Indulge me for a minute.
What’s bigger for the B12 in terms of optics as a more successful year for the conference:
Getting two teams in the CFP but losing fairly quickly (first and/or second round) or getting one team in and making it to final 4 (and losing)?
Like March madness. We can send the most teams every year but some years the B12 might not make it far (2024).
Where an American can send one/two team and makes it to the final four.
