Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[Gismo]

Cliff notes is:

Big 12 waiting to April/May

AAC contacting Marshall

Big 12 possibly looking at ACC members

Be lives Cincy is most likely addition.

You forgot the part about how that guy doesn't know ****.

I'm not saying one should have any confidence in these claims.

They just belong here in the rumors, tweets, etc thread.

(3) The selection committee said not having a championship game mattered in this year's selection.

 

 

I really didn't follow that closely but some on the committee actually came out and said that?

We reporters pressed Long more, because while he said at the outset that Ohio State was a "decisive" No. 4 and the co-champ factor had nothing to do with the Big 12 snub, nothing else he said seemed to match that. He kept referring to the fact that Ohio State's extra game against a quality opponent tipped the balance between the Buckeyes and Baylor, which finished No. 5. He kept remarking that the four teams that made the playoff won conference titles. So, the notion that the Big 12 couldn't present a champion had to hurt the Bears and Horned Frogs. It might not have been the only reason the Big 12 got left out, but it had to weigh heavily, otherwise Long wouldn't have brought up those factors the way he did.

Still wondering if Baylor had played a better team that last game if it may have gone different ... and I guess winning a conference title is different than being a conference champion?

How can you play a better team than one ranked in the top 10? Kansas State was higher ranked than the 3 other winners final games against Wisconsin, Ga Tech, and Missou.

Another summer of expansion speculation. I can't wait!

[Flowers4Heisman]

Curiously, how much money do you think the B12 lost by not getting a team selected?

 

This is the real issue regarding what they will or will not do this summer.
