Is now the time for the Big 12 to add a Title game?

After seeing TCU fall in the ranking and their last 2 games against 6-5 Texas (although an improved Texas team) and Iowa St, they do not have control f their own destiny. IMO adding a Championship game would give them a better chance to get in.

I know they have said they are happy at 10, but if I am the Big 12 I would be a bit frustrated. Need a Championship game

Every team plays every other one, it's a lot better system than the SEC where it's the luck of the draw cross division. Would they cut one of the games?

This cuts both ways and the championship game can frick you over, too. If someone were undefeated in the round robin, there would be no issue. It's just a fluky set of circumstances that everyone likes TCU's resume more, but Baylor beat them head-to-head. It will be funny if the committee punts on the B12 debate by just taking Ohio State.

It's cool they all play, but even if they weren't screwed out of the playoff, they're missing out on revenue other P5's aren't from the event.

UT v. Huskers 09 was a crazy game. Seems like forever ago.

It sure would've helped Oklahoma State back in 11.

They should have gone after Louisville with everything when they had the chance...they messed up badly.

Not having a title game cost Okie state in 2011 (irionically if OU had won that game all the "experts" said a 1 loss Oklahoma would jump Bama, but not OSU ) and cost KSU from even being in the discussion in 2012. So it would not surprise me if the lack of a conference championship game costs TCU. However, I think Ohio State jumps MSU at the last minute nobody that matters (ESPN, ad ppl, etc) want to see a one loss non SEC champ MSU over a one loss big ten champ OSU.

Big 12 should add Cincy and BYU and be done with it.
