ROSEMONT, Ill. -- Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez, a member of the College Football Playoff Selection Committee, said Wednesday the Big 12 was affected last season by not declaring one true champion.
When asked at the Big Ten spring meetings whether having co-champions impacted the Big 12, Alvarez replied, "One of our main criteria is conference championship. You can't give two teams in a conference the conference championship. You can't give two teams credit for that."
Alvarez said the Big 12 "didn't have a champion, they had co-champions."
