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

Exactly! A Big XII CG likely would've made no difference.

And still wouldn't necessarily fix anything. If Baylor wins, they beat the same team twice...big deal. If TCU wins, does that mean enough to overtake Ohio State?
