Holy crap Baylor has a ton of false starts.

[Functianalyst]

The obvious worst  case scenario will be K-State losing last 2 games:

If UT beats TCU there would be a  3-way tie for 3rd with OU and UT ;
If TCU loses  to UT, the Wildcats finish undisputed 3rd;
TCU beats UT there will be a 3-way tie for 2nd with OU and UT. 

The more realistic scenarios would be:

BU wins, TCU loses (K-State ties for 2nd);
BU and TCU win (undisputed  2nd);
K-State wins, TCU wins (tie for 1st);
K-State wins, TCU loses (undisputed champs)

Crazier things have happened, but this starts with K-State not  overlooking next week’s game.

Playoff scenarios
SEC Champ - At least one of Georgia/Mississippi St/Bama are in ahead of us
Florida St - Would have to lose out, which won't happen, so they are in

What would have to happen for K-State to even have a chance:
K-State wins out
TCU loses to Texas
Ohio St loses in Champ game (likely Wisconsin)
UCLA loses to Stanford
Whatever SEC team wins the conference wins out (Bama as the example)
Mississippi St loses to Ole Miss
Georgia loses to Bama in Champ game
Pac 12 South winner beats Oregon

Even with all of that happening K-State would be competing with Oregon, Pac 12 South winner, TCU, Mississippi St, Wisconsin, Ohio St and Michigan St for 2 spots.  At that point, the committee will have to choose between a crap show of going with conference champions or head to heads.  If all but one of the list above happens, there is likely one spot K-State will have a shot at.  Although we would be conference champs, I don't think K-State will win a CFB beauty contest with those teams.

I can't stand how rough ridin' stupid all of you idiots are. Here's what is going to happen (I've saved everyone the trouble of running a bunch of scenarios that aren't going to happen).

Alabama, Ohio state and Oregon are going to win out. They are in.

Florida State is going to lose to Florida. They're out, the committee knows they suck.

Kstate is going to win out tcu is going to lose. Kstate is in. [Really Baylor will win out and get in]

Neither Mississippi team, nor the winner of the downs syndrome sec east, is winning out, they are out.



Your welcome.

A quick note on the Okie lite and Baylor game--did anyone else notice they scored 2 touchdowns in their first 3 plays from scrimmage?

OSU pulled a Freshman QB's redshirt for the game.  After Baylor scored on their second play, I half expected them to say eff it and stick with Garman.

My only guess on that was that Gunday was thinking "eff it, I won't be around for this guys Senior year anyway"...

There are so many scenarios other than the one you outlined which would get us in the playoff.  But, it is only possible if we are sole Big 12 champs.  So, there are only three "must win" games.  Us v. KU; Us v. BU; and UT v. TCU.

If those three things occur (a big IF, mind you), it is probable that we make the playoffs.

Go Beavers, go Cardinal, go Gators, go Wolverines, go Rebels, go Tigers (Auburn), and HOOK 'EM!

There are scenarios in which all but one happens and we get in, but otherwise that's it.  If we win the conference, it is far from probably we get in.  If the favorites win out, every other major conference champion will be ahead of us.

It is unlikely that the favorites all win out.  It would be extremely odd if that happened.  The odds say that 2 or 3 of the top 6 will lose this weekend.  It is probably just as likely that four of the top 6 lose this weekend as all six of the top ranked teams win this weekend.  And that is just this weekend.

I was discouraged to see Arizona, UCLA, and ASU so high.  It seems as if the Pac winner would probably be ahead of us (assuming we are sole conference champions).  And, even if MU wins the SEC, I still think the SEC will get one spot in the playoffs.  That leaves two spots open, though.  Assuming Bama and/or Miss. St loses this week, I don't think the SEC is getting two.  A one loss Florida State team would be interesting; it would help us if that one loss was in the ACC championship.  (Two losses by FSU would be better.)  Ohio State, assuming they beat MU, will hardly be favored (if at all) over Wiscy (assuming Wiscy beats Minnesota).  Really awesome for the Big 12 would be if Minnesota won the Big 10.  Crazier things have happened.

By this time next week, I still think that everybody will be talking about the winner of the BU/KSU game as getting a spot in the playoffs (assuming TCU loses).  I predict substantial carnage this weekend.

I think Georgia is going to lose to G Tech.

[sunny_cat]

After reading this thread, pretty convinced we're going to the playoff. Feels good.

Feels great.  Can't wait to start bitching about our seed.

[GoodForAnother]

the opportunity exists for mass chaos in CFB this week and next.  it'll be fun to watch either way.

[ChiComCat]

No odds say 2 or 3 of the top 6 will lose this weekend.

[Bookcat]

TCU is in the playoff.....so...that puts us in the Cotton Bowl if we beat Baylor, right?

NO way the Cotton wants Baylor there. Terrible fanbase...terrible people...terrible colors... Just everything. ....

If we lose to Baylor (big if)...  Kstate falls to the Alamo. Big XII Bowls are awful.

Is Briles clever enough to pull a Snyder and make us prepare for the wrong quarterback or two quarterbacks?
