Big 12

17 June 2010

The dust has started to settle and it looks like the Big 10 in now the Big 12 and vice versa.   The Big 10 will finally get to have it's championship game with Nebraska now on board.  Weather they pick up any more teams is speculation and rumor right now.  But, the excitement of a championship game and the revenue it will bring will be spectacular.  There is one catch with a championship game, it elminates champions.

t think the Mountain West is done adding teams. 

There are currently 11 conferences and the Big 12 looks to be going away.  The Big 12 currently has 10 and now the WAC is down to 8 teams.  The Big East is the next smallest with 8 and the Sun Belt, the weakest  conference has 9.  If 3 of these leagues were to dissolve, creating 8 superconferences then, a playoff would fit very nicely.  It would actually be a 16 team tournament, since everyone would have a conference championship game.

There are some big games on Saturday.  The ACC is at the top of the list with perhaps the biggest game.  That game is Duke vs Miami Fla.  Miami had the worst record in the league for the ACC and knocked off Wake Forrest and Va Tech.  Va Tech looks to still get in and Wake was a bubble team.  Losing to Miami may have knocked them out.  If Miami wins, that would put them into the ACC final against either NC ST or Ga Tech.  Ga Tech is a bubble team that could earn a spot with a win today.  But either way, a Miami win would give a team that wasn't in the field of 64 a slot, bumping someone else out.  Live long Jimmy V.

got beat by lowly Nebraska.  That is very unimpressive.  The Tigers have a 10-6 record in Big 12 play.  That alone should qualify them for the NCAA tourney.  But losing in the first round to Nebraska who is 14 and 17 on the year is bad.
