Really? In an expanded playoff the SEC basically becomes 2 7-team conferences, whose winners almost always get invites. The Big 10 has slightly worse odds with their 9-game conference slate, but they too will likely have 2 teams in the top 8 mostly by dint of not playing a difficult schedule when you miss the best teams in the other division. A 10-team, 9-conference-game Big 12 is going toneed 2 teams that are close to perfect to get both teams in and those 2 teams will have in all likelihood played twice (outside of the odd 2008 scenario). If they split then you have a good chance of getting both in, but if one teams wins both meetings, the second place Big 12 team could stay home in place of another SEC/Big 10 team or two, ND, or another ACC team that gets the benefit of an 8-game conference slate. The other conferences can protect their two division winners in most years without that certain rematch the Big 12 always has in the CCG. Being in a bigger conference, especially as a power team that plays fewer conference games, is an advantage in an expanded playoff.
