It looks like all the new system did was replace one type of "logic" that no one liked to another type of "logic" that no one likes. - TWuG Dec 7, 10:57
ESPN reported that TCU will share the title will Baylor despite the head to head win. - ty97 Dec 7, 10:44 7
- my guess is because they are idiots. by changing the rule they locked out either team. might as well have declared iowa state the chanmps then -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:46 6

It's more about the small sample sizes. TCU received no boost from beating a 2-win team. Baylor and OSU played good teams. - David Dec 7, 10:43 1
- I agree completely. the lack of boost along with TCU dropping in their own conference even though they won is all the commity needed -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:48
I thought the Big 12 declared Baylor and TCU Co-Champions -- nm - Bacon Dec 7, 10:40 2
- there is a line in the rules that states ties are broken bu head-to-head. -- nm - dogbert Dec 7, 10:40 1
