Where's a fan revolt?

I just hope this is the last year of automatic BCS spots for crappy conferences with no championship game. The Big 12 and Big East are completely undeserving of an automatic BCS game...glad to hear the remnants of each conference might be getting together.

Picker, I think voters will be torn with a 1 or 2 loss SEC champion if there are two undefeated's out there. If you're a voter, you almost have to put an SEC team in the NC game.

Pick-man, given that aTm is gone to a conference that our two state schools won't be in, is there a better prospect for a "major Texas connection" for our schools than a pod with Texas and Tech in the Pac?

With MO likely following Aggie to the SEC, do you really prefer a watered-down conference with Baylor, Houston, TCU, Rice and the remnant of the Big XII?

Tell me you're not messin' with us when you protest us four going to the Pac.

Sigh. 80th verse, same as first.

Recruiting in Texas would not dry. We've all been over this. It especially wouldn't dry if both Tech and UT ended up in the same conference as OU and OSU. Unfortunately, prideful and egotistical Texas would rather go down with the faulty ship it designed than admit it screwed the pooch and swim to safer waters.

Second, if the three way tie worked as the Picker explained, OSU would be the conference champ. The early loss to A&M would be beneficial as OSU would have time to climb back into the top 7 or 8. A&M's loss to OU would put A&M back behind OSU. Then in the finale, OSU beating OU would have the Pokes leapfrogging them in the final standings.

Boise State is not a contender. Did anyone even watch that game against Toledo? They looked extremely suspect. If Kinne was available this weekend, I'd bet on Tulsa at least covering the spread if not winning outright.

@JCD1978: Good riddance.

@Soko: Don't confuse the Picker with reality. His world is located under a foot of sand and he likes it that way.

@Tulsandn: It's all about balance. Having that many great teams in one conference simply isn't fair to all those teams.

Quick! What bowl game does the 5th place SEC team go to? OU could very well be playing in it. Where would OSU be? Sounds awful to me.

Besides, do you really want to be lumped in with a bunch of backwood fans chanting "S-E-C-! S-E-C!" after any win? Count me out.

Mike...really?

If four different Big 12 teams won the last 5 national championships...you don't think every backwoods fan in the Big 12 would be chanting?

love 918, they would be chanting their team's name...not the conference name.

The SEC thinks the Civil War is still going. It's them versus the rest of the United States. I'm not joking.

I want no part of that.
