This just confirms that the committee says that conference championships matter and that the Big 12 needs to get back to 12 teams and have a championship game. Cincinnati, BYU, Colorado St and Memphis could be the real winners today.

I mean, there are teams out there to add.

They should expand now. Or at least clarify their tie-breaker rules, which are a joke.

They need to either expand or not rely on the CFB playoff rankings to determine their champion. Should've claimed Baylor as champ with a win against KSU and they would probably have them in there.

I'm sure they will, but this happened because nobody gives a shite about baylor or TCU. There's a ton of money/ratings involved here. This doesn't happen to OU or UT.

Without a doubt. It's 2011 all over again. They're getting killed because their name brand programs are down.

Most of these teams are horrible additions.

BYU can't just join to the Big 12 either with the amount of games that have in place. They add the Utah market and no recruiting grounds.

Memphis is eternal garbage at football.

Colorado St doesn't add much and they just lost their coach to Florida.

Cinci is the only decent choice.

If you read into Long's answers, he's saying the B12 setup is a huge impact.

OSU was able to "play in a 13th game against a highly ranked opponent" and "the committe was given co-champs, so that's what they had to deal with".

I'm with him. If they didn't want to expand before you bet your arse they're rethinking that stance.

Seriously, at the very least, Cincinnati should be getting that invite today. The other schools are up for debate, but Cincy should be jumping for joy.

They are talking about the Big 12 needs a championship game on ESPN, but don't you have to have 12 for that to happen?
