you need colo. to lose a game, and WVU not to win out.
If Utah beats Colorado and West Virginia wins out (Baylor, UCF, Texas Tech), look what the Big 12 Championship would be

The sad thing is, if WVU wins the big 12 with 4 losses, the big 12 will be shut out of the CFP.
Interesting twist about WVU! Multi-team tie-breakers can be a *****.
FWIW, while I hope ISU wins out for this to be a problem, I highly doubt it will, so...
I am rooting for BYU to win for reasons.
I am rooting for Colorado to lose for other reasons.
I don't care whether WVU wins or loses.
What is funny though is that if the nightmare scenario of West Virginia winning the Big XII happens, it would be just ANOTHER year where Iowa State has beaten the Big 8 / Big XII Champion! I can think of 1992 (Nebraska), 2011 (Oklahoma State), 2017 (Oklahoma) and 2020 (Oklahoma) off the top of my head. I am sure there are others. Not to mention beating B1G Champion Iowa in 1981 and 2002!
Finally, if 4 loss West Virginia beats Undefeated BYU, they still might sneak in as the 5th best Conference Champion if Army loses to ND, or BYU could be selected as an at-large if the AAC Champion (Undefeated Army or Tulane) are ranked higher than WVU.
I'm not worried about any of this. I just want Iowa State to beat the Bearcats today, improve to (8-2) and rejoin the CFP rankings on Tuesday!
Let's Go State!
