I couldn't find an original thread regarding realignment but wanted to get some thoughts on something...
If the Big 12 had decided to go with divisions for the start of this years football season, I think our chances at a Big 12 title game would be a real possibility, depending how divisions were set up.
Not sure if they would have done it geological or what but,,
ISU, KSU, KU, OSU, OU ???
I'm not sure, but having a tiebreaker of OU would have helped.
I'm just speculating here and trying to have a little fun with a "What If"
If I remember right... when the Big 12 was kicking around the idea of divisions they were going to have the option to realign the league every couple of years to keep things balanced out.
I never really understood what the point of divisions was though. We already have a round robin schedule, so really the divisions would be pretty pointless. The conference made the right call with just taking the top 2 teams.
