The only reason we have a chance right now because there are five conferences. I'm not sure I'm following ... how would there have only been 4 conferences? Only difference between that and what we have now is there would be no AAC, right? Other than UCF, everyone else would have been still in C-USA. Or am I missing something? I think the point is, without Texas and Oklahoma, the BE/B12 merged conference would have still been demoted, just as the AAC was. The rumour of the day had TX and Tech, OK and Okie State all going to the PAC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville, TCU, and Cincy would have been power teams from the big East, and as much as I begrudge them, UCF too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't care about any of that. If they did they would have expanded already. The hope would be at some point the BIG 12 has to at least add 2 more teams to get to 12. Only thing with that is I read an article that said if the Big 12 was forced to have a championship game they would file a request to the NCAA to be able to have a championship game with just 10 teams. Which if that went through the BIG 12 might never expand. Least not anytime soon. I think the league will probably wait a few years to see how this playoff deal works out. If you're a USF fan I would root like heck for all the BIG 12 teams to get leap frogged or jumped at the end of the year so they miss the playoffs. Therefore, if that petition is denied and they have to have 12 teams for a championship game they will be forced to add at least 2 teams. In the mean time USF/UCF really need to climb up and win a lot of fball games to get themselves and keep themselves relevant in the national scene. I'm not sure USF or UCF would be theri first choices but, if they keep winning big games on the field they will at least have a shot and must be considered.
