[URL]http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jon-solomon/25444865/will-ncaa-vote-force-big-12-to-expand-for-conference-title-game[/URL] … [I]SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Sunday his conference will vote against proposals that would change the format of football championship games, but he did indicate a willingness to find a different way for the Big 12 to stage a championship game if it wants one. “Is there a way to allow a 10-team conference to play full round robin and play a championship game?” Sankey asked. “I think that's worthy of a conversation, but it hasn't been introduced for formal consideration at this point.” “There is a standard that’s been set, and there are four conferences among the five that meet that standard,” he said. “But there’s an openness to see if there’s an approach that works for the Big 12 in its current circumstance.” Bowlsby said the Big 12 could go to two, five-team divisions as the Big Ten proposal would require. But the Big 12 wants to avoid that because its two best teams could be on one side of the division. “What would have been the best matchup was already played within divisional play,” Bowlsby said of such a scenario. “I'm not convinced that a full round robin isn't the most viable and most reliable way to determine your champion.
