This 11/12/17 ranking looks like last week's ...
- Thread starter surly
- Start date
That would be a great match. I just don't see TCU being able to keep up on the scoreboard with Baker. TCU closes with TxT and Baylor. Can't see them losing.
This isn't going to be much of a TV draw period. This isn't going to be much of a stadium attendance draw either; it's going to look like a Jaguars versus 49er game in ATT&TJones stadium. This whole championship game idea is stupid....always has been....and it is all about television commercials.
What normal college football consumer is going to drive to Dallas knowing your team also has a bowl game in a few weeks?? Fly into Dallas? yeah, that's fun. I enjoy extra time around TSA employees. Sure, a few salespeople and realtors maybe. It's tax deductible!
This thing was concocted with the expectation that Tom Hermann will be going there a lot and some of the Tavern Texas fans will buy enough tickets to make it not embarassing and it will look ok on TV, with low angles hiding all the empty seats. They still get their Tom Steyer and Capitol One and Target commercials sold.
I got a secret to tell you: (shhhhh, don't tell anybody)...Alabama wins it all in the end!
I don't know. Attended a couple K-State championship games at Arrowhead. Stadium was packed as I recall. Lots of Sooner fans.

Widest spread is between 9 and 10. Ku really needs to move to Big East.

I loved watching Sproles run wild on OU in one of those games. Good stuff.
It was weird that in one Big 12 championship game, KSU blew the doors off of OU, and OU went to the MNC game. And in another, NU didn't even make it to the Big 12 championship game...and still went to the MNC game. Why the heck even play the CCG when you can get results like that?
Now we have the round robin format. I actually like the format - no team can hide from another team because of weak divisional alignments. At least when we had 12 teams, the champ game featured teams might not have played each other in the regular season. Of course, because of this current format, every team plays a grueling schedule. Definitely harder than any Big 10 or SEC team endures. We don't need another game.
