Anybody have thoughts on this? I like the conference at 10 and like the additional revenue of a ccg too. Sorry if already posted.

The Big 12 had 4 compelling games on the last weekend versus one for the SEC, PAC, etc. The extra money split 12 ways (assuming we have to add 2 teams to have it) is chump change. I like having to play everyone. It is unique.

Now we need everyone in the conference to step up and play at least one meaningful OOC game for conference respect. We (conf) got bagged on pretty good for our OOC and the Bowl results will just reinforce it heading into next year. If the Conf is really as good or better than the SEC as many here suggest, we shouldn't fear playing top ACC and B1g teams OOC.

Couldn't agree more, and I think we'll see more marquee OOC games with the playoff. More people will schedule like us and the Oklahoma schools and less like KSU, etc.

7-5 wisconsin ruins another bowl - thank you Conference Championship Game.

Also, you run the risk of an undefeated conference champion getting knocked out of the BCS championship game by a four loss also ran.

Yes it was Wisconsin's fault OSU and PSU are on probation. And the Rose Bowl was soooo boring.

[sub]I sure hope that the application for a championship game is because we have explored Clemson and Fla. St. as expansion partners and that they have said no. Best case would be the added revenue of the Big XII Champ Game and stay at 10. Not sure of the revenue numbers per conference, but one would think this would put us right behind the Big 10 in revenue per team. [/sub]

If everyone plays each other what's the point of a CCG?

I imagine they are doing it so that they can dump one conference game and go back to 8 conference games and 4 noncons. You'd play everyone but one conference member. Seems like a waste of time. The NCAA has already rejected the 10 team conference championship game for the Big Ten and Pac. They're not going to say yes to the Big 12.

The Big Ten shares a portion of gate receipts as well, doubt we can top their revenue sharing model.
