[QUOTE="gofor2, post: 3098284, member: 72131"] I've watch this sport for a long time and it wasn't until the SEC commish became the BCS leader that one conference started to dominate the upper tier bowl games. There was always an ebb and flow to things prior to that, with no conference dominating a decade. That's disappeared. I'm convinced the initial SEC build up was made possibly by their scheduling strategy. *4 creampuffs in the OOC, play one of those in November which amounts to a scrimmage/bye week. *Play only 8 conference games a year, which gives them 6-7 [I]less [/I]losses as a whole vs. conferences that play 9 games. This is a huge advantage that never really gets discussed. It means you are sending as many as 4 more teams to bowl games, which often means more money, more exposure and more pull with recruits. Send half your conference to bowl games, because all you have to do is go 2-6 in conference with 4 OOC wins to be eligible (remember those OOC games are usually against creampuffs). *Rarely leave your state to play an OOC game. *Make sure those bowl games are closer to your school /fanbase and make other teams travel across the country to play in them. The committee has already shown they don't care that we play 9 conference games, so there is no point in keeping it. Right off the bat, the Big 12 is handing its conference members [I]5 extra guaranteed losses a year.[/I] 5. Go pick just about any 5 teams in the Big12 and add 1 win to their win total and remove 1 conference loss and see if that changes bowl eligibility and bowl projections. The Big12 and all other conferences need to ditch this 9th conference game stuff and schedule like the SEC. [/QUOTE]
