The round robin schedule is killing the Big 12. They need a 12th team to pad their records a bit. It's statistically impossible for them to have six 10 win teams like the SEC did. Conference perception is what got Bama to two straight title games and cost consecutive Big 12 champions a national title shot. So its not insignificant.

A 12-team Big 12 probably sends Okie St to the title game last year and maybe KSU this year. Add Louisville and someone like Pitt. ASAP.

They did have 9 out of 10 bowl qualifiers...I concede the other, more important, big picture points.

Who do they get though?!?! They were to slow and incompetent and allowed massive amounts of red-tape and "addendum" exit fees to take place...with the 2014 "playoff" deadline approaching they might be forced into picking up some terrible patsies.

Not necessarily. It depends who the 11th and 12th teams are.

Had Colorado and Nebraska never left, Oklahoma State would have likely had to play in Lincoln against a team that beat them by 5 touchdowns the year before.
