NEW YORK — Bob Bowlsby certainly favors the 2015 College Football Playoff over the 2014 version that left his league reeling from rejection. So that’s one up and one down for the Big 12 under the new postseason system, and too soon for the pensive commissioner to predict whether expansion, or re-installing a championship game, or both, or neither is the proper strategy.
The dueling perspectives:
—Oklahoma reaching the national semifinals entirely vindicates the Big 12’s decision to stand pat at only 10 members.
—The Sooners winning the Big 12 outright only to wind up as the No.
