@OU_Football it's time to leave the Big12..

Sorry but I have to laugh at people who don't realize that Texas and Oklahoma are working together

But, as you have posted endlessly on the Memphis board, the departure of Cincy for the B12 is still imminent, right?

They were , not yet

I think this is great, the B12 will play it's way out of the playoff every year. It'll be a rematch anyhow, ratings will dip. None of us eastern people really belong in the B12 anyhow, it was just the only possible tangible solution.

It's always tough to beat the same team twice in one year.

Imagine the meltdown when an undefeated Big 12 team gets taken down by team #2, who regrouped and snuck by them.

The PAC abstained.

I'm glad we voted no.

The vote didn't matter but its always good to be the one that doesn't give a ****.

Well it's good news for the AAC.

Maybe those MWC douches will stay away now... with their claims that their league looks more desirable because our teams are more desirable. lol

B12 gets what it wants (Texas)
ACC does not get what it went for in deregulation.

???? Huh?

10 conferences, only 9 votes cast. That doesn't make sense.

See post 5 above. PAC abstained.

It's a do-over. A mulligan game.

It's as bad as playing a conference mate in a bowl game. Or playing a conference mate OOC.

There's just no good reason for it.

Yeah but that happens in other leagues with divisions anyway. Since the PAC 12 began their championship games, they've had rematches every single year except for the first one.

That will come back to hurt them, more than help.

Yeah, but the point of a round-robin is that it has the feel of a playoff on its own.

Rematches actually mean something in a divisional alignment because you're pitting one champion against another.

They are both gauntlets with unique parameters.
