P6 is my preferred outcome...

1st choice ACC

2nd choice B10

3rd choice P6 with = pay to ACC/B12

4th B12

yeah, I know I live on a distant fantasy planet, but hey we are past 1000 and still no expansion. But man regular games with Miami and FSU, seeing Ville shine and being able to play them, Pitt, and Cuse regularly again as well. Getting to play Clemson regularly, if any ways possible that is the conference that we fit in, for travel for fans for competition.

"Overall, the Big 12 is 3-10 against the Power 5, the American and the MAC and 16-12 against the rest of college football. That includes the FCS."

Geesh, what a stat.

Maybe we should be inviting Big 12 teams to the American.

I like this comment:

 

"The record should be even worst[sic]: sorry but OU should not be ranked. No team that is 1-2 should be ranked. Period. That goes for Ole Miss too btw."

I agree for the most part. It's because some teams start with an automatic amount of credibility while others have to earn it. There's already talk of Houston possibly dropping because they're schedule has no tough games until Louisville. If they were in the Big 10 or SEC that wouldn't happen. As far as the commenter's point, it's completely logical to still be ranked if you the team lost to two teams in the top 6. But this early on who knows how legitimate those rankings are?

I think the B12 is in panic mode now. The week before, they were doing "business as usual." After both OU and Texas lost, they are in trouble.

If they were ever worried about the possibility of their conference being passed over for the playoffs, now they are beyond worried. I guarantee it!

Sooo...

Their number one priority going forward is to make sure they don't miss the playoffs again (if they do indeed don't get in this year).

Expansion is their only answer. And they will want teams that can help the football image of the B12.

Houston is the flavor of the week. And then they will have to consider adding one more team or three more teams. Adding four total teams looks like a very possible move for them.

There is no way in hell they are not going to expand now. Their hands are forced.

We need to beat FSU. This is going to be an important victory for us.
