2024 Big 12 Championship Game Projections

[Pitt_Clone]

Just saw Keith Murphy say that the winner of the Big 12 Championship game is "likely" in the CFP. It's not automatic?

Yes, it’s automatic. Tulane’s loss made it so

 

[CascadeClone]

The rankings this next week should be wild and then could be for the final CFP selections.
A lot of these top teams are absolutely vulnerable.

Feels like Oregon and MAYBE Texas and Georgia are elite. Everyone else, like 15 teams, are good but within a field goal of each other.

Oh I thought it was automatic regardless.

And I wouldn't be shocked to see any of them have at least an interesting first game.

Oregon needed some late game heroics to beat a bad WI team a few weeks ago, and Texas and Georgia have had their moments.

It is not automatic. The top 4 seeds go to the 4 highest ranked conference champions. The next 8 seeds go to the 8 highest ranked teams.

If Oregon, SMU, Texas, and Boise State are the 4 highest ranked conference champions, they get the top 4 seeds. Notre Dame would be 5, the next 7 highest ranked teams outside those 5 would be the remaining 7 teams. So the Big 12 champs could be ranked, say, 14th and they don’t get in. No conference has automatic bid.

You are incorrect. The top 5 conference champions are selected, not top 4. Top 4 get byes.

Georgia needed a lot of bad missed calls to beat an OK-ish Georgia Tech at home in 8 OTs.

Come on BYU, no more stupid turnovers

I'm not sure what the language is but the Big 12 champ should be somewhere in the field.
I'm not sure I'd be listening to Kieth Murphy on this kind of thing. Isn't he a Hok goober who wants nothing more than for ISU to not get credit?

 

[CloneinWDSM]

A TD there probably iced it. Now we have to sweat.

 

[LAClone]

Loving this hot cougar-on-cougar action. Sad Mormon cougar loosened the straps a bit instead of going full dom.

JFC BYU

!!!!

 

[CYphyllis]

I have no issues with BYU, why are they trying so ******* hard for me to hate them.

 

[herbicide]

What has ISU done to upset the football gods and how can we return to their good graces???

Oops, my bad you’re right.

 

[khardbored]

Oops.

 

[cysmiley]

BYU trying to keep Houston in the game, ugh

 

[Nor'MidWester]

Even when we win it's still stressful
