I also like the 12 teams but you know that it is only a matter of time until the super conferences are here. I would rather the Big 10 be more proactive about growing so they don't get all of the left overs.

dvx is going to be really mad. The AP reported that a mistake in there poll last week happened and that in fact South Carolina moves up to number 10 and Nebraska drops to 11...
You guys really need to chill out. We all know the SEC is the best football conference.
And we all know it isn't because of Kentucky.
All this conference "stuff" is teetering on the insane...expended-conferences grow into super-conferences grown into 2 or 3 mega-conferences. College football should be more about "student" athletics and less about the pursuit of television and sponsor dollars.
Don't blame ESPN, blame the NCAA, the hundreds of magazine publications, ESPN is only ONE of the outlets that push it, look at ALL the NCAA hype machines, not just one.
lol wouldn't matter either way the numbers of the two are so close... really even most of those in that little area around #10 are close enough to go several spots next week.
I don't see how ESPN is responsible for any of the polls. The AP & Coaches Polls long predate ESPN. Plus neither is even owned by ESPN, as the AP owns the AP poll and USAToday has the Coaches Polls (UPI before them).
Maybe he would feel better about the perceived SEC bias, knowing this week OU became the first team to be ranked #1 100 times in the AP poll.

So what was the rant about earlier now? lol
Ohh the rant still has meaning... I didn't waste my time posting if that's what your thinking
Bit of a surprise. I would have figured they'd push for Big Ten instead. Not to mention Texas isn't anywhere near the Atlantic Coast.
True, looks like they're looking for somewhere that will protect them having the Longhorn Network. Looks like the ACC is a possiblity since ESPN has the main rights along with regional rights as well.
This idea of these teams switching only hurts fans really...those same fans that have to travel huge distances to watch games and cheer their teams on not just football either.
The stadium will be in the same place it always was, they're not going to pick up the Texas stadium and move it to Virginia. If fans don't like traveling far distances to see their team play at other stadiums than they should stay home and watch it on TV.
I have no problem with teams moving or making 16 or 20 team super conferences. There will be top schools and bottom schools, doesn't matter and if a team doesn't make it into a super conference than they aren't good enough and move to a lower tier. If you want to play with the big boys than get better.
