[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129440981, member: 1428007"] The problem with not having a CCG is that not having that extra game drops the BIG 12 champion in the final results. So far it cost the league a championship bid the first year, and did not this year only because Stanford already had two losses and that will never be better than one. The conference can't continue to be waiting it out until the last weekend and hoping someone else slips up. With the Big Ten trying to stop CCG deregulation so that the BIG 12 can't have a divisionless league have a CCG--its probably not going to be possible to have a 10 team CCG anyway, unless the conference wants to create pointless divisions in a ten team league. Everyone with 10 teams will continue to play one another each year, so even if there were two divisions. Playing a CCG with ten teams just gives the conference a 50-50 shot to get knocked out of the playoffs via a rematch and you aren't likely to have the two best teams playing anyway. Expansion is the solution. [/QUOTE]
