Technically, the first tiebreaker in a three-way tie in the Big XII is record against division opponents. Seeing as we would be 4-1 (K-State), Nebraska would be 4-1 (Iowa State), and Mizzou would be 3-2 (Nebraska and Iowa State), Mizzou would be eliminated from the tie.

Then, you take the 2 remaining teams and look at head-to-head, which we would have over Nebraska.

We control our own destiny with 3 games to play. Crazy.

I Would love to see Iowa play Boise State, Alabama, or any other team way up there!

First rematch with OU, then bowl against Utah.

Can <acronym title="Iowa State">ISU</acronym> win the North still? I hadn't thought of it until now. Who've you played in the North? Just KSU, right?<br> <br>
If you guys were to somehow upset Missouri and Nebraska, while beating Kansas and Colorado, where would that put you?

With Nebraska beating Mizzou today, and with both of them left on the schedule (both at home, thankfully) if we win out, we do no worse than a 3-way tie for first with Nebraska and Mizzou, and go to the championship game via tiebreakers.
