Will a win next week put us in the Championship?
- Thread starter Hayes30
- Start date
Okie state plays Kansas. So they will win, meaning they'll be tied with us. Texas could be tied. And TCU could be tied (if baylor wins). Not sure but I think we're technically still alive. Doesn't help us that we'd have lost to two of those three teams.
Stole this from Twitter, but it would take:
1. ISU>KSU
2. OU>WVU
3. TTU>UT
4. BU>TCU
The first three don't seem that crazy, but it would just take a miracle in Fort Worth.

Does this mean we have to cheer for Baylor? Barf
You can replace 2 or 3 with KU > OSU and that would work also I think.
reposting this from the GameDay thread
first tiebreaker is head to head against all the other teams with the same record.
ISU, TCU, and WVU are 1-1 against each other,
ISU, TCU, and OSU are 1-1,
ISU, TCU, and Texas are 1-1
In all those scenarios, ISU would win the 2nd tiebreaker, which is record against teams top to bottom due to the win over Oklahoma.
In cases of 4 teams, ISU loses the first tiebreaker because ISU has lost to WVU, OSU, and Texas, ISU would be 1-2.
Tiebreakers are here: http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=1546006
ISU gets to the title game with a win over Kansas St.,
Baylor must beat TCU,
and 2 or 3 of the following 3 lose next week: WVU @ Oklahoma, Texas vs. Tech, and Okie St. vs. Kansas.

Pretty damn remarkable that we can talk about this, this year, with one game to go. Win next week and we’re at worst tied for third (assuming OSU loses today).
And that will make a huge difference in our bowl game. IMO please keep us out of Houston...
mental health tip: don’t look too hard at scenarios had we won nail biter vs ok state

Oklahoma is in, regardless.
If TCU wins, they're the second team in.
If TCU loses to Baylor and KSU beats ISU, TCU's still in.
If Baylor and ISU both win, then:
* IF OSU/WV win, TCU's in.
* IF OSU/OU/Texas win, TCU's in.
* If Kansas/WV/Texas win, TCU's in.
* IF OSU/OU/Tech win, ISU's in.
* If Kansas/OU win, ISU's in.
* If Kansas/WV/Tech win, WV's in.
If TCU wins, they're the second team in.

Driving the ball with a TD giving us the win at West Vag is the one that fogs my mind.
I know, it ain't healthy to dwell on what if's, but what if? A playoff game with OU! Damn!
Probably a .5% chance of everything falling the way it would need to fall for us to still make it in. That's without adding the 'Iowa State Factor' which the graph clearly shows tends towards negative infinity.
Fun Fact - Saw an interview with Carey and he said the chip in his tooth is real and for the movie he just had them take out the fake part of the tooth.
