Kids just won't go to a Big 10 school I think they're trying to get all P5 schools to pass it or something. I still think we eventually move in a strange CFB dystopia where you have some schools play in an academic league and others in a more lenient league. We've been there for a long, long time.

Jake Trotter @ Jake_Trotter · Per @mcmurphyespn, Baylor has added a 3-game series w/ La. Tech in 2020-22. Bears have also scheduled Abilene Christian for 2018.
Jake Trotter @ Jake_Trotter · Baylor's future non-league opponents: Duke, SMU, Rice, Texas-San Antonio, Northwestern State, Liberty, Abilene Christian, Incarnate Word
This is why they got left out. If they played an OOC like OU/Texas where you play P5 teams and not dip below the FBS level you look stronger. When Duke is the only P5 OOC....

Can't wait for the complaining from their fanbase after they get left out again
With TCU the next few years they got games with Arkansas, Minnesota, Ohio State and Cal

Baylor vs Oregon in Dallas would make money Baylor home and home against Notre Dame would make money (Catholics vs Battlin Baptists? It sells itself) Baylor vs FSU might be ok Baylor vs Any other power five team for goodness sake. Louisiana tech is usually good and for a mid major they are damn good, but In the CFP era strength of schedule matter. Baylor schedules weaker than any Big XII team

Baylor was never really in the conversation this year entirely due to their OOC, and they haven't learned a thing by it. They'll be left out year after year until they get a clue.

There Re some programs that could schedule like Baylor and get in but they don't. Alabama is always in one of those kick off games against a big power five team. They could legit drop all of those games from the schedule, win the SEC west, win the SEC and be in. USC, Oregon, Texas could all do the same thing and get in. They have equity. Baylor needs to stay as strong as they have been the last three yrs but schedule one good famous team and win one of those games. A national title could do it in the short go, but without a title game they need to be undefeated and have won conference games by double digits to get past the Bama's or Notre Dames and Ohio states

Baylor's reputation is as the worst team in the Big 12, so them suddenly being good isn't oing to sway anyone. The likes of ND and tOSU and Bama (and OU and Texas) could get by with it since they draw. Baylor can't.

Yeah Red, they have to do it the hard way. Schedule would go a long way to help out.

Smaller programs really do have to bust their ass in their schedules to get noticed because they don't draw.
It's not fair but, I didn't make the rules.

Thing with Baylor's OOC scheduling is that it not only hurts them in strength of schedule arguments but also in terms of benefit of the doubt. If it's tight between two teams they aren't going with the one perceived to have avoided competition.

Smaller programs really do have to bust their ass in their schedules to get noticed because they don't draw. It's not fair but, I didn't make the rules. It's not fair now. But at one point Universities decided to invest in athletics that drew big crowds. They achieved more revenue and thus alumni donated. When that happened the public schools were given more money by the states because the enrollment requests went up. In turn the endowments got bigger and then more money went into athletics that drew to begin with and thus the payoff. Then title nine came about. So the demand for athletic dollars to sports grew. The universities invested more in football and basketball because they drew. The gulf between smaller schools and bigger schools widened. The golden era of football and basketball (80's- now) created a bonanza for sports revenue. Parity today is much better than it has ever been but the smaller schools or private schools or schools who are smaller but have been hot (Boise, TCU, Baylor, BYU) still have huge mountains to climb every year because of the USC, Bama, Texas, Notre Dame crowd. But they can do more now than previously and in a shorter time period. I'll use Missouri and Texas A&M as examples. Both had solid winning traditions but had not enjoyed as much success because of being outspent by the big boys of their conference (Texas and OU). They had started getting traction on the field not just in football, but they needed a catalyst to set it off. They both made the re-alignment move and knew they needed to spend money up front to be relevant. They did. Now their names are mentioned five times a show on all the sports shows be it TVs, radio, Internet stories etc. A&M spent $500 million on stadium renovations alone and another $200 million plus in marketing and now they are not alone huge competitors to Texas and OU, but they have recent victories in recruiting and merchandise sales they have not seen over those schools in decades. Mizzou is enjoying it in a more super regional market but they invested money up front, won on the field and now are reaping the bennies. Schools don't need to move conferences to do this. Baylor has spent money (new stadium, new licenses) and have won but they are not scheduling the UCLA's, Notre Dame's and Arizona State's in big money OOC games. If they did that it could be the catalyst they need to put them over the top. The roller coaster of college football success means the natural cycle is they hit a down turn. It happened to Notre Dame, Tennessee, FSU, Florida, hell Bama had a down turn. But the danger for Baylor in a down turn is not recovering period. Success is new to them. If they win a national title or even make a playoff soon they can and likely would bounce back because they'd have been validated as more than a flash in the pan. If they don't than they could become Colorado.

On Dan's show Friday was talking about how many players from the U are expected to get drafted. The scouts are saying the talent is there but the coaching is the problem. Golden doesn't have a chance to survive

Golden doesn't have a chance to survive Whereas if you look at Texas, even as an Oklahoma fan I can see, the talent isn't there, but the coaching sure as f*** is there to get those kids to play hard. Charlie Strong will have Texas turned around back into a National Title contender within a couple of years, and the Red River Shootout will be between 2 teams at their very best. I want that as an Oklahoma fan.
