There is not a playoff worthy team in the big 12

1) Don’t lump B1G into SEC. That’s a a joke.
2) B12 top four would fare well in B1G.
3) if your point is that Iowa would win the B12, that’s a joke, too.
4) OSU and Oregon would each have three losses vs an SEC schedule

They would fare well in the bottom half of the B1G. Lol. Be real dude.

Whoever wins that garbage conference would finish 5th in the big 10 or sec. Change my mind.

All sports should use hypothetical results to place and advance teams.

BIG should only have 2 teams in. Indiana got an Iowa schedule this year with the usual thumping once they played a good team. Penn St needed a trick play to survive the the mighty gophers! BIG is a classic top heavy conference - 2 good teams, a few mediocre teams and the rest are just terrible.

Put down the crack pipe. B1G easily gets 3 in with Oregon, tOSU and PSU. I agree IU has had a soft schedule but most teams would lose against Ohio state in the shoe.

If by “fare well” you mean compete for 5th-12th place, that’s fair.


I’m not much for discussing fantasy worlds, but although Iowa wouldn’t be an overwhelming favorite in the Big 12, it doesn’t make sense that their winning it would be a joke; there are zero high-quality teams in that conference and as I type this there are 9 teams still alive that could win it, none having clearly superior teams compared to Iowa.

Again, making stuff up is fun, but these arguments are both based on preexisting bias. I doubt any team could get through a typical SEC schedule unscathed, but your “three losses” statement is a bigger joke than anything you’re accusing others of.

One of their top-4 teams needed a last second miracle FG to beat a Cade McNamara-led Iowa team, and another got ragdolled by Nebraska.

It's objectively true that the B12 isn't a great conference this year. Really, it's objectively true that it isn't even good. It's obvious to everybody without blinders.

It's also objectively true that this shouldn't matter and the winner should be in the playoffs regardless of that for both the ACC and B12. Does anybody really think any B12 team is actually a top 15 team this year all bias aside? I don't and it has nothing to do with ISU. Still, they're technically in the "Power 4" so the winner should get in without question but anything beyond that is asking too much.

In the not so distant future, this question will be eradicated as there will only be members of the B1G or SEC in it anyway. Or, should I say the college version of the NFC and AFC.

Indiana's SoS is essentially the same as Notre Dame's and Miami's per Sagarin.
