That's my point

Baylor could eliminate those FBS games in ooc and replace them with p5 opponents

12 games total all vs p5 >
13 games total and 2 vs FBS

As such they do not need a conference cg.

And Ohio state is already doing that. So yes, the championship game is needed

Big 12 has to go to 12 & add a title game. There are only bad options to add, so what little prestige the conference has left will be obliterated.

Texas should go independent, OU should go to the SEC, and this conference should be nuked from orbit.

The Big XII isn't fighting to do anything... its teams are... why should their teams get punished by the CFP committee for something they have no control over?

Texas going independent would be a disaster. They need to get into the B1G or the pac 12

because it is what it is. They are in a POS conference and it's screwing them over but it doesn't change anything

Texas can survive going independent. It may be the only public school that could. As for the rest of the conference, the AAU and MWC would take them. Frick OU, leave them stranded begging for an SEC invite.

B1G would be a disaster. A conference stretching from New Jersey to Texas and having 16 or more teams? That's a setup for schism.

Oh and Nebraska would never agree to it.

no it couldnt. If it couldn't get even get its network up and running, going independent would no way in frick work. Look at how ND, the only school that was truly capable of being an independent in modern college athletics, is slowly starting to join the ACC

Are they really though? This isn't much different than their arrangement with the old Big East and they were never going to fully join that conference.

You don't think the ACC, Pac 12, or Big 10 would do a scheduling deal w/Texas?

the only conceivable way being an "independent" could work but should you even be considered a true independent then? Not to mention that ND was in the Big East for stuff like basketball

No what is idiotic is people not realizing that a Round Robin is a far superior way of determining a champion to the 2 division format.

Don't you think it is kind of stupid to have one with only 10 teams in the conference? A lot of OU fans think so.
