Yup. Not because I want them to, not because I dont think we are better. But same record, right next to each other in the rankings, and they beat us.
Hopefully oregon or oklahoma loses, but this year is just not giving us the breaks we need.
The difference with Miami is they know how much they need to win by. So they won't be putting in the 2nd and 3rd stringers, which could end up hurting us.
In a world where Miami is 9 and we are 10, we get left out regardless to make room for the ACC and G5 champ.
*assuming Miami isn't the ACC champ since their odds of evening making the conference title game is very slim.
I gave you two reasons and you still needed more apparently.
Never had won a big 12 title is a great point I'll concede to.
Byes don't greatly decrease your chances of winning a national title, but you should know this already.
I'm starting to think of a possibility that TT could throw the Big 12 championship game.
1) they may have comfortable that they are in regardless
2) working with the big 12 to get two teams in
