I want OU to win out. If we end up playing an undefeated OU in the Championship game it means we are a lock for the Sugar Bowl. Win we get the invite. Lose and OU goes to CFP and we still get the invite to the Sugar Bowl.
ESPN FPI predicts ISU will tie Baylor for 2nd in Big 12.

Some of you might not have noticed, but Texas has a horrible OL. OU had nine sacks against them—and we have a better defense than OU.
That and the fact that the game is at the Jack, and I think that percentage is just about right.
Gonna have to fix the running QB thing.
And Texas seems to be a bad matchup for ISU...hopefully they don't have things figured out by then.
Baylor has to go to TCU (while they aren't great, its a rivalry game and TCU showed flashes of being able to score quickly on us) and go to Okie State. Not to mention they haven't played Texas or OU yet.
Gotta hope if we tie with Baylor somehow it's a 3 way round robin with Texas and tiebreaker gets us in. Or we can still control our own destiny at this point....

If Baylor loses this upcoming weekend @ Okie State (which is highly possible) I do not see them getting two wins against TCU, OU, and Texas. If we then handle business going into the Texas game (I think we do lose against OU), that game against Texas will be the showdown to get to the Big 12 Title game.
However even if all of that happens, it sets up for an epic kick in the groin loss against KSU in the last game of the season to kill our Big 12 Title hopes.. We've all seen that happen before.

We will have our hands full against TT, OSU, and KSU.
I wouldn’t assume we win any of those. Take it one game at a time.
TT is next and will not be easy.

Texas is missing both starting tackles. People don’t realize how beat up the horns this year on both sides of the ball
I think the next two weeks are going to be tough - if ISU can win those two games, then we can get excited about possibilities. The conference is fairly even UT, Tech, Baylor, OSU, and ISU. Would not be shocked if all have 3 conference losses. Going to beat each other up.
I'm pretty sure the rules state:
1. Big 12 Tiebreaker Rules
a.) The tiebreaker goes to Texas.
b.) If Texas is not involved in the tiebreaker it goes to the school that is from Texas.
c.) If no Texas schools are involved in the tiebreaker the conference will be dissolved.
Yeah, I haven't gotten to watch them much but have heard comments about their OL. I hope you're right. I know it's a roster filled with 4 and 5-star recruits.
I still think Baylor drops at least 3 between OU, UT, OSU and TCU
Assuming that is because OU beat everyone and ISU beats Texas, Texas beats Baylor and Baylor beat ISU then it would go to point differential between the games played between the three teams. So we would need to beat Texas by 3 more points than Texas beats Baylor in the situation I sketched out.
Reading this thread makes me hate Baylor even more.
There is just no justice in the world as long as BU is winning football games. God I hate that school.
Big 12 title would be great. But I am still not counting us out of a spot in CFP. I know. I know. That sounds like something a Hawk fan would say.
We can beat everyone on our schedule including OU. Our formula for winning against the big boys is simple: win the turnover battle. We were minus 2 against Iowa and minus 2 against Baylor and were still just a missed FG away from winning those games.
Our CFP chances are admittedly still very slim. We will need to win out and that won't be easy. But don't count us out just yet.

Just feel a need to point out, we’re averaging 38 points a game right now.
38.
Points.
Per game.
Remember when we struggled to hit 25 ppg?
