Big 12 Championship Game scenarios for Iowa State

I'm just amazed that there actually is still a scenario with 1 game to go.
Yeah, it's right up there for sure. And one of the best parts about it is that with this coaching staff, it actually feels like it might be sustainable. Like this isn't some charmed one year ride and then back to the basement; they're going to be good again next year.
I wish it would be any team except Baylor that we need to win for us to have a chance. I have mixed feelings about being happy for a Baylor win this year.
It makes me think of having to root for Nebraska to get ISU into the Big 12 Championship game years ago. We needed kNU to win for our game to matter. I even wore a kNU sweatshirt I got as a gag gift.
I had a rash for a week.
What am I missing with the one scenario where OSU wins? Wouldn’t they still have the tiebreaker over us?
Three-way tie for second between OSU, TCU, and ISU. First tiebreaker is round-robin; everyone is 1-1. Next tiebreaker is records against Oklahoma, and ISU's the one with a win.
I'm mostly concerned with K-State, then any other scenarios. I think it's going to be a tough game, always is.
If anyone's offense is built to beat what Heacock is doing, it is purple kansas'. The don't have to be forced to be patient and just run the ball; that is what they always do.
True, but Heacock has tweaked the D to better suit our opponents before. I see us playing a 4 man front as a base Saturday and wouldn't be surprised to see us show a 4-3 alignment a lot as well with the Star up in a true LB spot.
I think OU would come out frothing at the mouth if they got a chance to play us again...
Ha can you imagine if we did get in and somehow beat them again? Would be awesome for us but awful for the Big 12.
Yeah, I wouldn't feel real great about that game. Not that I felt good the first time but they're healthier now and I don't necessarily have a huge desire to be on the Baker Mayfield GFY tour.

Anyone else amazed that we are talking about Conference Championship and CMC has been at Iowa State less than 2 years?
