Yes

Ou fans will post this fondly for decades with what's about to happen to them

Enjoy aggie perma 8-4

We'd still have fans ***** about losing in the 1st round.

Now that it's a 12 team field, we will be held to the standard of winning the Big 12 championship (if we are ranked high enough). Does anyone believe that the Big12 will get more than one team in the field?

It's possible. Did anyone think that Baylor and TCU would finish with identical 1-loss records and tie for the conference championship?

My takeaway is we had the second best program in league behind OU and for a couple years the top one

And dealt with all kinds of self inflicted wounds in that span that they did not

Its almost not that great of a memory anymore TBH. We need to beat them again.

However, in the context of a 12-team playoff that silly "Co-Champs" thing would actually benefit the Big 12

That's true, but the Big 12 is a very different conference going forward from what it was at that time. Possible? Sure. Probability of ever happening? Highly unlikely.

Yea, but we had to beat Oklahoma and Texas to get there, which regardless of what we think on this board, counted in the eyes of the media and decision makers (we were still left out, but you get my point). This time, the Big 12 will be written off as a "weak" conference, so basically only the champion will have a shot of getting in and I am almost willing to bet that a 5 seed is about the highest that a Big 12 champ will get.

Those were good times...

I think it will all depend on the scheduling of the big 2 conferences. If they have several teams taht beat up on each other and the Big12 has a team with only one loss to the conference champ they will probably end up higher ranked.

BU would have had a natty in football and TCU would have 2.

Yea, but I think then they will look to "how many ranked teams did the big 12 teams have to play vs how many of those losses came from 'top 15' opponents for the big 2 teams." ESPN will do whatever mental gymnastics they need to for the desired ratings result.

Where's Texas Tech on that graphic???
