[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129501365, member: 1428007"] Another tidbit which indicates that there were discussions on divisions in a future BIG 12: excerpt: Chicago-based Navigate Research gave ADs a presentation that ran the gamut of possibilities for the Big 12 as a 10-team league, a 12-team league, a 14-team league and even a 16-team league. The firm’s variations — some 40,000 of them, Bowlsby said — included a championship game, no championship game, an eight-game schedule, a nine-game schedule, and came up with percentages for making the College Football Playoff and even going undefeated. “They were able to show us comparisons on all of those,” Bowlsby said. “I don’t think you can make important decisions without that sort of data.” Maybe it’s a case of overthinking things. Data analysts can’t predict when a quarterback will sustain a concussion or when a free safety blows a coverage or when a fumble bounces out of bounds or stays inbounds. Those are usually the differences between a team going undefeated or not. But the data shouldn’t be ignored, either. Bowlsby said league ADs immediately asked presenters to configure everything again, with allowances for rivalries, two rivalries, and even three rivalries. “Probably ended up with maybe a half-dozen more that we wanted to have modeled,” Bowlsby said. “They’re gonna get back to us with some additional data. … We’re doing a deep dive on all this stuff and are intent on making very intelligent, very meaningful and reliable decisions.” [URL]http://www.tulsaworld.com/blogs/sports/johnehoover/john-e-hoover-big-s-bowlsby-relying-heavily-on-data/article_beb557d7-1d2e-5028-87ae-b2c105fc7a0a.html[/URL] [/QUOTE]
