Big XII champs

[tflynn]

Who gets the nod to go to the big XII championship game if nebraska wins out and thats a big if, and colorado beats missouri. if all three of us have the same conf record and miss beat us, while col beat miss, and we beat colorado, what is the tie breaker. I know most likely this probably won't happen, but i was just curious if anybody knows what they look at next.

WHAT? How DARE YOU think postive after a Husker loss? Actually that is a good question!

Here is a post from another poster who posted this on another Husker board

 

The following procedure will determine the representative from each division in the event of a tie:

 

 

(a) If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative;

 

( B ) If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.

 

 

The records of the three teams will be compared against each other;

The records of the three teams will be compared within their division;

The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish - 4, 5 and 6;

The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;

The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big 12 regular-season (intra-) conference play shall be the representative;

The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games - e.g. 12th games such as Kickoff Classic, Pigskin Classic, Hawaii, etc.] shall be the representative;

The representative will be chosen by draw.

 

 

If Missouri, Nebraska, and CU win out, it's a 3 way tie. If CU beats Missouri, NU beats CU, then the following ( B ) tiebreaker rule will be in effect.

 

1-The records of the three teams will be compared against each other

If the teams wins out as mentioned, they will all have a 9-2 record. Moving on to the next rule

 

2-The records of the three teams will be compared within their division

All 3 teams will have won their North Division games except against each other, giving all 3 teams a 4-1 North division record). Move on to the next rule

 

3-The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish - 4, 5 and 6

Unknown at this time. But assuming Kansas St is 3rd, whichever teams loses to Kansas St will be eliminated and rule (A) of the head to head competion takes effect. If All 3 teams beat KSU, then it's team number 5 (example Iowa St) and so on untill one of the 3 teams tied is eliminated. If all 3 teams are still tied, move on to rule number 4

 

4-The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents

This Rule will not be used this year because rule 3 above used a comparion between all North Division teams and did not break the tiebreaker, thus CU, and Missouri will have played Texas, but Nebraska did not play them. Same for CU and MU playing Oklahoma St and Texas A&M, while NU played Baylor and Tech. Move on to the next rule

 

5-The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big 12 regular-season (intra-) conference play shall be the representative

 

This will be the tiebreaker, unless rule's 3 and 4 do not settle it .

 

 

Right now, our best best is for CU and Missouri to lose 1 more game and we continue to win out. Our next best case is CU and NU win out and Missouri loses 1 game and Nebraska beats CU.

We just lost to the worst Def in the big 12 and we are still worried about winning the north.

[DaveH]

Misery has to lose 2 and we have to run the table. Otherwise, we won't get the North.

Actually, I think according to the tie-breaker scenarios, that if CU beats MU, and NU wins out, beating CU, then NU would have the tie breaker and go to the title game. Lots of football left, let's just take it one week at a time, though.

As much as it is going to kill me on the inside we're going to have to cheer for CU to beat MU.

Do you know how hard it was to cheer for CU against UT in the 01 B12 Championship Game????????

Actually no cheering is needed. CU will beat Missouri. Pinkle is 1-3 against BARNETT and with the way the buffs are playing, i don't see Missouri being the bump in the road for them. Then again, Missouri could turn out to be 2004's version of Iowa St and goes on to beat every team (except they actually make the title game unlike ISU). Who would haved thunk it that Iowa St would be co-divison champ last year?
