And if Baker Mayfield decides (Texas Tech can no longer decide for him) to return for 2017 too...

I assume that expansion is expected to happen by then -- a CCG with 10 teams is nonsensical.

they paid some company to tell them it was advantageous to have a championship game?

I would have charged them less, Im sure.

And both you and the company would be wrong. There is no data to support an advantage to a CCG in a 10 team conference since it's never been done before. There is some counter data. The old BCS formula used to devalue a 2nd win in a re-match situation which would always be the case here (keeping the round-robin format as has been stated). I realize the BCS was a formula, but the re-match part was put in there because human beings perceived it to be a case worth considering and the CFP is made 100% on human perception. Now, it could be that the big12 powers that be are assuming conference expansion in the near future since they are on the inside of things.
