Nah, they really don't. What if TCU went undefeated and Baylor lost once in the regular season to them and then beat them in a conference championship? It'd be the same thing. It's only a big deal because they finished with the same amount of losses. It's up to the committee to decide what they'd like. That's their job.

It's also the difference between 11-1 and 12-1

It isn't the same thing anyway.

Well, duh, it's not the same thing. That's why people don't like it. Everyone plays everyone so that way they can have a 'true' champion. Yes, they have teams that share titles. The conference really doesn't care about making things 'simpler' for the playoff committee. That's just how they view things.
 
Really a genius move by the Big 12. The conference is generally strong enough to get a one loss team in the playoff and instead of eliminating one by having TCU and Baylor play each other again, they have two teams in contention for a spot.
 
As far as 11-1 vs. 12-1, they lose out on that extra creampuff non-conference game by playing an additional conference game. I guess that's a huge deal..

How would that not create the same scenario? Two one loss teams each having lost once to one another


Would actually be worse

Huh?

I'm not talking about it from the same standpoint as you. I'm saying teams from the Big 12 should be viewed slightly lower than teams from other conferences because the "gauntlet" that they have to run through includes one less difficult game, the conference championship game.

Ohio st, TCU, and Baylor are all pretty even, which one won a conference championship game?

Genius move that will keep them from having a team in the playoff.

Big 12 will be looked at on a slightly lower tier than the rest of the P5 conferences until they have a conference championship game.

Oh, so a conference championship game is the determinant of which team is better between conferences? The MAC and WAC and ballsack conference championship winners are superior to a 1 loss team from the big 12 or a hypothetically 1 loss Notre Dame? The committee can decide that if they want, choosing who they think is better between Baylor and TCU isn't that big of a deal considering they have to choose between 1 loss teams from different conferences. That seems way harder

The committee is picking who they believe to be the best teams, not creating a conferences pecking order
 
And so TCU and Baylor play a game and one of them wins. The committee now has a clear top 4 teams?
 
Also, I can buy the committee selecting Ohio St. over TCU and Baylor. But I'm not stupid enough to believe that they come to this conclusion by saying Big 10 > big 12, therefore OSU > TCU and Baylor. They'd pick OSU because they think they are better than TCU and Baylor.

Lol. You are delusional.
