2. The Big 12 doesn't have a championship game. #2 is the biggest reason they're not in the playoff IMO. The conf. championship game is a risk/reward game.
I bet it wouldn't have mattered, but I could be wrong. If Baylor is given an extra win over Kansas State in the hypothetical B12CG:

School - winning % - opps w% opps opps w%
Ohio State .923 .571 .535
Baylor .923 .484 .529

Baylor's OOC really stabbed them in the cock.

Yeah, the no championship game thing is being overblown since it likely would not have mattered if they played Kansas St twice and it could have worked the exact opposite for them if any of the top four had lost their CGs.


It was certainly the OOC that hurt Baylor but it was also a worse blow than could have been predicted since Oklahoma St, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech were all down.

I keep seeing mention in other threads that Oklahoma or Texas wouldn't have had the same fortune as TCU or Baylor this year due to their names.
However, I tend to think a Texas or Oklahoma would have been criticized a hell of a lot more than Baylor with that same OOC schedule.
