    My theory on why the Big 12 isn't getting respect from the playoff committee

    And Warde Manuel has said something on more than one occasion that eludes to the eye test. Early on he mentioned Miami's "explosive offense" was a consideration when they had them ranked 4th. Every time he speaks it exposes the flaws in their "system". It's pure laziness and bias.

    My theory on why the Big 12 isn't getting respect from the playoff committee

    One can say that the CFP has nothing to do with the AP rankings, but preseason rankings, and even conference rankings, set the stage however nonsensical they are. I'm not convinced that the CFP committee isn't swayed by that in some form.

    Arizona State Matchup

    It's hard to believe that was 9 years ago.

    Pollard in a war of words with SMU AD

    Exactly. No one outside of the Big 12 is talking about us, and by us I mean the conference. Everyone loves the brands and openly ignores what happens on the field. You can bet your paycheck, though, that if Colorado were sitting at 10-2 right now they would be in the top 12 because it's sexy and...

    Unfortunately, tongue in cheek doesn't come across in the written word. What did you think was going to happen?

    Yearly Matt Campbell to ?? Thread

    Good for her. If you have kids, you know that family comes first. I think a move from Ames to LA would go against everything Campbell is about.

    Yearly Matt Campbell to ?? Thread

    I don't know. How many years do we have this discussion before we don't? He'll be on his 10th season with ISU next year. I just don't think he wants to go somewhere where it's less about developing kids, and more about buying them.

    John Walters' successor

    I think don't that's a fair comparison.

    John Walters' successor

    Pete had always had a passion for ISU. You could hear the passion, just as we do with John and Eric. That's what we will need when the time comes. Someone local who has a history with the school, or at least knowledge of the culture here. There are so many announcers who are good at calling the...

    CW POD: ISU turf manager Joe Hill

    Great podcast. Answered a lot of questions about the condition of the field and the science behind keeping it healthy. Everyone should listen to it. Thanks, Chris.

    Learn me some football

    Perfect example of the question of assumed bad play calling. You're talking about the TTU game? Coach called a QB run on I think 3rd and 10 late in the game. I was guilty of assuming that it was a bad play call, of course only after the play gained zero yards. Turns out, CMC said after the game...

    Poll: ISU -7 vs Utah

    It's weird because Utah fans are not confident at all on their message boards.
