I'm just trying to come up with the best way to make the playoff for the Big 12 and the way I'd like to see the conference go is the best way for that to happen.
Did OU not make the CFP the last two years?

Oklahoma is potentially going to the playoffs for the fourth year in a row. Going to an 8 game conference schedule for a 10 team conference is stupid.
OU needed help most of those years too whereas there is no question ACC is getting in and SEC had two teams in and potentially get two in again. How does the B1G and Pac 12 feel about their nine game conference schedules?
9 game conference schedules are stupid if you are trying to make the playoffs each year. You can do it but there is usually a lot of sweating going on and hoping things fall your way.
KSU will have fan support, I don't think OSU will.I see it as
Oklahoma - Sugar
Baylor - Alamo
Texas - Camping World
Oklahoma State - Texas Bowl
Iowa State - Liberty
Kansas State - Cheez it
That's probably true...but the reality is we haven't played to that level most of the year. So, we get what we'll get. We have no room to complain if the Liberty Bowl invites us. Our team gets to practice for another month. Very valuable for players playing next year!Because I've been to the Liberty Bowl and it's a joke that this team is relegated to Memphis again. This program is so much better than that right now.

What years did they need help?
Tired of seeing the whiners in here about lack of quality wins. Schedules are made way in advance and with Iowa in non conf and a round robin big 12 schedule you have to schedule light in those other non conference games. Also ISU can't control how other big 12 teams do. At least this program is at a point that we do what we need to do in beating the teams beneath us. Our losses we were all competitive in and our worst game was a loss by 10 where the FG to make it 10 was late in the game.
Getting Tennessee in Memphis lines up with what we usually get in the post seasonCollege Football News:

ISU has the fans but will lower bowls think they are wavering with a disappointing end to the year?
My guess
Alamo-Baylor/Oklahoma loser
Camping-Texas
Texas-KState (based on season ending win over ISU)
Liberty-Okie State(haven’t had them lately)
Cheez-it- ISU
A lot of variables could come into play. Tbh I only feel confident on is the Alamo.
I had a heck of a time at the Liberty Bowl two years ago and would go back in a second. Just like I did in San Antonio last year.
It’s a meaningless exhibition football game - some people put way too much emphasis on them.

Big 12 left out 2014
2015 - fine
Big 12 left out 2016
2017 Thank you Iowa for beating Ohio St and Ohio St beating Wisky in Big 10 title game. Wisky fell from 3 to 6 after that loss. 2 SEC teams made it in 2017 thanks to 8 conference games.
2018 Thank you Alabama for beating Georgia in the SEC title game or there would have been 2 SEC teams again. Notre Dame also made it in 2018 with only 12 data points. I am not advocating to take away the Big 12 Championship, I just think it is dumb that the Big 12 gives itself a lower probability of making the playoff. As long as other conferences can get teams in by dodging others, the Big 12 should too.
