ESPN Talk about Big 10/Pac 12 Championship Scenario

Big 10 would prefer: 1) Status quo; 2) Plus one; 3) 4-team playoff....Want to preserve the "status" of the Rose Bowl....Wants to use selection committee to choose if there is a playoff....
I say screw 'em....Keep the status quo and let the SEC continue its run of championships...

Those guys are such dorks.

the Status quo in my opinion is 100 times better than a plus one anyways. I have never seen where picking just 2 teams is better in January than it is in December. Same problems, same issues. maybe even more people to bitch about being hosed

frick the stupid Rose Bowl, it's not above any of the other BCS games. That is all.

The big 10 and Pac 10 will force a compromise to conference champs only or the conference champs in the top 6 option Delany threw out there earlier. The SEC and big 12 don't want the current system anymore. Then all the conference go to 16 teams so there are only 4 conference champs

The idea floated by the Big 10 today was awful. Why even come to the table or drawing board with something so dumb. They will not keep the Rose Bowl as it is. Times are changing, deal with it.

The run will continue, of not become more likely to last with a playoff. There's really nothing they can do about it.

You so sure about that?

How is it any different from the Fiesta/Sugar/Orange? The payout is exactly the same.

They (The Big 10) keeps acting as though they are still relevant.

The Rose Bowl is usually a game between one big, slow team and one really small, quick team that the top SEC teams would beat the shite out of.

This seems like a decent compromise if there is some sort of stipulation that the top 2 ranked teams get in no matter what, and then if of the remaining 4 ranked schools, 2 are conference champs they should get the nod. I don't have a problem with that set up. There need to be some objective qualifications, otherwise there is really no point in going to the playoff at all.

These people are going to frick UP college football. What a greed fiesta.
I hope the SEC teams just keep whipping that arse of all the other conferences. Not a darn thing they can do about it.

I went through the last 5 yrs and rankings at the end of the season, before bowls. If this proposal had been in effect, there would have been 4 teams in the 5 yrs left out, ranked above a conf champ that would have gotten in. One SEC team, 2 Pac10 teams and a Big 10 team would have gotten jumped.

here is what I checked out.

Did some looking. Here are where big 6 conference champs finished since 2007.
2007
1. Ohio St
2. Lsu
3. Va Tech
4. Oklahoma
7. USC
9. W. Virginia
non conf teams - 5. Georgia 6. Missouri
2007 would have Ohio St, Lsu, Va Tech and Oklahoma, the top 4 teams and 4 conf winners.
2008
1. Oklahoma
2. Florida
5. USC
8. Penn St
12. Cincy
19. Va Tech
nonconf winners- 3. Tx 4. Bama 6. Utah 7. Tx Tech
2008 would have Okie, Fla, USC and Texas playing. It would have 3 conference winners, leaving out #4 Bama.
2009
1. Bama
2. Texas
3. Cincy
7. Oregon
8. Ohio St
non conf winners- 4. TCU 5. Florida 6. Boise St
2009 would have Bama, Texas, Cincy and TCU playing, the top 4 teams and 3 conference winners
2010
1. Auburn
2. Oregon
6. Ohio St (9.Mich St)
7. Oklahoma
13. Va Tech
22. W Virginia
non conf winners 3. TCU 4. Stanford 5. Wisconsin
2010 would have Auburn, Oregon, Ohio St(if allowed, which would be likely, and TCU. Leaving out #4 Stanford and #5 Wisconsin in place of OSU.
2011
1. Lsu
3. Oklahoma St
5. Oregon
10. Wisconsin
15. Clemson
23. W. Virginia
non conf winners - 2. Alabama 4. Stanford 6. Arkansas 7. Boise St
2011 would have Lsu, Okie St, Oregon and Bama. Leaving out #4 Stanford
In 5 yrs of playoffs, under the proposal, 4 teams ranked higher than a conference champion would be left out of the playoff(1 SEC, 2 Pac12 and 1 BigTen team). Looking back to 2009, you'd have a team like Cincy in, that was no match for the SEC runner up.
It needs to be the top 4 teams. Period.

I really don't see how they can justify "fairness" when a 10th ranked teamgets in over #'s 2,4,6,7,8,9.
