Also didn't know this stat in bold:

"Big 12: Iowa State (32). The Cyclones (3–4) are the heartbreak kids of the heartland, losing four games by a total of 14 points—just the second team since 1980 to suffer four consecutive conference losses by 14 or fewer (Purdue in 2004 is the other). They’re overdue to win a few, and the conference is tightly bunched.

Which seasons could the Cyclones wreck: Oklahoma State (6–1) and TCU (7–0), both of which are in both the CFP and Big 12 championship hunt. Both games are on the road, Nov. 12 against the Cowboys and Nov. 26 against the Horned Frogs.

Chances of creating chaos: Pretty good. Iowa State has won at least five league games in each of the last five seasons, and consistency has been a hallmark of the program under Matt Campbell. But they’ve got to perform on the road, having lost five straight Big 12 games away from Ames.

(West Virginia has a chance to create even more chaos, with games remaining against all three of the top teams in the league: TCU, Oklahoma State and Kansas State. But the Mountaineers might be less equipped for the chaos role than Iowa State.)"

Tcu beat us by 6 tds the last game of the season and the committee found a way to drop them far enough to miss the cfp in 14. We just have to keep it within 50 to be spoilers.

I think what is even more sad is that TCU was kneeling the ball outside of our endzone. No reason TCU should've been missed the playoffs that year.

This needs to be our mentality going into the last 5 games season. Just win and not worry about anything else. At 3-4 if we want to turn this around and salvage the season it starts with winning this thing 1 game at a time. We're a few plays way from a much better record at this point but can't change that so just f'ing win!

Worst case scenario is ISU goes 5-7 and knock's an undefeated TCU or one loss OSU out of the CFP.

If OSU gets past KSU this weekend, their remaining schedule is the lowest 4 teams in the current standings. I WANT them to be a 1-loss team. Far less likely TCU keeps this up. Their remaining schedule is @ WV, always tough. Home against Tech, folled by two road trips to Austin and Waco. The it's us too finish the year. TCU could very easily go 3-2 the rest of the way and no one would be shocked. OSU will be a favorite in 4/5 remaining. TCU is likely 3/5.

I want ISU to win out at home. Then we can re-visit allegiances come 11/26.
 
I feel more confident in ISU's chances vs. OSU and TCU after this weekend but that just means a better chance.

No idea how to feel about the other 3.

That TCU game sure feels like a "push all your chips to the center of the table" game. While I'm not thrilled with how the year has gone, it's in some ways fun to be the spoiler again.

My guess is that the Big 12 will assign officiating crews that will prevent upsets by Cyclones
