the top 2 teams if they have the same record.  If there is a clear number 1, use the extra game to play the 2 teams that need an extra win to become bowl eligible.

The new NCAA bylaws only allow a CCG if it is from two divisions.

Added benefit of everyone in the league is a division champ talking point. Makes the big 12 seem very tough

Yes. That also allows schools like KU and ISU to hang a banner at the end of the year and feel good about their season.

That is ideal, but logistically it doesn't work.

Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek recently met with Pac-12 Conference commissioner Larry Scott.

"A university source did not disclose the nature of the talks," reported the Houston Chronicle, "but it is believed that one of the topics was conference expansion." As ESPN's Travis Haney wrote on Twitter, leaking discussions the day before the Big 12 decides whether to expand is nothing short of inspired. The Cougars have been trying to break into the Big 12 for a few years now -- and have a compelling case to do so -- but have reportedly been barred by the conference's Texas-based schools in an effort to protect market share, both from a financial and recruiting standpoint. But if the Big 12 allows Houston to escape to the Pac-12, that power conference would infiltrate not only the fertile state of Texas but the nation’s fourth-largest city. Stay tuned for high drama on the expansion front. In addition to UH, the Big 12 has reportedly considered Cincinnati, BYU, Memphis, UCF, USF, UConn, Boise State and Colorado State.

This dude from Raleigh newspaper reporting ACC about to announce cable channel, maybe as soon as Thursday.

Now that would be devastating news for the Big 12. OU would be so pissed.

This is a fantastic idea, 5 divisions of 2 would also work for me.

As expected:

@GeorgeSchroeder: After meeting today, Big 12 presidents likely to announce tabling of expansion consideration, at least for the near-term (several years).
