Another one.

Big 12 adds UCF, BYU, Cincy and Houston.

Now they are talking about Memphis and Boise.

Interesting, for sure.

That's twice now since 2000 that Cincinnati has joined a big boy league without OSU keeping them down.

The geography is tailor made for the pod system. 


  • South: Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor, Houston
  • North: OSU2, Kansas, KSU, ISU
  • East: W Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF, Memphis
  • West: BYU, Boise, SDSU?, UNLV?

Getting into Cali would be beneficial for them.

The question becomes... will they get Pluto'd again?

I love it.

It's good for Ohio CFB. It's good for CFB in the MTZ.

As a Bearcat fan I followed the revamped Big East pretty closely, and this conference is way better than that. To drive this point home look no further than WV. They were the team to beat in the revamped Big East. The undisputed centerpiece. Now, they just blend right into the pack.

In the revamped Big East Rutgers with Ray Rice was the only other old guard to make any noise. Pitt and Syracuse were both horrible. It was the noobs that really kept it afloat beyond WV. Louisville, Cincinnati, USF and even UConn were all playing about the best FB that they'd ever played.

This is going to be a fun league. Coast to coast. Recruiting tentacles in Florida, Ohio, and all throughout Texas. It will be fun to see which teams emerge as the teams to beat. Don't count out the Big 12 just yet.

That Provo dot is way off, btw. 

Provo is on I-15 up near Salt Lake. 

That dot is on I-70.

I think the the hope might be by the time they come divisional rules are deregulated.  Seems to be some push for that and I doubt we make it to the an expanded CFP without it (conferences will want their 2 best teams in championship to maximize chance one of them gets bye).  Not sure it will happen before then though even if it happens.

I think those teams set-up best for a kind of PAC-12ish set-up.  Divide the Texas schools, but have them play each other annually locked (like California schools in PAC-12).  Then divide up by older and newer.  It preserves most rivalries and every much play game that I can see.  

Division 1:
Iowa State
Kansas State
Kansas
Oklahoma State
Baylor
Texas Tech

Division 2:
BYU
Cincinnati
UCF
West Virginia 
Houston
TCU

There is also some reporting that there is at least some wanting to go up a bit more once Texas and Oklahoma leave.  I think the money might work better with 12 than 14, but if 14 does work better, my guess would be Memphis and Boise with some consideration to South Florida and Colorado State.

They could add whoever they want, but it doesn't matter.  They're 2nd-tier.  Yawn.
