Sorry for the copy and paste guys but till i get this damn thing in to get fixed im stuck with what i have here. This cam from Yahoo and Pat ( DICKWAD ) Forbe.

BIG 12 MAY LAUGH LAST

Despite season-long bloviating from Analyst World about the lack of a championship game hurting the Big 12, which league is best positioned to potentially get two teams in the playoff? The Big 12, with Baylor (9) and TCU (10).

As of Tuesday morning, the Horned Frogs look like the leading candidate to move into the bracket in place of exiting Mississippi State. The Bears should be right behind them – but aren’t, thanks to the infatuation with an Ohio State team that cannot match quality wins or quality losses with Baylor. Still, both Big 12 teams have a chance to get in if they take care of business Saturday and get some help from upsets of Florida State, Oregon and/or Alabama.

The criticism of the Big 12 for not having a title game lacks merit. The league plays a nine-game, round-robin schedule, so nobody has padded its record by dodging a conference heavyweight. Then there is this consideration: If you split the conference into two five-team divisions, North and South, guess who the champions would be? Baylor in the South and Kansas State in the North. And guess who plays each other Saturday in Waco? Yes, Baylor and Kansas State.

The conference has created its share of controversy this week. Baylor hired a PR firm to help plead its case to the media – one of the PR reps reached out to The Dash via email asking if there was interest in interviewing Baylor athletic director “Ian McCall.” Perhaps Baylor could have hired a firm more familiar with the school, or at least one who knows that the AD’s last name is McCaw, not McCall. And then there was the report that the Big 12 will not name a long champion in event of a tie at the top of the standings – it will have co-champions. This from the league that spent all season running ads touting it as the home of “one true champion.”

Despite that, Bob Bowlsby could emerge from this first-ever playoff scrum as the big winner in the Commissioner’s Club. His league has the best chance of any to end up with half the playoff field.
