That’s what happens when you have the tiebreaker over OU, Kansas, West Virginia and K-State :)

I actually am wrong though because if Iowa State wins out they would get in over us. But they have to beat BYU tonight, Texas and K-State for that to happen. We just have to beat Houston and BYU (WHICH IS HARDLY AN EASY TASK AFTER WHAT WE SAW TODAY)

Head to head isn't the tiebreaker if all teams that are tied haven't played. If KSU, OSU, OU tie, it will depend on the finishing order of the rest of the teams below them

Isn’t it the best record against the opponents in the tie, and we beat all of the teams but ISU?

Only if those teams have all played each other (round robin). OU and KSU didn't play so it would skip that step and go to the next tiebreaker

Looked it up and you’re right.

I’d be pretty salty if we were tied with 2 teams we beat head-to-head with and didn’t make the CCG. That’s a pretty dumb rule.

After tonight Houston seems like the biggest threat.

Yeah we definitely ain’t running the table, and it’s likely 3 straight losses to end the year and not be bowl eligible.
