Absolutely fascinating how many teams are still in it for the Big 12 championship. Including WVU who we played!
Big 12 championship scenarios
- Thread starter doctornick
- Start date
Realistically, ASU and BYU are close to a lock for a rematch in the b12 CCG.
Iowa St actually has the most scenarios where they can make it interestingly.
Arizona St is pretty much the only school that essentially controls their own destiny (there is one scenario where they could win but not make it)
Most scenarios.... - that has zero to do with "likelihood" of those scenarios. All BYU and ASU have to do is win and they play in the B12 CCG (given that they're both playing bad opponents - both Arizona and Houston are 4-7).
I just read two different articles that said two different things... one said that if all of the 2 loss teams win (ASU, BYU, ISU and Colorado) then ASU and BYU go to B12 CCG. The other article says if they all win, it's ASU and ISU.... not sure which is correct.
Maybe the confusion is all "favored" teams win.... because KSU is favored to beat ISU. Anyway, not sure... the one thing I take from it is that Colorado is definitely out if all 2-loss teams win this weekend.
BYU most certainly does not control their own destiny. They need help beyond just winning their game. There's a number of scenarios were Iowa St in particular could go over them.
ASU mostly controls their own destiny - there is one collection of results (Colorado, Baylor, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, Iowa St, and Houston all winning) that could result in them not making the CCG despite winning.
A two-loss Big 12 champion will claim an auto-bid (Probably the only Big 12 bid given) while probably a 3-loss Alabama will be out and a 3-loss GA (if they lose in the conference finale) getting in along with TN and TX for 4 SEC bids. That's not so terrible.
Yea, I sent you a subsequent message saying that I had read two articles that had conflicting information..... I think writers were potentially confusing if all "favored teams" win with all specific teams winning.
