Path to the CCG
- Thread starter weR138
- Start date
I’m not sure which scenario is more realistic, but we either need to win out or finish 3-1 (with loss to OU) and have Baylor lose 3 of their last 4 (would need to finish in at least a 3 way tie to have a shot since Baylor would have head to head on us).
But don't we now WANT BU to win out? If we both win out would that not be the CCG?
Correct' us and baylor need to finish out the season to meet again in the ccg.
Or Baylor had to self destruct go 1-3.
Either way isu needs to win out
Baylor does not affect us. If ISU wins out we will finish no worse then second.
Baylor has 2 game lead on everyone. They would have to lose 2 of the 4 remaining games to get in a 3 way tie with ISU 4-0 in last 4 games and OU 3-1 beating Baylor in their last 4. If that happens what is the CCG criteria? Does overall record thus out conference games play in to it?

Found Big 12 tiebreakers
Out of conference has no bearing
Assume 3 way tie is not broken in head to head among tied teams you go to highest finishing team below the tied teams. Right now that is KSU who has a win over OU.

Win out and we’re in.
Extremely simple. Extremely difficult.

Yes but with 3 loses someone among KSU, Tex, TCU, & OSU would be involved and OU would have to lose 2 of their last 3 which includes @Baylor and @OSU.
First read this as "college championship game" and wondered if OP recently suffered a head injury.
About 10 posts in, realized he meant the conference championship game. Currently evaluating self for head injuries.

As long as it's the cool kind of 3 way.I stopped reading after this.

One with Rosie O'Donnell and Sarah Jessica Parker? I'm down.
So...With who we still have to play, if we win out, we're in the Big 12 championship game. But we have to win out.
Oklahoma - Currently sitting with one conference loss. Beat them and win out means worst case scenario we would both finish with 7-2 conference records, but we would hold the head-to-head tiebreaker in that situation.
Texas - Both Iowa State and Texas currently have 3-2 conference records. Winning out would give them a third conference loss behind our 7-2 record.
Kansas - Already five conference losses. Self-explanatory.
Kansas State - Similar scenario to Texas. They already have two conference losses. Iowa State winning out would give them a third conference loss.
Of the teams we've already faced:
TCU - Currently has 3 conferences losses plus we have the head-to-head win.
Oklahoma State - Has 3 conference losses, so winning out still puts us ahead of them.
West Virginia and Texas Tech - Yeah...
Do I actually think we win out? Hard to be confident after Oklahoma State game, but the path is at least there where we don't need help to get to Dallas.
