Why Do People Think the Conference Championship Game Doesn't Matter?

Big 12 defenders are pissed TCU got passed by a team who risked their playoff spot by playing an extra ranked opponent (unlike TCU or Baylor).
But if conference championship games didn't matter, would you have been fine if Bama or Oregon lost yesterday but remained in the playoffs? If the extra game shouldn't help you, then it shouldn't hurt you either. Then, say yesterday you had #4 Bama vs #5 Mizzou, it wouldn't matter who would have won, because the conference championship game couldn't hurt you, and Bama automatically would have gone.
Until the Big 12 gets a championship game, they will continue to get fricked.

Surprisingly, a lot of Big 12 homers don't realize this.

Well put...
The Big 12 should have scrambled for a championship game. They didn't. Screw em.

Why do people think they do? It's not like Ohio State played an extra conference game than TCU or Baylor. They already played 9 conference games. OSU was just catching up.
The conference championship game only exists for one reason, money. Now that conferences have expanded they also serve a legit purpose but the Big 12 doesn't need one because they already play everyone and it's already been settled on the field.
It's just an easy "out" for the committee when splitting hairs because there are enough people dumb enough to buy it.
