A 24 team playoff would help the Big 12.
With ail the two loss teams we will likely have, I’m not sure that a lot of Big 12 bids are a guaranteed this year.
I hope I am wrong about that.

BYU beating ND and then losing to UCF shows the ultimate parity. It is actually good for the B12. They will say BYU had a let down, but it mainly shows how difficult playing on the road can be. When UT, Georgia and Bama can all lose to unranked teams, that does not happen if there is no parity. We can be a Miami, and if Indian can win it all, anything can happen.

We would need Indiana level money to do what they did, I imagine.
But maybe we could be the true underdog.
Just not true…

I agree. We’re looking at 2 bids barring absolute madness. That’s honestly a bit disappointing given how good the league actually is. The expanded playoff gives our teams more opportunities to secure big wins and boost the perception of the league.

Ask the bajillion people that do here on a regular basis.
Subjectivity overload and nonsense threads give me a headache.

…and there is not parity in college football?
Who could even deny that one?
No don’t say.
Still not convinced?
There is a sugar daddy in West Texas. He is having a frantic tantrum episode because his minions lost to Cinci.
Yeah there is no more parity in college football.
Agreed! The parity in college football’s P4 is fun to watch every week. When Indiana wins a FB natty, its good for the game. There are great games to watch every week. I watch college football from 9 in the morning till well after midnight, and football Saturdays are my favorite time of the year.

Indiana has the largest college alumni base or they and is top 15 in revenue for athletics. they are the rich, just took them a while to get their act together.
Sure but prior to Cignetti they’d never won 10 games and had the worst win% of any P4 program. So they’re rich in the literal sense but not in terms of success.

I don’t agree that there is more parity in the P4 today.
Evidence doesn’t support the contention that there is.
Proof?
Every national champion in the NIL era has come from the two richest conferences (SEC and B1G), with the richest conference of all (the B1G) dominating the last three.
That’s not parity. That’s the rich getting richer.
NIL has allowed the richest conferences (P2) to widen their gap with the ACC and Big 12, and, based on the 3-73 record G6 schools have against the P4, has greatly widened the talent gap between the P4 and G6.
No “parity” there. The opposite, actually.
There may be more parity in the P2 or B1G than before (see Indiana), but LESS overall thanks to the widening gaps between the P2 and others, and between the P4 and G6.
Hey listen, I hope that I am wrong and that the Big 12 can win a football natty in this era.
But I haven’t seen it yet.
I really think Law97 should seek help counseling . If is becoming sad.
I find myself coming here less and less because of his non stop posting. Saying the same thing over and over!

Then why not put me on ignore?
Pretty simple solution.
If what I have to say truly bothers you that much, then why do you keep reading it?
Obviously you must be reading it, and in that regard, maybe you need counseling more than I do because you must be a masochist who enjoys reading stuff you don’t like.
Just sayin’!
Hey listen, I don’t post here any more now than I have at any other point since 1999. Not sure which board YOU have been reading during that time if you think so.
