I'll tell you one thing... I don't feel good about TCU's chances of winning the Fiesta Bowl.
They need to quit worrying about youtube songs of injustice and get ready for a football game.
GP better get his team under control. Quit their griping, its not going to change, and focus on the task at hand, which is playing a team that has been there and won against a team that was far better than TCU is.

I have them pretty low on my confidence list. I am thinking of changing it to BSU. They are hungry and fired up. The frogs feel slighted and are feeling sorry for themselves.

I think they want to prove their case for bitching.

That's 4 minutes I'll never get back.
In other news, the Big 10 is looking to expand and supposedly Mizzou is interested in joining. Wonder if the Big 12 would extend an invite to TCU?

Very interesting, I don't know how that would work with TCU in the North though.

Maybe move OK St to the North? No one would go for that.

Also, I'm not so sure the Big 11 would welcome Mizzou. How does that improve the conference? They want ND, who turned them down. Mizzou, Syracuse, Pitt and Rutgers are the suspects. None of those will significantly improve revenue for the conference.

ND would be perfect for the Big 11, but it won't ever happen until the BCS takes their mouth off of ND's balls. OSU is the only option in my mind but I can't see either them or the Big 12 going for that.

Disgagreed.
OSU would absolutley LOVE a move to the north. They couldn't get there fast enough. They go from playing for 3rd (or 4th or 5th) in the division to playing for the division title every single year. They would get out of yearly matchups with texas and the rest of the south.
What they would have to do is incorporate some sort of "rival" game between each north and south team.
For instance, every year the following games would occur:
OU-OSU (bedlam)
tu-Neb (always play great games and kind of have a rivalry going anyways)
tceh- Kansas (both out on the plains and no one cares about them, play good games)
Ags- K State (similar schools)
Baylor- ISU (both suck and no one cares)
TCU- Colorado (that is what's left)
The rest of the schedule rotates like normal.
The Big 11 and ACC do this format and it allows the bedlam series to continue (although I doubt OSU really would gripe all that much if it didn't). OU-Neb used to be a huge rivalry until the Big12 started. They moved that series to a 2 on 2 off deal, so there is precedent.
So, in short, you are crazy if you think OSU wouldn't want to move to the north.

Also, Mizzou would be a good addition to the Big 11 (I think their name would have to change back to the Midwest Conference).
The Big 11 is all research universities with strong academics. Its more than a football thing. Mizzou is also a research university with above average academics.
They would like to get out of the Big 12 for the same reasons that OSU would like to go to the north. In the Big 11 they would have an advantage over everyone else...they can recruit kids out of Texas due to relative proximity.
