B12 Championship?


Honest to God. When in the world did UT football become a victim of the ambiguities of some pencilnecks at Big XII headquarters. It ‘s real damn simple. Win your football games that matter and let the accounts count the beans. Dear God. Have we completely lost our balls?
 
I see no chance, absolutely none, where we let Tech beat us Friday night. Ain’t gonna happen. See y’all at Jerry World :hookem:
 
Tceh game:

Senior night!

Big XII Championship game on the line....

Fans and students will be well lubricated and VERY FIRED UP!!!

DKR will be ELECTRIC!!!

Raiders get crushed!!
 
Craig Way was saying we had clinched at spot in the CG last night. I don't want that at all. This team needs something to fight for Friday night.
 
From Big12 website--
"
If Texas Tech wins on Friday, the following scenarios apply surrounding Big 12 matchups on Saturday, November 25:"
  • No team can clinch a bid to the Championship until Saturday.
  • Texas can still clinch a berth to the Championship if two of the three two-loss teams (Kansas State / Oklahoma / Oklahoma State) LOSE on Friday and / or Saturday. Texas and the remaining winning team of those three will qualify for the Championship.
  • If Texas loses on Friday, and two or three two-loss teams WIN amongst Kansas State / Oklahoma / Oklahoma State on Friday and / or Saturday, there will be three or four teams tied for both Championship berths. Multiple scenarios exist in this circumstance contingent on which teams remain in the tiebreaker pool.

So they could just tell us those scenarios. Or at least how they are going to interpret their own damn rules. Of course we need to just win, but if we don't I see law suites a plenty. To say "multiple scenarios exist and we can't tell you" is ridiculous. it's a finite number of scenarios. Just list them out.

Exactly, it doesn't address the scenarios we're concerned about. Beat tceh, nothing to be concerned about.

Lose to tceh, the most likely scenario is what they don't address; 2/3 of those teams winning or most likely all 3 winning. OU could possibly lose if Gabriel is out and it is a Fri game, less time to recover. BYU is just bad and I don't see ISU beating KSU.

It seems like Texas should get the nod over okie lite due to the highest rated opp and Texas beat ISU and KSU, but OSU has the h2h over ou. KSU beating ISU and not playing ou could be the problem, Not sure even though Texas has h2h because okie lite has h2h over ou.
 
Texas will make Big 12 Championship with:
  • Win over Texas Tech
  • Loss to Texas Tech plus Oklahoma State loss
  • Loss to Texas Tech plus Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Kansas State wins

This makes sense. When folks said that Texas was in if they beat ISU, I think the assumption was that the other 3 teams would win (which is still the most likeliest case).

#3 is what I think too, and why I posted the calculator because that's what it calculates. I just haven't seen any official site confirm it and why I say the B12 posting is BS because it doesn't address this. And also why I'm (and probably most Texas fans) most concerned about it because this is probably the most likely scenario IF Texas does somehow lose to tceh.

You just never know what B12 ref's may have cooked up for Friday. But I think as long as Texas can avoid turnovers, dumb penalties they will win. tceh can't beat Texas, but Texas can beat themselves.

I believe that we will win. In the event that we do not, I believe that Kansas State will win. That other stuff won’t happen.

We could have clinched on Saturday had ou and Kansas State lost, which at certain points looked very possible.

Just beat tceh and that will spoil the "new" Big XII coming out party. Otherwise, the tie-breaker rules will be managed in such a way that oSu and KSU play for the Championship.
 
Hence my caveat, but Red's mouth and hitting a guy 3 yards into the big white stripe are absolutely dumb penalties.
Course they can hit Sanders on the other side of the white line and hurt him and that's ok. My biggest fear with these refs is they'll get someone hurt. Teams know they can take cheap shots wiht no consequences. It's flat out dangerous. Aggies had one thing right. B12 is the BDF. So glad to get out of here
 
I don’t like this at all. This is the problem in a league without divisions and with unbalanced schedules. This ambiguity will probably continue in the SEC.

As the NFL, MLB and other sports leagues grow, they add more divisions to clearly state who can advance to the playoffs. As college football conferences grow, they get less divisions so conferences have to issues clarifications twice in the last couple of weeks to see who can go to the playoffs. :facepalm:
