this is how it's going to be! - Gardyloo UT - 5/20 10:12:15
     I selfishly want it to stay at 14. I want MU in the club - KINGTIGER KC - 5/20 16:31:56
          I agree. 4 conferences of 14 is better than 4 conferences - BadAsh SEC - 5/20 21:07:39
               The other 65 teams might put up a fuss - Bobk MU - 5/20 21:34:22
                    There's always going to be complainers.(nm) - BadAsh SEC - 5/21 08:49:33
     Or not (nm) - TigerinKansas MU - 5/20 15:39:32
          After the lunacy you posted recently, do yourself a favor & - Gary P. STL - 5/20 16:07:01
     Looks very good! Great setup and logic - Mizz_Tiger MU - 5/20 14:27:25
     I think that's broadly correct - HungaryGator UF - 5/20 14:17:55
          instead of the floating opponent, just have everybody - dangertim MU - 5/20 15:45:43
     ^^^But Les Miles really does not care for MU, HA! * - MizzouBuickFan MU - 5/20 14:05:31
     I agree, but instead of having semi's, your two divisions - dangertim MU - 5/20 13:19:08
          actually makes sense - Gardyloo UT - 5/20 13:35:04
               Honestly, if the SEC had it's own playoff - BadAsh SEC - 5/20 14:14:59
     That makes no sense, therefore given the direction Missouri - alstl MU - 5/20 12:48:25

                         They aren't even top 10 - Grasslands MU - 5/20 12:49:15
                              haha. Go look at the rankings of the top public universities - tjwheeler UI - 5/20 12:51:06
                                   They might make up 5-10 - Grasslands MU - 5/20 12:58:04

                                                  I'm too lazy to look it up, but - tjwheeler UI - 5/20 13:16:06
                                                       Agree with most of that - Grasslands MU - 5/20 13:28:30
                         Disagree with that statement - BOILERTIGER MU - 5/20 12:45:41
                              UNC is top 10 public, maybe. (nm) - etherice MU - 5/20 12:49:18
                              I might put Cal at best. But, Michigan, UNC, UVA are all - tjwheeler UI - 5/20 12:49:05

                                                  For sure with their law. - tjwheeler UI - 5/20 13:07:28
                                        And Cal. And UCLA. And like 5 others, at least. (nm) - etherice MU - 5/20 12:54:00
                                   So you admit you're wrong. (nm) - etherice MU - 5/20 12:49:47
