We STILL control our own destiny (kinda)

[cyclone4L]

Oklahoma has three games left (Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma State)
We need to win out in order to make championship, but it is directly dependent on what Oklahoma does.

[Oklahoma's last three game results] = Championship Berths

WLW= OU vs ISU
LLW= BAY vs ISU
WLL = ISU vs OSU
LLL = BAY vs OKST

*This is assuming that neither Baylor nor Oklahoma State doesn't lose a dumb one.

The probability of Oklahoma losing all three is MUCH less than 1%.

Win out and we are heading to Dallas.

What happens if we only show up every other week?

Let's get past Texas before I will give serious consideration to us still being in the mix.

 

[FeedBreece]

Baylor can absolutely lose another one in there too.

Been trying to say this in other threads... the WV game was largely meaningless unless you think OU loses out. We would have been in trouble winning WVU and losing to OU in regards to tiebrakes. Sure the loss sucks, but goal is still in reach. Removes all error in dropping another Texas/Tech/TCU game though.

The odds of them losing out are over 1%... i think they had in the big 12 simulator thread. Cant imagine OU's odds at higher than 70% for any of the 3 remaining games which would imply 3% chance of losing all 3.

Hope springs eternal, good for you, honestly. I wish I was that optimistic.

 

[cyclones12321]

At this point I have no expectations. I’m sick of getting kicked in the nuts. Just going to enjoy this being our problem and not hoping to just get a few wins like it used to be. That has to be my mindset or I will flip lol

I've been saying this too.

Only thing i'm confused about because I am too lazy to figure out all the tiebreaker.
But if OU goes WLW, ISU is in because in that scenario, it's a three way tie with OSU/BU/ISU and ISU is the only one to beat OU?

People really into getting stomped on multiple times. Why do you do this to yourself? People probably think ISU men are a tourney team this year too.

8-4 would be outstanding, we'd be punching above our weight recruiting wise. Covid year was odd. We should realistically finish with 6-8 wins with our recruiting profile and Campbell as coach. (5-6 wins without Campbell) once our recruiting picks up and average of 15 spots I'll be into more hype.

Or beat Oklahoma on the road for the 2nd time in 30+ years.

 

[ESciGuy]

What's wrong with being optimistic? Yes, it sucks we've already lost three games, given the expectations going into the season. Will we win the next four games? Probably not. Are we capable of doing so? Absolutely! Why not make that the goal? Would you rather wallow in self-pity about what might have been? **** that!

This. It's funny that a win AT Oklahoma is being assumed by so many. We don't beat them often, and no one has beaten them this year.

Assumed? No one has assumed this. Wanna compare Campbell's record vs OU to any previous ISU coach?

It’s not assumed. It’s certainly possible and acknowledging that is not wrong. Campbell has won down there (and really should of won last time too).

 

[JUKEBOX]

team is basically the same as last year but we have had less breaks this year

it's very possible that we could win out if the offense and defense (edit: and special teams lol) perform at the level they are capable of

we're a few plays away from being 7-1 (and we probably beat iowa if we play them later in the year)

 

[baller1]

we are also in with this scenario at 6-3

Oh gee, I sure hope we can punch above our recruiting profile. That'd be swell!

Why would we watch sports if we can't be optimistic about our team? Nobody is saying it's likely. We're saying it's possible. That makes Saturday more fun.

We aren't cheering for anything that hasn't happened since *checks notes* last season.

Aside from us winning out, I think the biggest thing is Ok St not losing to someone they shouldn’t. We need them involved in tiebreakers.
