Texas held all the cards and took the easy route. With only 10 teams in the Big 12, no more championship game, all they have to do is beat Oklahoma every year and they are pretty much guaranteed a lucrative BCS game....Go to the Pac and they have to beat OU and USC every year....No fun.
Kind of glad it stayed that way though, really liked the Pac 10 the way it was, rather not have Colorado and Utah.

deep thought, that makes way to much sense, and way to simple... The only problem will be their powder puff schedule, might make it hard to get a number one ranking...

Now Pete Carrol is saying he thinks USC will come out looking good on the appeal. He is either a complete idiot for opening his mouth or knew nothing of what was going on with Bush. Hope he's right but I can't believe the NCAA would have slammed one of the premier programs in college football without pretty damning evidence.

Texas and OU should play every year at the end of the year like Michigan and Ohio State. They took the smart route. They stand to make millions every year. Who wouldnt do that? I say they get their tails out of their rear and add Utah or Boise or both and become a power house division. Right now the MW is a better division IMO as is the Pac-10. You have 2 schools that matter in the Big I guess 10 now and othe rthan that nobody cares about them. Oregon Oregon State USC Stanford and if that new coach up in washinton can trun it around are bette rthan anything that the big 12 of old had to offer.

Its how they rank in the start of the season. You never see a team out of the top 15 get to a BCS Bowl game. If they go 10-0 or 11-0 and are ranked lets says 5th to start the year and whip OU they are in. every year

That's actually a good idea, I guess the Oklahoma vs Ok. State, Texas vs Texas A & M takes precedent....for some reason. Oklahoma vs Texas is a much bigger game though for the rest of the world.

Is there some reason they can't do both? Down to 10 teams they can do it like the PAC has for years, you play every tream in the conference plus 3 OOC games.

Back in the day when A&M was good, that was a pretty serious game... (not that they were ever a top tier team. But they used to be ranked up there for lots of years when R.C. ran the show)

The Texas/OU game is as traditional as the Texas/Texas A&M game that occurs every year Thanksgiving Day. It's always the same week as the Texas State Fair, and used to be held at the Cotton Bowl (I think they moved it to JerryWorld now). When it comes to college football, tradition takes precendence over conventional logic and reasoning any day of the year.

Texas vs OU has had a bigger effect on the entire college football scenarios than most match-ups. 2 years ago when Texas Tech Beat Texas OU beat TT and Texas beat OU. It was insane figuring that out.

But both take a back seat to making a buck.

Exactly. Thats the exact reason Texas stayed. Money money money! I dont blame them. The New Big 10 old Big 12 should play 11 games a year. 8 games coming from the Big 10. Then the normal OOC games.

Good move. Now they need to decide how to split the conference.
I'd like to see them put Arizona, UCLA, Utah, Washington, Oregon and Stanford in one division. Sets up possible state or regional matchups for the championship game, Utah-Colorado, USC-UCLA, Cal-Stanford and Az, Washington and Oregon against their state teams.

I bet the SEC is bummed too, they could have used another Door Mat team for Florida, Bama and LSU to beat up on

My head is spinning trying to keep track of that.
They have a lot of options I would say, my initial thought would be the Oregon/Washington schools along with Utah Colorado in the "North", and the 4 Cali and 2 AZ schools in the "South".

Sounds like it going to be North with the Washington Schools, Oregon schools Cal and Stanford and south with the LA teams, Arizonas and the two newcomers bacause Colorado made playing in the south a condition because of the large fan base there. I assume Utah felt the same way because of the large concentrations of Mormons in Arizona and Southern California which makes a lot of sense when you think about it.
