[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129475938, member: 1500287"] Or Oklahoma also wins the rematch and is 12-1. Hopefully the other 4 conferences don't all finish undefeated and you still lose out. I think the 10 team CCG gets them an extra data point for a couple of years, if they elect to play it. They may still take their chances without one simply because they still have a chance to be in the playoffs by doing nothing. Nobody really knows what they will do. Obviously some schools don't want to expand. Among those who do want to expand there may be (so far) irreconcilable differences as to who they want to add. There may be some element that thinks an 8 team playoff is inevitable. If there is a chance of this happening over the next 6-10 years they may want to stand pat. There is probably some element that is convinced, or at least hopes that there is going to be some shift by Notre Dame, or the BIG10 or the SEC. Maybe Texas and Oklahoma will leave the conference. If they do, the BIG12 is probably out of the conversation for the playoffs anyway. Maybe one of them threatens to leave if the conference doesn't expand. Maybe the other threatens to leave if it does. You can call them dumb all you want but at the end of the day they have to accept compromise and take the route that the conference members can agree on, not the one that a handful of WVU fans think is a no-brainer.
