So, is the B12 safe for another year or two?

[4down20]

So winning the Sugar Bowl last year meant a national championship for UCF, and I guess now this year it means 4 loss Texas also should have made the playoffs?

 

[7Samurai13]

The thinking was that they were DOMINATED by a Texas team that would have had no business being in the Playoff. The same team that was defeated by Oklahoma in the B12 Championship...

No one here said that. Texas has no shot at the playoffs. Three loses, one to a dreadful Maryland who didn’t have their head coach, dealing with the death of a teammate, and was sub .500. OSU would have gotten in over that resume.

several million away ... not a million

Power Five conference revenue: Pac-12 lags Big 12, in addition to SEC and Big Ten

That's without the big 12 tier 3 money. Every other conference has some sort of network and adds that money, the big 12 owns their own tier 3 rights and sell it off individually. Not sure if mizzou could make up the 7mil difference on the open market, but the gap isn't that wide.

Nobody said that. We using the Sugar Bowl as evidence that Oklahoma DID belong. Not that TEXAS did...

Safe until the GOR expires on June 30, 2025.

Enjoy it for 6.5 more years. When it happens the conference will either be gutted or it will finally add at least 4 teams.

Conference GOR expirations:
--------------------------------
B1G - '22-'23
PAC -'23-'24
BigXII - '25-'26
SEC - '33-'34
ACC - '35-'36
SEC Tier I w/CBS - '23-'24

2026 is the deadline and 2022 is when something might happen. I wouldn't be surprised to see the B1G and/or PAC extend for 3 and 2 years respectively in an anticipatory move as many of the smaller fish in the Big XII wouldn't be able to shoulder a financial burden.

um didnt Texas come in with basically the same thing just lost their conference championship game that would have given them a shot at the playoff?
next excuse please

Same thing happened to TCU in '14. TCU had every right to be in the playoff and they got snubbed. What did TCU do? Rather than bitch and whine about being snubbed, all they did was go out and embarrass the ever living shit out of the SEC's #1 scoring defense by routing Ole Miss and making it look easy. TCU clearly deserved to be in the playoff in '14 without a doubt.

Baylor was snubbed as they should have been the sole conference champ, not TCU.

 

[Wishbone]

It wouldn't hurt anything for y'all to actually win a playoff game at some point tho.

Stop it. Without Bama, the SEC doesn't even sniff a playoff spot.

The Big 12 just went 3-1 vs the Sec in their bowls.

One true champion my ASS

That's cool.

I remember watching that Baylol/TCU game.

Baylol won at home, on a last second kick, that was granted by a last quarter ref trick or two.

TCU MIGHT have beat anyone that year in the post-season. They had it all.

That’s fine and dandy but they didn’t win the game they should have. They weren’t the conference champ despite what the Big12 was trying to do in sneak two teams into the playoffs.

Agreed, they didn't win the game they should have.

Hell...ESPN and the SEC try to do it every fucking year. I don't blame the Big XII for trying. On paper they were co-champions I believe, as the league didn't have solid tie-breakers in place?

The BigXII has 2 of the 3 teams worth a Billion Dollars.

 

[SignalBama]

The SEC in general has been bad in the non-playoff Sugar Bowl in recent memory. The consolation game of the conference in the new College Football. List of results this decade.

Ohio State 31 Arkansas 26
Louisville 33 Florida 23
OU 45 UA 31
Ole Miss 48 oSu 20
OU 35 Auburn 19
Texas 28 UGA 21

The SEC has only won 1 of the last 6 Sugar Bowls they have been involved in when it wasn't a Playoff game.

Any word yet on the detail of Riley's new deal? Curious where he'll be compared to Jimbo, Harbaugh, et al....

True, but Bama, and tOSU didn't win the game they were supposed to and still made the playoff without winning their conference. TCU lost on a last second FG in Waco on an awful call and wound up being co-champs. They were a better team than Baylor at the end of the year and easily one of the 4 best and proved they belong after going out and humiliating the SEC's best scoring defense and made it look very easy. Just saying......

Obviously they weren’t “easily one of the 4 best” or else they would have been in the playoffs. And you can’t use bowl games as proof of anything considering it was not evidence available at the time.
