Re: TCU -30;5

Wonder what a bet on the Clones straight up would pay.

Re: TCU -30;5

I don't like to bet, but I can't see how ISU covers this. The defense that was bad has turned non-existent. The hash marks may make as many tackles as the defense in this one. It makes me very sad to say that, because I know the coaches and players are out there fighting for stops on every play, but the way this team misses tackles and overruns plays has gotten comical.

Re: TCU -30;5

It'll be interesting to see where TCU lands Tuesday night when the latest playoff rankings come out. Either way, I'm sure style points are a given.

I think we beat the spread (I've been half serious saying we win and break the system again).

KSU/BU will be a good one. Is that officially for big 12 title?

At least a share. If KSU wins, then TCU wins the conference with a victory over ISU. Baylor controls their own destiny. KSU is the champion with a win and TCU loss (lulz).

TCU wont lose, and they will share the title with the winner of the KSU/Baylor game. The tiebreakers only apply to bowl pecking order.

In the first 4 season of doing the round robin, it has only happened once, in 2012, and it will happen again this season. In 2012, KSU and OU split at 8-1, even though KSU won the head to head. KSU got the nod to the Fiesta Bowl because of the tiebreaker. See: http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=10410&ATCLID=205435204

Only real question is when does TCU pull thier key players to avoid them getting injured.

At BOL, line started at 33 and has moved down to 30.5, in the past 1 hr. 5 Dimes has it at 30. I think ISU would be the smart bet.

TCU will need style points. They will play hard the entire game.

Not sure about that.

Just how many style points do you get for blowing out ISU?

The two teams they are competing with for the 4th spot both had their QB's get injured.

Good chance KSU will knock off Baylor if Petty is still out with a concussion.

Can OSU beat Wisconsin with their third string QB? I don't think so.

Control the game. Rack up a comfortable win. Get out of the game without any injuries to key players. And see how the other two games play out.

TCU has a winning hand even without blowing ISU out.

They scored 80+ on Texas Tech; I'm just hoping that doesn't happen against us but I'm not holding my breath.

I couldn't disagree more. TCU kicks 8 hours before the other games. They will have to have the type of game where the committee says "sure that beat lowly ISU, but did you see how they did it"
