Agreed if the last 2 years and years before us has shown anything it's that they don't matter

It was a pleasure, not a punishment to ruin Auburn’s season.

Ohio st jumped baylor and purple baylor 3 yrs ago because of it. If ohio st didnt lose to iowa by 31 they would be in easy. 4 best teams not 4 best conference champs. Ohio St isn't a team to feel sorry for

How many years during the BCS did the Big 12 not have one?

1.) I am not sure how old you are, but Oklahoma got run over by K-State in 2003 (old history) 35-7 in the conference championship game. They got into the BCS championship game ranked at #2.

2.) There was a time when people argued that the conferences with a championship games had an unfair advantage because of the extra game. I think that there was a 2-week duration between the final regular season game and the championship game.

3.) If Notre Dame was currently 11-1 instead of 9-3 they would most likely be in the playoff without being in a conference competing for conference championship.

Just do away with them.


Yep. Bama getting in and not winning the conference. AU having to play the same team twice. Etc, etc..

I don't see how anyone can argue against your proposal with a straight face.

Some of us were having a conference championship ages before the idea of a playoff came around. If you need the playoff for your conference title to be meaningful - you're doing it wrong.

Only the B10CG doesn’t matter. Ask Penn State and Ohio State
