Why 98.9% and not 100% to make the ‘ship game now?

Here are some of the more confusing aspects of the tiebreaker explained:
So, if there's a three-way tiebreaker for #1, we go down the tiebreaker rules until the #1 team is determined. Then, we start the tiebreaker over between the two remaining teams to determine the #2 team.
This means, for example, if there's a three-way tie for first and we are comparing record against other positions, any two way ties down the line are broken first (h2h) before doing this step, but three-way ties are NOT broken before doing it.
When calculating scoring differential, you drop the lowest team instead of selecting the highest team.

Looking at it, it appears that the tiebreaker is broken by eliminating one of the 3 teams from consideration as opposed to crowning a winner between the 3. Then the tiebreaker is broken H2H
Just giving you a bit of a hard time here. There's always room for improvement. I'm personally going to savor this victory for a long, long time as a fan without picking the nits. There is no doubt in my mind that Coach Campbell will be going over game tape tonight and tomorrow looking for areas of improvement, but that's why he gets the big bucks.
it should be mentioned... OU might not play next week either. in which case, i am not sure how they get to the 3 way tie without the big 12 blowing up the plans for the championship game date.
Right on. I'm absolutely savoring it. I'd also imagine ISU's players themselves are aware of the need to be better.
Kansas isn’t beating Texas I think. So we should feel pretty good.
Looking at cancelled games:
If ISU/WVU is cancelled, we're in.
If any OU or OSU game is cancelled, it doesn't matter (other than losing the chance of an upset putting us in). Exception is if either team has both remaining games cancelled but there are fewer than 5 games cancelled overall -- that would put that team out of the race.
Other games being cancelled might get more complicated. I have a version of my page here that attempts to handle those scenarios: http://bball.notnothing.net/big12.php?sport=fb&test=1
But if Kansas/Texas is cancelled, it's as bad as a loss as far as we're concerned (when calculating tiebreakers).
And I'd be very disappointed in Coach K. for not beating Baylor tomorrow.
I generally have respect for how KSU plays so I'll be actively rooting for them and once again give me some Baylor failure.
Agreed. I have no problem rooting for KSU over Baylor anyway, but getting everything clinched tomorrow would be great.
I will take this performance every game, good and bad. Every team has things to work on after a game. Overall, A- grade in my book.
Yeah it was definitely good, was just one of those games where an offsides at the 4 yard line is a big no-no when it feels like every drive is important.
One of those games? It's not Iowa State football until we have a false start or two in the red zone.
