[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129478318, member: 1428007"] You are correct in that a CCG with 10 teams is not a slam dunk: [I]excerpt: How the Big 12 would decide who plays the game would still have to be determined. Bowlsby said the new rule only requires the "top two" teams. Selling the idea to each Big 12 school may not be a slam dunk. Football coaches may not like the guaranteed rematch of a regular-season game. For example, this past season, [URL='http://abcnews.go.com/topics/news/oklahoma.htm']Oklahoma[/URL] and Oklahoma State, the top two teams at the end of the regular season, could have played in a title game just a week or two after the Sooners beat the Cowboys in the Bedlam rivalry showdown. "That's hard to swallow to say now you gotta go beat them again to be the conference champion. What if they split?" Bowlsby said. "There will be some years we'd be glad to not have a championship game, and some years when we wish we had a 13th game." At Texas, one of the league's traditional powers hasn't won a title since 2009, President Greg Fenves and new athletic director Mike Perrin issued a joint statement saying the change "opens up a lot of possibilities that we need to look at closely."
