[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129461105, member: 1428007"] Bowlsby: [B]"We have fewer data points," Bowlsby said in an interview this week. "We have 12 and if you play a championship game you have 13 games. It seems to me we have to acknowledge we're somewhat at a disadvantage and that some years we can overcome the disadvantage and some years, perhaps, we won't be able to."[/B] ..... That brings us back to the debate the Big 12 has faced ever since shrinking from 12 teams to 10 during two rounds of realignment -- to expand back to a dozen teams or not.
