I would argue it played a humongous role

But why? If teams are supposed to be judged objectively, what would a Big XII CG have accomplished last year?

A stronger game at the end of the year would've helped Baylor or TCU, though it's hard to say that win would've been better regarded over Ohio State vs Wisconsin.

Considering they were talking about "zipper divisions" to keep things balanced (i.e. intermix the weak north teams with the strong south ones), it's possible TCU would've been Baylor's paired opponent and would've been rematching them for the championship.

Possible divisions:

Texas -- OU
Baylor -- TCU
Texas Tech -- Ok State
K State -- Kansas
Iowa State -- West Virginia

nothing, just another chance for their best team to lose; wisconsin was also favored last year for the ohio state game (as i recall).

Big12 was extremely close to getting two teams in last season - how? by not playing a CG.

because it would have given Baylor another forum to show the committee they were deserving? Kinda like what OSU destroying Wisconsin did for them?
