Big 12 Tiebreaker Rules

The team that loses to the suckier team gets the higher seed. Makes sense. KU lost to WV, we lost to Baylor. WV finishes ahead of Baylor and we get the one over KU. Brilliantly illogical. Tiebreakers should start from the bottom up. You have a worse record against a crappier team, you should get the lower seed. Not that I'm complaining as it works out for ISU in this situation. Just makes no sense.

They are equally bad tiebreakers. If we have a worse record against the bad teams than a squad we're tied with, we have a better record against the good teams than them.

It's so ridiculous that in both football and basketball they won't apply tiebreakers to the championship. They do it for who gets to represent the conference in the "whatever you call BCS bowls now" and seeding for the tournament only. It's not that hard, you have true round robins in both sports.

Either get rid of the "One True Champion" slogan or make the tiebreakers apply to the regular season title.

Do you really want to finish 2nd in the Big 12 with an identical record to another team? I don't. Co-Champs is hunky-dory with me.
