2024 Big 12 Championship Game Projections
- Thread starter Dale
- Start date
I know it’s a long shot we’d get two teams in now but does a two loss team that didn’t get into the CCG have a better shot than a three loss runner up.
He didnt get the parity he needed, but he got the parody that he deserved.
And with all these stupid tiebreakers for these stupid super conferences, look for lots more parody in the future.
It doesn’t matter how we got here, doesn’t matter how ugly it’s been for much of the season, doesn’t matter how bad we’ve played in so many games, doesn’t matter how easy the schedule was… we found a way to win and now have an opportunity in front of us.
Go back to the thread early in the season “how good is this team”? Im still not sure, but what I do know is bad teams find a way to lose games, and good teams find a way to win them. We’ve found a way to win this year a lot.
Let’s find a way to win one more time against KSU and see what happens the rest of the season.
Looks to me like the big 12 champ is destined for that 12 seed in the CFP, that’s a tough spot. We may be a 20 point dog in that road game if we make it, but I want to be there regardless.
Go cyclones.

Maybe if its Deion and Company.
Heisman candidate / winner might make a difference?
Eyeballs > eye test > record > quality wins > deserving. So maybe.
It is frustrating that the current playoff predictions have the Big 12 champ projected as the 12 seed and Boise State as #4.
We'll soon find out. ASU and ISU are moving up the rankings after all the upsets. If ISU moves way up this week to around #14 or # 15 and KSU re-enters the CFP rankings, then I think ISU would have slight chance for an at-large if we were to beat KSU handily but still get left out of the CCG.
Are they going to keep ISU behind a bunch of the 3-loss SEC teams? If they do, then our chances of an at-large are nil.

0% chance a 2 loss Big 12 team is getting in that doesn't play in conference title game. With that said, like someone said previously, the only school that could have pulled that off was Colorado but they now have three losses and are out unless they back into the conference championship game.
Here is another site to mess around with
Everything I’ve ran with this has iowa state in with a win. Maybe I’m missing something.
I’m like 90% sure we are in a “win-and-in” situation.

ESPN says thee is a chance that 8 teams could be tied atop of the Big 12 come next Sunday morning. Wouldn’t that be fun. I want a recount.
Yikes.
This sport needs serious, considered reform when this all could be so much easier and clearer.

So, with the game times finally set, imagine the ulcers in this scenario:
Colorado, Texas Tech, and Kansas all win the early games
Arizona State wins just before ISU kicks off
TCU knocks off Cincinnati as Iowa State is well into the second half
Iowa State manages to win another white-knuckler around 10 pm
Then all Cyclone Nation has to do is wait until after midnight to see if BYU can win in Provo to get us to Arlington

This is not that unlikely other than Houston over BYU, but if BYU isn’t playing to get in do they have as much motivation to win?
