re: Big 12, ACC coaches not keen on proposed CFP byes for SEC, Big Ten
Posted by ChiTownJ on 3/2/24 at 7:03 pm
Breaking away sounds great until it isn't. Yes, more money but there is a lot of crap involved with managing minor sports. Plus, using wrestling as an example, I imagine the Cornell's, Pittsburgh's, Iowa State's, and other wrestling schools aren't going to schedule the Big 10. We are the best and baddest in wrestling but not too keen to wrestling our own with Missouri and Oklahoma with no or limited tournaments. Minor sports are littered with solid schools not in the Big 10 or SEC.

Yes but beat the Big 10 champ to get there.

Not last. They'll get a team in with the 12 team playoff.
8 Game Conference Schedule - CFP
Posted by ChiTownJ on 12/3/23 at 8:36 am
Heard there is talk about changing the CFP selection criteria next year. #4 is the new criteria.
1. Championships won
2. Strength of schedule
Head-to-head competition (if it occurred)
3. Comparative outcomes of common opponents (without incenting margin of victory)
4. Preference for more in-conference games
Supposedly #4 is to avoid a loss which increases strength of schedule for all teams in the conference. Heard this may be brought up this year to put Texas in over Georgia or Bama.

If Texas wins, are they a SEC team? They lose, a Big 12 team?
Heads I win, tails you lose.

They aren't in the SEC yet. This is ACC vs Big 12.
Depends on the spin. A good many would have counted OU and UT wins to the SEC tally and losses to the Big 12.

OU has been in the same conference with some of the Big 12 schools for over 100 years. The Texas courtesy of one year wouldn't give them much time.
re: 8 team SEC playoff - how it gets done

This is beyond dumb. If Sankey says the Hell with everybody else and goes with an all SEC post season, is this going to affect other sports? The rest of the conferences will say fine, enjoy your own basketball, swimming, volleyball all SEC tournaments too.

The conference appears split on a format ahead of welcoming its two new members. We go inside the debate, plus the pros and cons of each.

OU and UT 1-1/2 years ago, "Greg, you sure the playoffs going to 12 teams? If it stays at 4 or goes to 8, we might as well stay in the Big 12."
Sankey, "Guaranteed."
Oops. This is just a Sankey posturing trick, and Thamel is dumb enough to not see through it or owes Sankey a nugget to publish this.

Ok here's how it was explained to me by a friend who is still on a board at OU.
The new big12 will need a media contract obviously and they will get one from ESPN. ESPN's first demand to play ball is that they release OU and Texas.
So this expansion by the big12 is less about screwing OU and Texas as it is about the big12 and ESPN leveraging each other.
TLDR: If they expand before next season expect OU and Texas in the SEC next season.
Heard ESPN and the Big 12 are working on a slight bump in revenue to the incoming teams than they are making now in exchange for the Big 12 dropping their potential lawsuit against ESPN. No mention of ESPN requiring Big 12 to release OU and Texas from their contract.

November games are cold enough that only liquor keeps me staying the game. I'm no weatherman but February is much colder than November. Maybe I'll go to the last game in March in the 8 game season. What a joke.

20% is better than 0%. Thanks a lot Warren.

re: Do you see now how much drama Texas has?

I offer a different viewpoint. Perhaps the LSU players were used to a 68°F locker room and because Texas's was at 72-73°F, it appeared the AC wasn't working that well?
