Now that we've beaten throttled K-State, who do we want to win between OU and OSU?

OU puts all of us in a huge tie.
OSU secures a spot but gives us breathing room vs OU.

I'm assuming we lose vs Texas.

“Us” who?

If OU wins, we’re free and clear in first place, no matter OSU’s makeup game.

Some of you make a big deal about the regular season BB titles KU has won. Why should this be any different?

I’d gleefully finish alone in first in the standings.

I think I'd opt for OSU, definitely want another shot at them and OU is rolling now. Plus if OU beats OSU and, heaven forbid, ISU loses to Texas and all four win the rest of their games, that leaves 4 teams with 2 loses at the top of the conference. The tie breakers make my head spin.

But, really, the Cyclones just need to beat Bevo next week.

We lose out in that scenario being 1-2 against the pod.

The Texas game is a must win at this point. We lose that, then we need Texas to lose to either KSU or KU.

Winner of tonight's game doesn't really matter, other than it decides who we'd play in the championship game.

 

[Aclone]

How so? Wouldn't we all have two losses?

Psst. We only have one conference loss.

OSU would be a much easier game than OU IMO.... but I think getting to the title game for now is the goal.... so OU?

 

[jdoggivjc]

I think there are advantages and disadvantages regardless of which team wins. OSU winning basically knocks OU out of the race, whereas OU winning creates a logjam in the standings.

Bottom line, I just want OU out of this. I'd much rather be trying to get the win back from OSU than trying to win 2 against OU in 1 season.

 

[cstrunk]

Definitely rooting for OSU to knock OU out of the race.

 

[isuno1fan]

I just want to get there at this point. Don’t care who we would play.
Concerned about beating Texas.

 

[ESciGuy]

The ******* CCG is a joke when you already play everybody. **** this ******** playing for 2nd place. Just win out!

I seriously don’t care if there is a logjam in the standings.

Because that logjam would be behind us.

 

[CysRage]

Who cares. Beat Texas and we are in.

I don't get all of these assumptions we're losing to Texa$. We're playing as good as anyone in conference and I think Campbell has them ready to play Friday. Clones 31-24

Beating WVU if we beat Texas is no gimme so an OSU loss still leaves them in play and they have the tie breaker over us if we lose to WVU after beating Texas.
OSU wins tonight and we beat Texas, we are in. Not the case if OU wins and we beat Texas.
Go Pokes!

Iowa State is bowl eligible with 6 wins!!!

We were bowl eligible with 0 wins this year. Everyone is eligible in this Covid year.

Not correct. If we beat Texas it's a virtual lock we are in. If we tie with OSU and OU at 7-2, the tiebreaker goes to win % against the #4 team I believe. If that is Texas, OSU is out in that scenario.

Try this out to make it easier. http://bball.notnothing.net/big12.php?sport=fb

 

[Trice]

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.

We were eligible with 0 this year

 

[CySmurf]

Everyone that wants another shot at OSU because it would be easier than OU...realize OSU will probably have to beat OU tonight for any chance for that to happen...

 

[clonedude]

All that really matters is beating Texas folks.

I’m rooting for OSO tonight though just so OU won’t be in again.
