    13 week schedule and Ohio State-Michigan moves to after Thanskgiving. It reduces the break between bowl games.

    Conference title games are overrated.

    much like the big 10. Get it together, your conference is ruining college football

    How do you want them to hold a championship game with 11 teams? When they are able to add a good 12th team like Iowa State or Texas (which has been discussed) I'll start arguing for a championship game.

    Your conference isn't much to speak about either so you shouldn't be talking

    To have a conference championship game you need divisions like what all the other conferences with a conference game has. With 11 teams it would be unbalanced and would cause schedule problems, other than that having a random championship game wouldn't make any sense especially when the conference record has only 1 team on top

    Agreed. Unless the conference is broken into two divisions that do not play each other there is just no argument for a conference title game which can lead to only two possibile results: a 2-0 matchup in which the second game did not need to be played or a 1-1 matchup that leaves everybody still wondering.

    My favorite conference title game is no longer played. That was the Big Ten winner against the PAC-10 winner in the Rose Bowl. Now, that was a championship worth watching!
