It's very possible. Especially if everybody wins.Quote:

They need to go to 8 teams. Every Conference Champion and pick 3 more.

That makes too much sense. Of course they would still shut the Big 12 out until they have enough teams to have a championship.Quote:

They could just tell the Big 12 to decide on tie breaking rules if they don't have a Championship game.Quote:

I personally think either the Big 12 gets on board with the way the other conferences are doing it and actually expands or falls apart. I don't think there will be much in the way of anything in-between. The other 4 conferences will block any move towards a system with autobids if the Big 12 has any conference format that looks different than theirs. I do think the ball is in the Big 12 conference's court if there is ever going to be a discussion about 8 playoff teams. I think it will be structure like NB stated with 5 conference champions and 3 at large. Even with tie breaking rules set up for the Big 12, I can't really see any scenario where the P5 conferences settle on letting the Big 12 have a different format. While the motivation for the Big 10 to move towards more teams and a championship was for revenue, it will end up fitting any future playoff structure. If the Big 10 can break out of their traditional mold, so can the Big 12. Otherwise, it will lead to the P4. Certainly that would be interesting with 4 superconferences split into 2 8 school divisions each. It makes for nice numbers in the end. The only problem is there are 65 schools between the P5 conferences right now, including Notre Dame. So it would make a lot more sense for the Big 12 to at least a couple more programs.Quote:

Committee is cheering hard for Washington and Clemson. Nobody knows what will happen if one of them lose. Lets say one does, what do they do? They've said not playing a title game hurt the Big 12 two years ago. Would they put the Wisconsin/PSU winner in over Michigan? Michigan beat both. IMO I thik Michigan in would make it a more competitive field. I think they'd give Bama a tougher game than Washington, PSU, or Wisconsin. Who knows.
