[QUOTE="wbgvwbgv, post: 129444630, member: 1417056"] . . . . . . . . There is nothing mysterious about what the Big 12 would do. It would have the top two teams face off in a title game. There is nothing mysterious about what the Big Ten prefers the Big 12 do. Have two five-team divisions, so that an 11-1, third-ranked Oklahoma might be playing an 8-4, unranked West Virginia instead of a top-15 OSU, Baylor or TCU. "We don't want to play two five-team divisions then have the potential of everyone else has the two best teams in one division,” Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. "We don't think we ought to be forced into that sort of thing." Delany said the Big Ten’s amendment really was to halt quick voting on the proposal and start discussions. The vote is scheduled to be taken Jan. 13-16 at the NCAA convention in San Antonio. Each of the 10 Division I-A conferences has a vote, but the Power-5 votes count double. "Our original premise was it ought to be completely deregulated and conferences ought to come to their own conclusions of how they decide their own championship," Bowlsby said. "I continue to believe that, but not everybody agrees."
