Why in god's name would you want this team to go to the playoff?  It would be no different than one of us stepping into the ring with mike tyson in his prime or a #16 seed in the NCAA tournament.  It wouldn't be fun, it would be a joke.

Maybe we would want them in the playoff so we have a chance of winning a Natty? :dunno:
TCU is the big 12s best shot and I know it. I want a confy and fiesta.

This thread.....and all of the math equations, percentages, derivatives, congruent triangles, fractions, long divisions, square roots, and a whole lot of long winded doggy poo poo.......blows.

We are not going to the playoff.

Lets just beat Baylor and share the big 12 crown, then we can celebrate like the OU dorks did when they shared w/ us, and we can have the TCU dorks make fun of us.

To keep up w/ the thread, I give our chance to beat Baylor at...........11.256%

PIPE don't make me get the PIPE Cleaner out
He has a point with all of us claiming it's going to happen.

I don't think anybody's claiming it's going to happen... Simply that it could happen.  We basically need a 3-team moneyline parlay to hit with a 9 pt dog (us), a 4 pt favorite and a 4 pt dog with us controlling our destiny in the most unlikely of the 3 scenarios.

Let that sink in for a minute.

This is why timhawk likes to play parlays.

I'm sure it has been said in this dumb thread, but even if we beat Baylor by 4 TDs the committee won't rank us ahead of a two-loss 'Bama or a one-loss FSU.

Definitely Arizona. I doubt they would bump Oregon out if they lost to the same team twice and there were no other one loss teams besides FSU.

You're a rough ridin' idiot.

We both said Arizona needs to lose. I'm not sure what your rough ridin' deal is bad person.

He thought you meant definitely Arizona (needs to win), just a misinterpretation.
Still an bad person.  :Ugh:

They definitely would.  The question is whether they would jump Wisconsin over us because they don't want two big twelve teams in.

No, no they wouldn't. Everyone is acting like this is the poll-dependent BCS.

I disagree wholeheartedly.  I'm not sure what they'd do about putting a 2 loss SEC team in if Mizzou pulls the miracle, but they've been looking for a way to leave FSU out.

With that said, I think the Criminoles ass rape the Jackets tonight.  (Winston joke not implied)

Possibly for FSU, but no way they look at Bama vs KSU based on the whole season and pick us. If they lose today they still have a far better resume than us. We won't get that much credit for a shared big 12 when the team we share it with embarrassed us.

Ok maybe not Alabama but who cares because there isn't a chance in hell they lose.  But Florida State is definitely out if they lose. They've pretty much have already made that clear. Wisconsin or the 'Cats would be in.

The winner of Wisc - OSU will take it if there is a spot open.

They have a bad loss to Northwestern so hopefully not!

Sorry I just got really bummed when I saw the chairman of the committee on gameday. I let myself have hope that if everything went right we could get in, but now I don't feel like that anymore.

I don't think it really matters but Missouri has no chance of getting in regardless.

That there is no way a team like K-State gets in ahead of a blue-blood with the same or better record.
