We Are the Champions!

This is equivalent to a regular season championship in basketball and people talked about how Bill Self's streak of regular season championships was a great accomplishment. I think the team can find satisfaction in being the best in the regular season while also recognizing there is a greater goal.
Big 12 Champs! What an accomplishment by our players and coaches. The sacrifices these players have made behind the scenes this year to get to this point is being rewarded
What a season so far. I love that we as fans can claim this team as regular season champs. But I also love that in every post-game interview the team said that there is more on the table to accomplish and they aren't satisfied with just getting to the game. There's only one thing left to do...win the whole f-ing thing. Go Clones! Onward!
The regular season champ is also an auto bid to the NCAAs and the Big 12 actually recognizes that as conf champ.
Luckily, this is all moot in 2 weeks when we beat OU.
okay true. But look at this way. If you look at the history of college football, this season would qualify as a conference champion (before conference title games). If we can't claim a conference championship then neither can Iowa. In the modern era, Iowa pretty much tied for their conference championships. They only played 8 conference games, and didn't go round robin. In the years they tied for the championship, the team they DIDN'T PLAY was the co-champ. And of course there was no championship game. So we did everything Iowa ever did to claim and title but we actually did more. We played everyone in our league and didn't tie with anyone. Iowa can't claim that.
Randy Pete be damned, I had to buy one of these gorgeous babies today 
Started fall of '86. Graduated fall of 1990. I don't recall many games but enjoyed the tailgates and people watching. Lincoln House (Friley) was "Criner - you suck!"
When DM and PR plateaued, I thought "it's never gonna' happen here." So, so, SO happy and overjoyed I was proven wrong.
When I taught, we said "It's always a great day to be a Polar Bear." Friends, it's always a great day to be a Cyclone. Today's just a little greater!

How does this work? Can ISU still celebrate being Big 12 regular season champs even if they don't win the game vs OU in 2 weeks. I'm really confused on what the actual designation is.

I haven't read this whole thread, but I'm looking forward to walking into Jack Trice next fall and seeing all of the new stadium improvements. Oh and this written in big bold block lettering across the front of the upper deck:

Much of Campbell’s contract is the original/legacy Language from 11/2015. They typically update duration etc.
When that contract was signed it was still round robin. Ccg was in added in 1/2016. I suspect they have not updated the original Language and bolted on the ccg game incentive instead of redrafting entire document.
This is what I recall.
Do you have a link, because that is not how I understand it at all. Each conference only gets one auto bid for their champion to the NCAA tournament, and it is up to the conference how they crown that champ. The big XII definitely gives its automatic to the conference tournament champion, not the regular season champs. At least thats how I understand it. Of course, whoever is ranked first in the big XII after the regular season is going to the tournament regardless, so whether or not they get an automatic bid is somewhat academic.
Is it wrong to think that regular season champs doesn't mean anything? I would think winning the Championship counts
