Β Point is, having the game is a great thing for the conference. Just bc Texas wins doesn't change that. If anything, it makes it even better. It increases the chance of having 2 teams in a NY6 Bowl.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, like really really sure?Β Now, I get it: you're feeling pretty good about your chances. And why not? OU's defense is horrible. But have you thought it through?

Lobo97 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Everyone complained about how weak the B12 was for being the only conference without a title game. Now they have one, and people want to complain that it's pointless.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnβt complain.Β The Big 12 Champion without the CCG played just as many conference games as the SEC Champion and ACC Champion.Β I have said it was stupid from day 1. They made this decision because Ohio State was chosen over TCU and Baylor. Ohio State will be chosen out of those 3 regardless if there is a CCG or not.

Hmm, I don't remember complaining...Β but it's possible, I suppose.Β I think I'm more cheesed off by the mismanagement of conference leadership in general. But I could take or leave the CCG. It doesn't bother me. And why should it? We've won 11 conference titles, and the last three CCGs. I don't mind playing a plus-1.

Lobo97 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Here's the thing, without a CCG, I'm not so sure OU is in the playoff.
