It's 20% about their champion getting screwed out of the national title game two straight years


They shouldn't have lost, bottom line. When you lose (especially games you should have won like OkieState vs. Iowa State) you run the risk of getting "screwed" because of the beauty contest system we have. Not sure the 4 team playoff will help that. Sucks for them but I don't really feel sorry for KSU or OSU.

OSU had the clearly better resume in 2011 and I think that was the closest margin between the #2 and #3 teams in BCS history, so maybe an extra game against KSU would have helped.

Yeah, they should not have lost to Iowa State, but maybe the team that got in over them should have won their division and beaten more than 3 FBS teams with a winning record.

"they shouldn't have lost" is how we keep getting crappier and crappier schedules. But I digress. The issue here is that the Big 12 champion has lost an arbitrary beauty contest in two straight years to another one loss team. A CG would help them avoid that scenario. It wouldn't solve it, but it would help.
