I've never really been a big part of the conference expansion threads, and I've been just fine with the 10 team conference, but heard something on ESPN College Gameday yesterday that made me feel it's finally time to add two teams.
As they were talking about teams that could face Alabama in the NC, one of the analysts said Baylor may very well be the second best team in the nation, but if it comes down to Baylor, Florida State, and Ohio State, Baylor will not be considered because there isn't a Big 12 championship game, and FSU and OSU will have more recent, better wins to make the BCS likely pick between those two teams, and I think the majority figured it would be OSU, should all three of those teams go undefeated.
Of the three, Baylor has the second toughest schedule (OSU has an extremely easy schedule...easier than Baylor somehow)
I think Florida State should get the shot at the NC should the three go undefeated, but IF they eventually fall, Baylor deserves a shot at the NC so much more than OSU. But if they can't go because they didn't get a 13th win, does that make the big-shots of the Big XII try and bring in two more teams? Or do you think it won't matter, since we will be going to a playoff-system shortly?
