CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

If you put Alabama into Big12, I'm pretty sure their TV rating is going to be lower than Colorado.
You can say it's due to CP/hate watching/whatever, the number of people who watched Colorado game this year just for the sake of watching Colorado (instead of the opponent) is easily top 5.

I don’t think it’s in the top 5 dumbest arguments.
The Media Partners have a real dilemma by knowing that if the best teams would be playing each other, the ratings would smash that of even the NBA, but it is too much of a grind and the records would be like the Broncos right now, and would the blue bloods accept .500 records.
Colorado v Michigan, Colorado v Alabama, Colorado v Notre Dame would be 15 Million+ easily.
The only thing holding us back are the teams in our conference that honestly are good programs with no national fans. The only two with a chance in the Big 12 are BYU and Kansas because of two totally different reasons.
Now we're getting some where!I don’t think it’s in the top 5 dumbest arguments.

Where do you stand on women who **** 100 dudes at a time?
Did you have your sense of humor surgically removed? Who takes a statement like, “You know it. I know it. The American people know it” completely seriously?
The fact this statement is coming from a lawyer really says something.

I like my zipper scheduling idea from the CFP thread that I'm quoting here better, but they're very similar.
16+ team conferences need divisions. What happened this year will not be an anomaly, but rather the norm.
Most of the top end of the ACC missed each other. Georgia and tOSU caught pretty rough schedules in the B1G/SEC while most of the other top teams only faced 1 other team from the top 4 in the conference.
Only if you actually think stars matter.
Flex scheduling.
It'd be a conference semifinal in all but name, and ratings gold.
8 regular conference games.
Game 9 is 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3 - at 1 and 2's respective stadiums.
The rest of the games are scheduled to balance biannual home/away and maximize the number of bowl eligible teams.
Teams that finish 3rd and 4th are guaranteed to host game 9 next year, unless they finish 3 or 4 again. Likewise 1st and 2nd must go on the road unless they finish first or second again.
So, basically creating a quasi semifinal round. I think it could work. Biggest challenge, I think, is what it does to season ticket packages - particularly if I paid for 7 home games and it ends up flexing to 6.
I know it sounds crazy, but I am a complete novice when it comes to anyone pulling a train that's 100 dudes strong.

Yes!! I hate how the visitor section is right next to where the visiting team comes out. Make it smaller and farther away from their team.
I hate that we give ourselves a competitive disadvantage at home by making it so the visitors dominate crowd noise in our north end zone.
Just have two non-conference games at home every season in that case and if the Buffs are good enough, the season ticket are also winners by having a seventh game at home at no additional cost except for concessions. Fans on the season ticket waiting list would have first priority at buying tickets for game seven and the pricing could be adjusted to reflect what the Buffs are playing for.
REPORT: Northern Illinois Football Expected To Join Mountain West Conference
Another big change is reportedly coming to the G5 football landscape this week. Last week, Brett McMurphy of Action Network reported that Northern Illinois wer

NIU's other sports expected to leave for either the Summit, Horizon, or Ohio Valley conferences.
Hi, we'd like to guarantee there are no 0 nor 1 loss teams left in the conference, thus preventing any chance of having more than 1 playoff team, EVER.
Thanks, but no thanks.
This is a good point. It would need to be all conferences doing this (plus all having 9 conference games...) for it to work.
If they go to two guaranteed CFP spots for the Big12, then this works just fine.
I love the idea of a 16 team playoff, with the 5 top Conference Winners being guaranteed a seed from 1-8, and hosting a first round game
If there are better ranked teams than a few of the lower conferences, then there is room within the 8 top seeds.
Example: B1G10 winner is undefeated and gets the #1 seed, SEC Winner is also undefeated, but second ranked, then they get the #2 seed. But then, the Big12 Winner, ACC Winner, and MW Winners are below THREE very good SEC and B1G teams, then the Big12 gets the #6, ACC gets #7, and MW gets #8, but still hosts.
Then Reseed the Semifinals at bowl sites, and then have a championship.
16 is 10 too many
The BYE's are bad for business and unfair in CFB
16 takes the same amount of time
16 includes 10 teams that have no business winning a national championship.
If you can't win your conference, HTF are you supposed to be the best team in the country?
Tell that to the AFC South, that division sucks in the NFL, but they keep trying
Have to keep the health of the whole sport better
If they can figure out the 48-60 team Super League, then 16 teams is just right to make it feel like the other college tourneys and play off of the Basketball Final Four
Agreed that many may not compete, but with NIL and balance, who knows

CSU football conference history:
Colorado Athletic Conference/Rocky Mountain Conference - eventually joined the future FBS schools in the Skyline Conference, leaving behind the smaller schools such as Mines, UNC, DU, and CC.
Skyline Conference - was initially shanked by Utah, BYU, Wyo, and UNM when those schools left the future FCS schools that had been brought in to round out the Skyline, but eventually joined the bigger schools in the WAC
WAC - eventually joined larger fish to found the MWC to escape smaller fish programs that had been brought in to round out the WAC
MWC - is leaving smaller fish that were brought in to round out the MWC and joining larger fish programs in the Pac-12.
Moral of the story is that if you're in a conference with CSU, watch your back.
