So when the Big 12 has a season where the champion finishes 9-0 in conference and then there is a 4 way tie for 2nd place with all of the teams at 5-4, do you still think that the team that went 9-0 and beat all 4 2nd place teams should have to do the rematch?


It happened in the SEC in 2001. A 8-3 LSU, IN A REMATCH, knocked Tennnessee out of the national title game.

yep, proving that Conference Champ games are stupid and diminish the regular season.

Would you not let teams in the playoff if they did not play in the CCG?

ETA: While LSU-UT was a rematch, it is not guarenteed in the SEC. In the Big 12, they do play all 9 other teams already.

two teams from different divisions that happen to get a rematch is way different that guaranteeing a rematch in a title game every single year.

When you play every team in your conference there is literally no legitimate reason to have a conference title game.
