It might lock them into at least 4th place of the conference and the tie breaker vs them would be us and OSU both beating them and OU losing to them.

Here is what the conference website says.
I didn’t make the chart, and am trusting people who have thought about this way more than I have. My guess is that it impacts KSU’s conference standing, thus the ISU/OU tiebreakers.
Okay, I’m square oneing this.
Beat WV and there’s no doubt about championship appearance, right?

Yeah, that is the best option. I like ISU's chances, but it is going to be another good defense, probably the best one we will see all year. Watched the TTU vs OSU game and TTU was moving the ball on OSU with ease. Not sure if they are just missing some guys or what. TTU would have won without a bunch of stupid TO's including a pick 6 and an onside returned for a TD. We have seen TTU do that before.
Here is what the conference website says.
"The Championship Game participants will be determined by the best winning percentages within the conference. In the event of an unbalanced schedule where there is a tie for the best, or second best, record in the loss column, head-to-head results will take precedence over winning percentage as long as the required number of conference games were completed."
There is the clause. OSU needs OU to lose.
Which raises the question of what happens if ISU or its opponent cannot play on 12\19 due to covid concerns.
Would they just declare the champion based on the final standings?
I saw that Ohio State is at risk of not making the B1G Championship because they won't have played enough games if their COVID postponed games can't be played. UM could cancel "due to COVID" and end up keeping the Buckeyes out.
I would hope so. And thatmakes beating WVU all the more important.
Canceling the championship game is a legitimate possibility in my opinion. Just based on the number of games that have been canceledso far and OU already having Covid issues
Beat WVU, cancel against OU, and ISU wins the championship. Let’s do that
It seems once teams get COVID, they are OK. Oklahoma will be OK for the championship game. I'm guessing we are the long shots since we haven't had COVID yet.
Also, isn't it true if Kansas State wins tonight, we are in?
Nothing in the rules on that that I've seen. I'd just declare tied teams co-champions. It's not like the Big XII winner is making the playoffs. Cotton Bowl isn't required to take the Big XII winner so it will just take the higher ranked team anyway.
Not to pile on, but, its "too stupid"...
What would happen if WV couldn’t play us next week.? If they play OU on the 12th, when would we play them?
K-State is still missing their two starting LBs that were out last week and their two starting guards. They are probably going to struggle again tonight vs BU.
We would finish 7-1. Both OU and OSU finish 7-2. The conference would then announce Bedlam 2.0 for the championship because ISU didn't play a full conference schedule. Somehow this would happen.
