Doesn't matter. We beat Kansas and we're in.
West Virginia beats OU, we're in over Oklahoma because of head to head tiebreaker.
West Virginia loses, then they have more conference losses than us. We're in.

We win in Kansas we’re in is what I thought.
We beat OU so if OU loses we’re in. If WVU loses we’re in because they’ll have 3 loses. I think that’s how it works.
I hope Herman rips the head off any player talking about the championship game.
We need to be locked in on Kansas and nothing else.

Ya we definitely can’t look past Kansas for sure. I’m curious to see if we go with Buchele to start with and try to preserve Sam.
We would all be 7-2 in conference
Although I guess OU would be 0-2 in this scenario
What are the Big 12 rules for a three way tie? If WVU beats OU, and Texas beats Kansas, there will be a three way tie.
All 3 teams would have 2 losses.
WVU wins based on head2head. because they beat both.
Then Texas over OU because of head2head.
FYI, after head2head among the 3 teams, would have been point difference in the games among the 3 teams. That rule would not have been triggered even if OSU did not beat WV.
OSU did Texas a huge service. Now, Texas need not watch the WV-OU game.
Just focus on Kansas.
And then on WV after they drop 60 on OU and hold them to 40.

If TX loses to Kansas, Texas could still play in the championship game.
OU would have to beat WVU(home), and
ISU(home) would have to beat KSU to force a 3-way tie. for second place between ISU/WVU/TX.
Texas would be in because of a +13 point difference in the games between the 3 teams.
ISU is at +2. WVU at -15.

I think some of you are thinking about the old ways, in which only one team advances out of three. You're thinking we have to beat out both OU and WVU. We don't. West Virginia beats OU, we play them for the title. OU wins, we play them for the title. Get it? Two teams advance, not one.
Sheesh... just beat Kansas....move along. Nothing more to see here,
This in f’ing flashing neon lights.
A lot of mofos on this team need to remember getting punked by one of the worst Big 12 teams of all time in their last trip to Lawrence.
Not that it really matters, but I find it interesting that WV dropped behind UT by a spot in this weeks polls even though WV has 2 losses compared to UT's 3 losses and WV won at UT.
OState 10-1 is 1 spot in front of us 8-3 and LSU 9-2 is 1 spot in front of them. Rankings are weird.
I hate the beauty pageant. Give me 4 conferences with the winner of each going to the playoff. The regular season would be much more intriguing without the journalist opinions.
I think they got it right. If you just purely went by record without considering who was played and how they looked then Utah St., UCF, and Army would be ahead of all of them.
Ohio St. was blown out of the water by Purdue, and has looked like crap for several weeks now. LSU has better wins and better losses than OSU.
I like the thought of having 4 Power Conferences with the winner of each Conference automatically in the Playoff. I would like to see 4 Wild Cards added to that for a Total of 8 Teams.
Texas has gotten extra love from the polls all year. Not only that....but the folks that we beat....or that beat us also get love...OU lost to us, but didnt not drop far in the polls. UWV bet us and stayed pretty high even when losing to OSU.
Good things happen when scumbag Art Bryles doesnt have a poll vote anymore....
I would be happy with 4 teams. Conference play would eliminate the wildcards. As long as there are no real WILDCARDS like Notre Dame. Make them play in the ACC or something.
