re: Should there be an actual BCS rule against a rematch?

Well all teams need to be in a conference and have a conference championship game. Big 12 has no conference championship game right now, only the end of the season games - OU and OSU, UT and Baylor. And ND is in not in a conference.

In 2008, SEC Commissioner Slive proposed a 4 team playoff. Big 12 Commish Beebe, Big 10 Delany and the Pac 10 commish blocked it. Since then, the SEC has gone on to win 3 straight. The SEC has won 5 straight.

If the commissioners had approved Slive's proposal, LSU would probably be playing Stanford and Alabama and Okie lite would be playing. The winners of those four would have played for it all.

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe all but killed his own conference on April 30, 2008.

That’s when he decided to team up with the Big Ten and Pac-10 to reject a four-team playoff being pushed by the SEC and ACC. If the Big 12 (and/or the Big East) had supported it, the so-called “Plus One” model likely would’ve happened.

Big 12 blew it by eschewing playoff
