Redux

Shocker the ND guy wouldn't be on board with having to play a 13th game like every other FBS level team that has a playoff shot.

Waffle Something?!?!!??!! IT'S WAFFLE CRISP AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!

Merry Xmas all ye Husker fans!

I'm not disagreeing that the GOR makes it hard, it does. But it's not that black and white. If OU and Texas just up and left, the chances of the Big 12 staying at 8 are slim to none. There are 2 scenarios at this point. A) Remaining 8 try to add 2-4 teams, likely from the Mountain West. This could work well with keeping their Power 5 status IF they can keep the core 8 together and attempt reversing the league with the likes of Boise, Fresno, BYU maybe. But really what would happen... B) The remaining 8 panic and begin accepting stupid invites like Kansas to the ACC, Okie State to the SEC, Texas Tech to the Pac 12, Kansas State without Snyder just closes up shop and calls it a good run (I wish). The conference folds. The remaining 8 would never have the wherewithal to not stab each other in the back to do what's best for the group.

My understanding is the GOR isn't as concrete if the conference is compromised. Losing Power 5 status would be compromising. I could be wrong about that. It doesn't matter though. An 8 team league stands zero shot of remaining in the Power 5x they would have to add 2 teams to replace. And who the hell would join that dumpster fire besides scrub programs?

It's not. The Big 12 would almost assuredly lose Power 5 status which would affect the GOR anyways.

People forget that the GOR is only binding if there is a conference left standing. Without those two....there isn't.

Texas comes to our home, changed everything around, steals our girlfriend and pushes us out. Now they are going to bring our ex to our new house and try to be our roommate?! Why can't we avoid these dicks?

Oklahoma, Kansas. That's it. No more, no less, no Texas.

You are correct sir

I like this, actually had a similar note in there originally. Problem with it is the rankings can be manipulated. I would prefer it be something like top 15 and only if they have 1 or 2 losses MAX.
