See if you can wrap your head around this one.
Check out the below scenarios for the fight for the Big 12 Championship. Oh course I am hoping that the stars align for the OU Sooners so they can play for the Big 12 title at Jerry's World on Dec 4th. But it is going to be a tough road. But there is still a chance. Needless to say that I am hoping that Texas A&M looses at least 1 game. And OU wins the remaining 2 games.
Race for the Big 12 title
A look at the teams vying for a spot in the Big 12 title game Dec. 4 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The teams’ conference records are in parenthesis:
North
Nebraska (5-1): The Cornhuskers are closing in on the title after a 20-3 win over Kansas. Nebraska needs only to win one of its final two games to clinch the North crown. The Huskers own the tiebreaker over Missouri by virtue of their 31-17 win Oct. 30 over the Tigers.
Remaining schedule: at Texas A&M (Saturday), home vs. Colorado (Nov. 26).
Missouri (4-2): The Tigers’ North hopes are fading, despite a 38-28 win Saturday over Kansas State. To win the North title, Missouri must win out and hope Nebraska loses its last two games.
Remaining schedule: at Iowa State (Saturday); vs. Kansas (Nov. 27) at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
South
Oklahoma State (5-1): The Cowboys are alone atop the South after cruising past Texas, and OSU is the only team that controls its destiny.
If OSU beats Oklahoma in the final game of the season, the Cowboys are South champs. OSU can clinch the South on Saturday if it beats Kansas and both Oklahoma and Texas A&M lose.
Remaining schedule: at Kansas (Saturday); home vs. Oklahoma (Nov. 27).
Oklahoma (4-2): OU remains in the race after a rout of Texas Tech. If OU wins its final two games, and Texas A&M loses once, OU is South champion. OU also could
win the South via tiebreaker in this scenario: The Sooners win their final two games, Texas A&M wins its final two games, and OSU beats Kansas but loses to OU.
That would create a three-way tie with OU, Texas A&M and OSU. The tiebreaker would be BCS standings. The top team would be champion, unless two teams are side-by-side in the standings.
In that case, the head-to-head winner between those two teams is South champion.
Remaining schedule: at Baylor (Saturday); at Oklahoma State (Nov. 27).
Texas A&M (4-2): The Aggies stayed alive with a road win over Baylor, but they need help.
A&M can win the South title by sweeping its final two games and having OSU lose its final two. If A&M, OU and OSU finish in a three-way tie (via the scenario described above), the tiebreaker would be BCS standings (see above).
Remaining schedule: home vs. Nebraska (Saturday); at Texas (Nov. 25).
