I guess since we lost the CCG and Mizzou didn't. Funny stuff that. Quote Link to comment

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Who cares at this point. It's all a moot point now that Conference play is over and we're on our way to the Big 10 2 Quote Link to comment
schuhbdoo Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It is one final way for Beebe to screw us. Big 12 rules should have been in place that state: The loser of the Big 12 Championship is automatically awarded second place in the Big 12. This has huge implications for bowls and it screwed NU this year. OKie St, MISSYOU and Texas A & M all stay home since they didn't qualify and don't have the loss go against their overall standings or lower their BCS rankings. Further evidence that this BCS System is very flawed. It very well may be correct that it counts as a conference loss but they can't say we weren't number one above Mizzou. I don't think Mizzou played in the game. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 So i guess we finished the 08 season in 1st since Missouri finished 5-4 (loss to OU in ccg) and we finished 5-3. Curious to see how that season is listed. Quote Link to comment

This has huge implications for bowls and it screwed NU this year. This is completely inaccurate. I think EVERY sportswriter in the world makes it perfectly clear when they make their bowl projections that just because a bowl matchup says: SEC #3 vs. Big 12 #2 . . . it does not mean that they are obligated to take the second-place Big 12 team. It means they get the second CHOICE of Big 12 teams and can take a 6-6 team over an 12-1 team if they so desire. Quote Link to comment
hskerholic Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Its because NU and MU tied and M comes before N in the alphabet. If you look at the south standings I bet the top three go OU OSU TAM. Due to the alphabet. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 this is so stupid, they can kiss my a$$, Big 12 is no longer relevant. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Bowls don't care about 2nd place or whatever, it's 2nd choice. The bowl that gets 2nd dibs on Big 12 teams can pick any bowl eligible team they want that isn't taken, and accepts. Nothing to do with the Big 12 and I think we are considered the runner up here.

cvaughn Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 this is so stupid, they can kiss my a$$, Big 12 is no longer relevant. Apparently it is still relevant to some of you or this thread would have never started. You all are moving on to bigger and better things, so who gives a rats @ss?!?! The big 12 has been a joke for years and everyone knows it! Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Guys, this is just a matter of percentages. Their computer is just spitting out numbers. Our win percentage in the Big XII is lower than Missouri's according to their computer, and that's why we have the second spot. Missouri 6-2 = .750 winning percentage Nebraska 6-3 = .666 winning percentage That's your explanation. It doesn't take the fact that the CCG was post-season play into account for this simple, non-binding standings report. It's entirely computer-generated. No conspiracy. Quote Link to comment
fro daddy Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Nebraska= .666 I knew you guys were a bad influence on me.... Quote Link to comment
