re: Why Do People Think the Conference Championship Game Doesn't Matter?

Why do people think they do? It's not like Ohio State played an extra conference game than TCU or Baylor. They already played 9 conference games. OSU was just catching up.
The conference championship game only exists for one reason, money. Now that conferences have expanded they also serve a legit purpose but the Big 12 doesn't need one because they already play everyone and it's already been settled on the field.
It's just an easy "out" for the committee when splitting hairs because there are enough people dumb enough to buy it.

who knows, people love to overreact on emotions.
If Baylor/TCU went undefeated theyd be in the playoff without a championship game.

It doesn't matter, they are risking an extra loss. A risk that TCU and Baylor are not taking.

Wrong.
If the BIG 12 had a championship game in 2011, Oklahoma State would have been in the NC instead of Bama.
They made it for money, but now more than ever, it adds value to your resume.

The Big 12 plays 9 conference games. This is a dumb argument. You are essentially arguing over an extra win over potentially an FCS school or a bottom of the barrell FBS school.
The Big 12 schedule is fine. The issue is that the committee should not have had TCU above Baylor in the first place and this wouldn't have even been a talking point.
Oklahoma St. was screwed in 2011 because they went 8-1 in their conference and Bama went 7-1 in the SEC. This is just a bunch of bull shite and their shouldn't be a fricking committee to begin with. The issue with all the National Championship selection process Pre-BCS, BCS, and now post BCS has poll voters/human eye test bias.
Take conference champions and the BCS computers. Run the formulas and have it spit out the top 4 conference champs seeded for a 4 team playoff.
