Don't know about all this "who's the better conference" smack but TCU is going to be a top tier Big 12 team as long as Patterson is around.

I would agree that in a couple of years TCU can consistently be a 2-3 loss BIG 12 team which could make them top tier. TO me the biggest issue with the BIG 12 now is that now going to 10 conferennce teams its gonna be very difficult to get a team in the NCG because of the round robin.

Compare that to the SEC where you have teams like UGA and Bama who haven't played the top 3 from the other division before the conference championship. I don't find it coincidental that those 2 are playing for the SEC title. I'm convinced that if you were to take the 4 worst teams out of the SEC and play a round robin no team in that conference would have less than 2 losses and likely would never get to a MNG.
