Big XII (official thread of whining, and homely herpes-having’ hos)

hell of a basketball conference

Even without any truly premier programs, the juggalos are going to get passed around that conference like Ginger Lynn on an 80s porn set.

I wish I could like twice for bringing back memories of my first childhood crush.

So the Big XII has a 4-way tie for the lead at 6-2, and 5 teams at 6-5.

West Virginia, a 6-5 team, has a chance to play in the CCG. But if they win it, the league would get zero bids because their champion would not be among the 5 highest-ranked conference champions (B1G, SEC, ACC, Mtn West, and the Tulane-Army winner in the American).

If Arizona State beats Arizona, they make the CCG.
If Iowa State beats Kansas St, they make the CCG.
If one of them loses, BYU (playing Houston) and/or Colorado (playing Okie St) could win and make the CCG.

If 3 of those 4 teams lose, a 6-3 conference record will make the CCG and the tiebreakers are complicated.

Expanding the playoff to 12 was a mistake.

Expanding the playoff to 12 was a mistake.

this certainly was a bad season for the argument for it.

 

[BB73]

According to espn, there is a 1-in-1,270 chance of getting an 8-way tie for first place at 6-3.

 

[BB73]

So if you’re a fan of chaos, here is how the 8-way tie could happen.

Colorado (at home) loses to Okie St on Friday.

Saturday noon games:
Baylor (at home) beats Kansas to get to 6-3.
WVU at Texas Tech winner will get to 6-3, loser is out.

Arizona (at home) beats Arizona St at 3:30

TCU wins at Cincy at 6:00

Kansas St wins at Iowa St at 7:30

Houston wins at BYU at 10:15

Colorado, Arizona State and BYU are solid favorites, but the other 3 games that matter could easily happen that way.

Here are the tiebreaker scenarios:

They already updated it after Colorado's win today. What a screwy mess......

 

[BB73]

Looks like if BYU loses later, Colorado will be in the CCG even if ASU and Iowa State both win.
