We STILL control our own destiny (kinda)

[JM4CY]

How do we still control our own destiny? I may have missed some of the scenarios but don’t we still need somebody to lose even if we win out?

We actually okie st to lose but only once

Thank you. Fair enough. Pretty close then.

Now that we beat Texas. I’m ready to revisit this conversation.

With Baylor’s loss today, we are right back in it. Still will likely take a win in Norman, though.

Simplest scenarios:

ISU wins out + Baylor OR OSU loss = ISU in


ISU wins out + Baylor AND OSU win out = ISU out

I say root against Baylor and Oklahoma State next week. Losses by them give us a shot even if we drop another game.

 

[FeedBreece]

Simplest scenarios:

ISU wins out + Baylor OR OSU loss = ISU in


ISU wins out + Baylor AND OSU win out = ISU out

And both play Oklahoma.

Simplest scenarios:

ISU wins out + Baylor OR OSU loss = ISU in


ISU wins out + Baylor AND OSU win out = ISU out

How about: ISU wins out, OU loses to Baylor, ISU & OSU and Baylor loses to K State in Manhattan the week after beating OU? We play OSU in the title game then, right?

How about: ISU wins out, OU loses to Baylor, ISU & OSU and Baylor loses to K State in Manhattan the week after beating OU? We play OSU in the title game then, right?

Yes, any loss by Baylor + ISU win out = CCG against Bedlam winner.

Yes as the 2 seed Vs 1 seed Okie State

As vulnerable as OU is, I just don’t see them losing out. But I don’t see them winning out either.

 

[Beyerball]

bottom line is if we win out and are in 3 way tie for 2nd place we are in..

only way we don’t get in is if we are in a 2way tie with Baylor..

Yea I have a hard time seeing OU losing 3 in row.. Def be rooting hard for OU v Baylor as that would eliminate Baylor and then following week OU might overlook ISU with Bedlam following week..

Let's get by TTech. They are capable enough to beat us at their house.

Not disagreeing with some of the things you said, but I think people are dissing Baylor, or at least not giving them credit considering what they've done so far. To say that game should have never been close is a stretch, imo. Now did we start out badly, and could/should have won? Yes. Texas had alot of 'almost' explosive plays against them, and I don't care what Texas's record is, their running back is outstanding and Baylor kept him under wraps. Not to mention deal with a couple of their speedy receivers. Will our defense be able to say the same? Hope so! But I'm thinking we might have to score in the 40's to win. Hope I'm wrong tho. (Maybe I've let last week's defense really get to me?)

Where in the h___ was that defense last week? Rose THAT big of difference? Obviously I was wrong and we didn't need 40, heck we only needed 10. Sure was fun watching the 30 tho. Again...I still think Baylor is legit & will give OU a good game and could even win. Regardless of the TCU loss. And maybe if I post it here, they will stumble just so I can sound dumb again. Because we do need OU to win, correct? For several reasons.

Ranked in who I would want to see in the championship game.
1. Baylor - think we are better than them.
2. OU- We have their number as of late and young, but talented QB we can confuse.
3. OSU- think they are the best team in the conference.

 

[allfourcy]

We've proven our vulnerability at Baylor and especially at WVirginia. So you are so right.
Play spirited, smart, and w/great effort and we win.

Aaron Rogers STILL owns the Bears.

So another way to think about this one week at a time is if:

(1) Iowa State wins at Texas Tech, and
(2) Oklahoma wins at Baylor OR TCU wins at Oklahoma State, then
Iowa State controls its CCG destiny - win the last two and in with no more help needed.

I've been taking it one game at a time, but I can only do so much.
