A further tie-up between the Big Ten and the Pac 12 is stupid, IMHO, for
the reason given above.  

There is no guarantee that a playoff would involve any home games, in fact
a strong argument could be made against it just on the basis of weather
conditions.  The problem is that 'neutral sites' might not be all that
neutral and/or ticket sales might suffer.  But are ticket sales going to
be relevant in a playoff if ESPN or other networks are in the driver's
seat?  I rather doubt it.
