So what’s the tie breaking scenario if….OU wins out beating WVU. UT wins out. WVU wins out with exception of Ou game 

Could the b12 fuck us and let 1 loss WVU in over us?

Big 12 Football Tiebreaking Procedures 

Two-Team Tie

1. If two teams are tied for first place both teams will participate in the championship game and the winner of the head-to-head will be the #1 seed. If there is not a tie for first place, but two teams are tied for second place, the two-team tiebreaker policy will apply, and the winner will be the #2 seed and visiting team.

  1. If no game is played between the two tied teams or that game ends in a tie, the following tie-breaking procedures shall be applied.

2. Win percentage against the next highest placed common opponent in the standings (based on record in all games played within the Conference), proceeding through the standings.

  1. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s win percentage against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure) rather than the performance against individual tied teams.

3. Win percentage against all common conference opponents. 

4. Combined win percentage in conference games of conference opponents (ie, strength of conference schedule). 

5. Total number of wins in a 12-game season. The following conditions will apply to the calculation of the total number of wins:

  1. Only one win against a team from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision or lower division will be counted annually.
  2. Any games that are exempted from counting against the annual maximum number of football contests per NCAA rules. (current Bylaw 17.10.5.2.1) shall not be included. 

6. Highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team Rating Score metric) following the last weekend of regular-season games.

7. Coin toss 

Multiple-Team Ties

In the event of a tie between more than two teams, the following procedures will be used. After one team has an advantage and is “seeded”, all remaining teams in the multiple-team tiebreaker will repeat the multiple-team tie-breaking procedure. If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure will be applied.

1. Head-to-head (best cumulative win percentage in games among the tied teams). If not, every tied team has played each other, go to step 2. 

2. Record against the next highest placed common opponent in the standings (based on record in all games played within the conference), proceeding through the standings.

  1. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, use each team’s win percentage against the collective tied teams as a group (prior to that group’s own tie-breaking procedure) rather than the performance against individual tied teams.

3. Win percentage against all common conference opponents (must be common among all teams involved in the tie).

4. Combined win percentage in conference games of conference opponents (ie, strength of conference schedule).

5. Total number of wins in a 12-game season. The following conditions will apply to the calculation of the total number of wins:

  1. Only one win against a team from the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision or lower division will be counted annually. 
  2. Any games that are exempted from counting against the annual maximum number of football contests per NCAA rules. (current Bylaw 17.10.5.2.1) shall not be included.

6. Highest ranking by SportSource Analytics (team Rating Score metric) following the last weekend of regular-season games.

7. Coin toss 

Looks like it would go down to rule 5, and they lost to Penn State so we're in in that case.

Also sets up an interesting scenario where OU might be better off to lose to WVA so they get to play them again in the championship game and duck us and win the big 12.

OU would be playing with fire and could potentially miss the playoffs all together as a one loss team. They wouldnt do that. 

I think there is a lot of football to be played before we start wondering if we’re going to be jumped by anyone for the Big 12 title game.

Agreed, this thread is oh about 5-6 weeks premature

Yeah, I don't think they'll do it, but it might be best for them.

Similar to Westlake, they will go to the big division of 6A unless Bowie finishes 4th in district, so if they would rather have a 6A-Div2 championship rather than losing to North Shore or Duncanville they should tank against Bowie.

Sunday morning drinking and Surly posting is not my go-to after a loss but I like OP's moxie.

The chance of the tiebreaker going past step 4 is unlikely. We were discussing this scenario in the Don't Fuck Around thread.

I made it two sentences in before my head started hurting. This tiebreaker bullshit is literally everything wrong with our society nowadays. They pick a player, we pick a player. 3 minutes in the cage. Whoever has the real man advances.
