Big12 Gonna Get a Participation Trophy For 2016?

[VolnJC]

They only have two undefeated teams (Baylor and West Virginia) and honestly neither has been impressive and will probably lose at least two games. I also think the only hope that the PAC12 has is Washington

Houston might actually be able to snag the 4th playoff spot, because it looks like 2 of the Power 5 conferences might have weak champions. The SEC, Big 10, and ACC Champions (assuming it's Clemson) will all get a spot unless something extremely major happens, and an undefeated Houston team would likely get in over a 1 or 2 loss Pac-12 and Big 12 team.

Yep if I had to guess it would be

SEC Champ prob Alabama
ACC Champ prob Clemson
Big10 Champ prob Ohio State
and Houston

Houston has to play Louisville.

So
Semifinal
Clemson 1
Ohio State 2
Tennessee 3
Washington 4

Final
Clemson 1
Tennessee 3

Sorry Dave -- I think Louisville will beat Houston when they play later this season

Lol, I think LV is legit.

The game is at Houston so it should be good.

They'll be sending Oklahoma as their rep. They played a couple decent teams early, but they're still the best that league has to offer. While Baylor, WVU, and TCU have better records, those 3 teams are still garbage.

I don't know, they already have two losses. I don't see a two loss team making it this year. Michigan and Ohio State won't have more than one, and neither will Houston.

If B12 and P12 champs have a couple of bad losses and Louisville dominates rest of their games, including big win over Houston they could get in. Same could happen with Michigan or OSU if their only loss is a very close one to the other. Not that likely, but could happen.

Sorry, meant to their New Year's Six mandatory slot. There is zero chance the Big12 sends a playoff team.
