Big XII is run by unscrupulous fools
Baylor and TCU might be co-champs, despite Baylor winning head-to-head

I agree the Big Ten is a ****ing joke.

Nov 9 article: Big XII would submit Baylor as the champion Dec 1 article: Big XII will submit co-champions |

I am aware they have changed their tune (if the Nov 9 article was accruate). I am also aware this is not the first time the Big 12 has named co-champions.

Just answer this: Why don't they give it to Baylor? Baylor won the head-to-head. |

because they believe having TCU in the playoff consideration in addition to Baylor benefits the conference. Which I think makes sense, as much as it sucks for Baylor (but who gives a **** about Baylor)

Because their "one true champion" rules allow for co-champions.

Why is it terrible? Seems pretty straightforward to me.
gerrymander /ˈdʒɛrɪˌmændə/ verb 1. to divide the constituencies of (a voting area) so as to give one party an unfair advantage 2. to manipulate or adapt to one's advantage But please, tell us why this is a terrible article. The Big XII is altering its rules in order to benefit its schools. Why not just crown Baylor as the champion? |
