Watching all these Big 12 coaches vote for a 24-team playoff and I just keep thinking about the 2000 season when we went 10-1 and got left out of the BCS because we were a mid-major. We didn't need 24 teams back then. We needed a committee that actually watched the games instead of looking at conference logos. Now every program wants a participation trophy and they call it access. The whole thing just cheapens what it used to mean to earn your spot on the big stage.
