McMustache claims the finalist list is as follows:

‏@McMurphyESPN
Big 12 cuts expansion list to at least 12: AF, BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, CSU, UConn, UH, Rice, USF, SMU, Temple & Tulane sources told @ESPN
UH, Rice, and SMU screams old school TX politics. But hey, why not bring back the SWC?
And Tulane? I guess dem academics. But I can't imagine wanting to add more to the private school bloc or introduce even more TX politics.

Well they got rid of Nebraska so maybe they really are trying to appear more academic.

I guess. They're now reporting that in-person meetings with these schools to start next week at Big XII HQ in Irving.
What? There is so much wrong with this statement.
Tropical storm Hermoine about to roll up on my game on Saturday. Its supposed to be gone by Saturday afternoon but everything will still be nice and wet, and probably muggy as hell.
I don't care what its real name is. Only a system named after some limey mudblood would try to rain out football

Got my picks in. Maybe I'll post more this season since last year I had a girlfriend and this year I don't.
Pandering to Tammy again I see.

Ugh.
I've always like Joey Galloway, even if he played for inarguably the worst team in college football.
I think that's something everyone in this thread, this country, this world can agree on, right?

This feeling is so weird. I think its called excitement? RR/Hoke had pretty much beat it out of me so it feels very strange this year.
Your avatar at first glance just looks like you're calling Michigan the worst state ever because of the colors.

As a WVU fan, I really want Cincy and UCONN to have a couple of closer members. Both would help sure up the basketball side of things even more as well. I guess Temple would be ok there, but I have less confidence in their football program getting/remaining competitive at the P5 level. UCF would be alright too as we've always recruited well in Florida and that's suffered slightly without having roadtrips to Miami and the USF in the Big East to help sell recruits that got passed over by FSU/UF/Miami.
I'd also rather them just got to 14 and grab too more for the west division. Definitely BYU given their national brand and competitive football and basketball. I'd probably go with Air Force or Colorado State for the other. Houston is more competitive currently, but we don't really need a 5th Texas school. They just don't provide a new area to sell an eventual Big 12 network too.
I can't see them going to 16 now, as they'd want to keep a couple slots open for current P5 teams down the road if say the Big 10 or SEC poach the ACC to get to 16 themselves and make some available. There's been some murmuring about Arizona and ASU being less than thrilled in the Pac 12 as well, so maybe they'd move after their grant of rights is up.
I've got a wedding to go to during the weekend of the Oklahoma game, and we've got a pretty decent shot at being 6-0 heading into that one. : (
Any ideas for the podcast tonight? Tonight is SEC preview along with pick ems for this week's games.
Grayson Lambert has been named the starting QB for UGA this weekend, according to sources. It's what I'd do, honestly.
Lambert is definitely no world beater but he's able to recognize coverages better than a freshman and not do stupid things. Anybody can hand the ball off to Chubb. I still expect Eason to play quite a bit Saturday and more going forward until he's starting at least halfway through the season.

Anyone tapped in enough to the gamecocks to tell me whether I should be buckling down for another heart breaking season? Spurrier leaving broke me so I've kept up with nary a bit of news.
Is doubling our wins from last year out of the question?
Can we beat Vandy tonight?
Is it true you can't spell USC with out Muschamp?

Doubling your wins will be tough with the roster that Muschamp has inherited. Tune into tonight's episode of The Decided Schematic Advantage to learn more!
I'm only asking for 6 wins. That's not a whole lot.
Which becomes available Saturday, post-DUBWUBWUBWUBWUBLINBOWL
Haha I'm aiming to have it up tonight if we can get started by 8:45 and done before 10. Have to import the file and then run my processing on it, export, and then upload. Probably be a late night.

You can be sure that I'll give an unbiased take on South Carolina football.
It's not heartbreaking if you don't have any expectations! I'll be content with 5-7 and a ton of experience for the newcomers on offense and in the secondary.

Not a bad schedule in a normal season, but having three of the first four games on the road is rough with a new coaching staff and an extremely young offense.
Anyway.
FOOTBALL TONIGHT ZOMG
Surely as unbiased as my take on the Gatas. I'll do my best.

Just a shameless cash grab from a conference that will likely break up and dissolve after the current grant of rights for most teams expire in 2022-23. The lack of leadership atop the Big 12 over the last decade has been appalling.
What a disgusting human being. And stupid. Did I mention stupid?
I look at it this way, if Vandy wins tonight then South Carolina is really in for a rough season. But if South Carolina wins then it gives them some false hope that will be fun to watch as the games continue.

I have nothing against Tennessee, really, but I gotta pray for my boys at Appalachian State. You'll always be every tOSU fans second favorite team.
I wouldn't hope for much this year is all I'm saying. Hope that they can get a couple SEC wins, that's about it. Anything else is gravy.
I really thought Eason would've started based on the spring game.
