Exactly. The fact that the regular season didn't leave us with an obvious Big 12 south champion doesn't change the fact that regular season games hold more importance in college football than in just about any other sport. 

Part of that is, I think, because it's not all about getting into the playoffs. Alabama-Auburn, Oklahoma-Nebraska, OU-Texas, Michigan-OSU---those games are all huge to the fans of those teams regardless of what else happens. I'd hate to lose that.
