We were eligible with 0 this year

Maybe technically, but fewer teams will actually end up going with many smaller bowls not playing this year.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Oklahoma State!

 

[Hayes30]

Why?

Because OSU has the tie breaker against us.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

Because OSU has the tie breaker against us.

Ends up pretty irrelevant when it comes down to getting into the title game.

We win against Texas, we're in.

We lose against texas we need some things to go our way (the big one being KSU beating Texas)

 

[mred]

I haven't run every scenario on @mred's web site but I haven't yet found one that puts us in the CG without beating Texas (barring a ton of upsets among other contenders). Am I wrong?

So given that, go Pokes for the potential rematch and to knock out OU.

I think that's correct. If we lose to Texas, we essentially need Texas to lose to Kansas or KSU, regardless of OU/OSU result.

 

[Aclone]

Beating WVU if we beat Texas is no gimme....

Yeah, neither was beating KState.

 

[Hoggins]

Based off this start, OU might boat race OSU

 

[Aclone]

Because OSU has the tie breaker against us.

So then we want OU to win, so that tiebreaker is irrelevant.

 

[19clone91]

Has to be OSU at this point, I want no part of OU. Andi think we could beat OSU if we played them again.

 

[GrindingAway]

If you are thinking about our chances of getting into the Big 12 championship game this game is essentially meaningless. Play around with mreds calculator and I can’t find a reasonable scenario it matters.

Basically regarding the title game if we beat Texas and we are very likely in. We lose to Texas and we’d have to have a Texas lose to KSU or KU or we are very likely out.

If you are thinking about match ups in the Big12 title game then I’d rather OSU win because I’d rather play them.

Looks like it’s a moot point as I type this though

 

[kentkel]

How in the heck did we lose to OSU?!

 

[TedKumsher]

Last I heard, all 7 bowls with Big 12 tie-ins are still on.

 

[HFCS]

If this score continues look for OU to make a massive jump up in rankings and maybe drag us up with them because of our win over them and the blowout result and 6-1 record.

 

[CloneGuy8]

We played pretty poorly

Aren't there three way ties with OU/Texas where we win tie breaker to get in the game?

That seems like a pretty likely outcome actually.

 

[HFCS]

We are we out if we lose to Texas and ISU, Texas and OU are all 7-2?

Seems we'd have a decent shot with tie break criteria and if we lose to Texas it's looking like that three way tie is very likely.

Here’s the way I look at it.

If:

A. OU wins tonight,

and

B. We win our next three games,

Then we finish alone stop the conference standings, and win the CCG. It’s that simple. Plus the side benefit of beating OU twice in the same season.

I’ll have my cake and eat it too, please.

 

[LoyalFawker]

So assuming we win out, OU and Okie St. win out then no matter who wins this game it would be ISU v Okie St in the championship.

 

[isucy86]

Beat Texas & WVU and bedlam doesn't matter.

Not sure we have a preference as far as improving ISU's odds to get in Big 12 championship game.

Which one is a tougher match up for ISU in 30 days? I would say OU, now that Stevenson is playing and Rattler having more experience.
