We'll start with the Big 12. The conference leadership is meeting this week and will be presented with the findings of an independent study which concludes that taking three distinct actions will increase their schools' chances of making the college football playoff by 10-15 percent: adding two teams, having one less conference game, and holding a conference championship game.
