Next year will be different, as one of the top Big 12 teams comes over to the Big 10. It will shift the power quite a bit.
But with the exception of last year, the Big 12 has been a much better conference by and large. Especially at the top. Now, the bottom of the Big 10 may be a little better than Colorado, ISU, Baylor, and Kansas, but the Big 12 has normally had a team playing in the MNC game, and another that is a half of a step behind them.
Then by your logic being undefeated means everything. So if Northern Illinois, and let’s just throw a name out there any name doesn’t matter I’ll say Keokuk college of the performing arts is unbeaten and ISU beats them and they only have one loss then they should be in the top ten right because they beat two undefeated teams so that has to make them the best team out there. As a matter of fact AZ should be furious right now because again according to your logic they only have one loss and they aren’t ranked that high now tell me why? The more people try to say Nebraska is a top ten team the more they make the whole BCS look dumb. In fact I would say Nebraska at #7 exposes the BCS for the true joke it is. I’ve said all I’m going to about this because I’m sick and tired of seeing the name Nebraska on my screen if it wasn’t for the fact that Nebraska could wind up screwing the Hawkeyes out of a BCS because of their over hyped A$$ I could care less if they even exist or whether they are ranked #5,000 or #10 as long as it doesn’t hurt the Hawks then they will be exposed soon enough. On the topic of a playoff as was mentioned before the same BS system that created the BCS will still be in place so all you will get instead of an over hyped game you’ll get an over hyped series of games. It will still be the same teams year in and year out. The only difference is they will just try to say it’s more legit because it’s a “play off†system when in fact it’s no different then what they had before. Unless you can come up with a way to have at least half of the teams in college football play each other than a playoff is not anymore legit then the BCS and I’ll use the current polls to make the case. Right now Iowa would not make the playoffs but BSU, TCU, Nebraska, all would. No team from the Big Ten would make it this year. Now does that sound like a system that works?
