Numlock posted:IDK its almost like Baylor losing their bowl game is a tradition now. Nah. Under Briles we lost one, won two, then we went into one expected to dominate and got beat comfortably, then went into another expected to win comfortably and lost a heartbreaker. Clearly next year we're going to make the playoff and everyone's going to expect us to get rolled, and then we trash Alabama or something. Patterns!

Considering we return just about everyone but Bryce Petty from an 11 win team, if Briles finds a way to go 5-7 he'll probably deserve that. Thermos H Christ posted:I would have eagerly watched a Baylor/TCU rematch at the end of last year. Are you kidding? With all the pissing and moaning from TCU fans desperately trying to rationalize that 'no really, there were some questionable pass interference calls ergo coughing up 24 points in 10 minutes didn't actually count,' the last thing anyone needed was a rematch. Either Baylor wins and nothing really changes or TCU wins and we've got a 1-1 series split and wind up with both fanbases getting insufferable and going "NUH-UH, our win REALLY mattered" or "B-but so and so was injured/wasn't playing as well in game x so it didn't really count!" No loving thank you.

MourningView posted:relegation is stupid bullshit and the creeping influence of soccer must be stopped at all costs Relegation just doesn't work with the college sports model. The only sport in the US that could conceivably switch to relegation/promotion without completely restructuring is pro baseball. Even bringing it up as more than a fanciful thought experiment is stupid. No school would ever support it. Thoguh fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 1, 2015 |

It wouldn't work there without a complete restructuring of how the minor leagues work either. It's dumb and the internet needs to knock it off already.

A third at-large spot would probably be a team that didn't even win its division most years so giving that spot to a mid-major that did, at least, win its conference is alright in my book
