Seems to me that a scenario in which the Big 12 is left out of the CFP, but arguably could have improved their chances with a conference championship game would be a great way to kindle the realignment fires. If the BIG 12 misses out, and starts looking at a championship game, it could start another round of additions. Even the threat by the Big 12 of adding UCONN could be enough to spur the B1G or ACC to add teams reactively...
But it can't be just rooting for the top Big 12 teams to lose -- because if they fall too much out, then a conference championship game would still be meaningless. It needs to be figuring out the right set of dominos to fall so that the Big12 champion is number 5 or 6, and left in the cold....
Now I just need to figure out who to root for each week as this plays out....
