re: Andy Staples says, Blame Okie St and the Big 12 if you don't like the matchup

Bad thing for them, is that the Big 12 keeps going backwards. They've catered and given so much to Texas, at the expense of their conference and progress, it's cost them possibly this year and will in future yrs. I can see a scenario where there are undefeated teams from the SEC, Big Ten and Big 12 and the Big 12 gets overlooked again, because they dropped a conference championship game.

I don't know when other conferences will learn to use the SEC as a model for progress. The Pac 10 and Big 10 refused for yrs under the Bowl Coalition before they finally saw the light with the advent of the BCS
