B12 just got more info back from the research group.

8 conference games with 12 teams gives them a better mathematical chance of getting 2 teams in playoffs.

And doubles the chance of getting one team in every year.
Putting aside the ludicrousness of placing Memphis ahead of Cincy, this is an obvious falsehood. For expansion to double the chance of the B12 getting one team in the playoff every year, their chance of getting a team in without expansion would have to be less than 50%. No way that's true.
Possibly expansion halves the possibility of not getting a team in, say from 30% to 15%. But that seems unlikely when you're adding two teams unlikely to make it in.
