I'm laughing at the Pokes breaking out the rule book and trying to decipher it. They're all scratching their heads.

It's pretty cut and dry yet none of them can agree. Kind of reminds me of a bunch of monkey's trying to f a football!...

They're barely smart enough to pour a bowl of cereal. The tie-breaker rules must seem like quantum physics to them.

Maybe retailers will give out simplified tie-breaker pamphlets at Wal-Mart and feed stores.

Instead of making a solid factual explanation some of them say stuff like OU is eliminated based on #2. I know what a duece is and taking a #2 and things of that nature but unless those brainless sheep humpers are going to state why the hell they think #2 or 3, 4, 5....applies...they are again just a bunch of folks who's only reality will come when they see their Team didn't get to go to Dallas and represent the South. Should this be the case....that thread and I'm sure many others and even some on our own board should become quite entertaining.

There was a Poke last night on The Morning Animals Facebook site trying to say that Brandon Weeden has already had a better season than Josh Heupel in 2000.
Seriously, these people have no football logic or perspective.

you should have said that struggling to reach the Mendoza line, and having hands of stone in the field does not equate to having a better season than Heupel in 2000.

Nope. You're the one wrong here.

Tiebreaker #1 means you take the overall records of the three teams involved and compare them.

In other words, if all three teams DON'T have identical overall records, YOU DON'T HAVE A THREE-WAY TIE and thus the tiebreaker rules become IRRELEVANT.

I also find it incredibly ironic that a thread making fun of Aggy for misunderstanding the tiebreaker rules proceeds to misunderstand the damn rules in the process.

THAT IS NOT TRUE. Their records against each other means how they performed "against EACH other," which would all put us at 1-1. Overall records don't have anything to do with this. #6 is where the overall win % (overall record) intervenes.

This. If #1 was overall record then they wouldn't have added #6. You look at the records against each other because let's say OU had beaten both the other 3 way tie teams they would go.

I know it doesn't make a lot of sense on why the overall record is lower than #1 but it doesn't really matter because most likely the BCS ranking will already take overall record into account.

http://www.big12sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10410&ATCLID=1546006

Divisional Champion: The (eligible) team with the best winning-percentage of all divisional members in its eight conference games is declared the divisional champion and representative to the Dr Pepper Big 12 Conference Football Championship Game. A team ineligible under NCAA or Big 12 rules for postseason (bowl) competition shall not compete in the Championship Game.

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

If two teams are tied, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative

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 conference play shall be the representative in the Big 12 Championship Game, unless two of the tied teams are ranked within one spot of the other in the BCS poll. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the Big 12 Championship Game.

The team with the best overall winning percentage (excluding exempted games) shall be the representative.

The representative will be chosen by draw.

OK, so first rule is you have to have identical records in all conference games for it to be a tie. A&M still has to play Nebraska and Texas. Assuming one of the two is a loss, that dumps them out of a potential tie. The only tiebreaker left is head-to-head result.

If A&M manages to beat both Nebraska (at Kyle Field, so not impossible), and Texas, then head-to-head among the three is first. Assuming we beat the Pokes (and they beat Kansas), then yes, all three would be 1-1 against the other two.

Next is record in-division. In our hypothetical scenario that would be:
OSU 4-1
A&M 4-1
OU 4-1

Next would be comparing records vs. the next highest-ranked teams in the division, in order.

First, Baylor. All three beat Baylor.
Then Tech - we all beat Tech.
Then UT (ha ha!) - we all would have beat UT in this scenario.

Next tie-breaker is record vs. all common conference opponents. There are no common opponents in the north division among OU, OSU, and A&M, so this is identical to south division record. (OR: depending on how this is applied, Nebraska could be the tiebreaker. A&M and OSU both played Nebraska. A&M won, OSU lost. This COULD knock OSU out of the picture, leaving a tie between OU and A&M. In which case we lose the head-to-head tiebreaker.)

Next tiebreaker is BCS ranking, with the out that head-to-head decides if the highest two teams are within one ranking of each other. As it stands now, OSU would take the BCS tiebreaker.

GottaHavePride

1. The way he applied rule #4 (record vs. all common conference opponents) in the bold parenthesis is probably wrong.

2. OSU might be ranked ahead of us now, but if we were to beat them we would definitely go ahead of them.

The main question now is, how exactly do you apply this "record vs. all common conference opponents" ? If it has to be common with all 3 schools, then it would come down to BCS standings.

I guess that record vs. common opponents thing needs some interpretation. I don't see how you can eliminate a team if all three teams didn't play the same common opponent. If that's the case it's going to come down to BCS standing, in which case, we would pass losur if we beat them at thier place.

Laugh at the Pokes all you want - I live in Tulsa so I'm surrounded by them - but they are the only team in the South that controls their own destiny. Everyone else still in contention (including us) has to hope for a few things to happen to make it to the title game. The Pokes, on the other hand, just have to win out.

For OU to go, either the Pokes must beat Kansas or Texas A&M must lose one of their final games, in addition to us winning out.

For Texas A&M to go, they need OSU to drop the Bedl@m game (or lose both) and us to beat Baylor to force a three-way tie, in addition to them winning out. Or, OSU can lose out and they can either have the tiebreaker over or us solely (regardless of whether we beat Baylor or not) if they win out.

Reading really is fundamental. But writing is even more fundamental. This is written terribly. TexAgs points out how bad the "Texas rule" is worded.

quote:
Assuming us and OU win out, does #5 say that if we are only one spot behind OU in the BCS rankings, we go by virtue of head-to-head? The tiebreaker rules changed this year.

The way its written is a little sketchy. Technically lets say OU was #5, and Texas A&M and Oklahoma State were #22 and #23. The way its written makes it sound like if any of the 3 teams are within 1 spot of each other, then you just compare the highest 2, which by head-to-head would be A&M over OU (and would be a ridiculous result).

1998 was about a billion years ago, give or take. You'll have to forgive Aggies' sketchy memories on what it takes to win the Big 12 South. It's been awhile since they've done it.

As for Pokes, they'll probably start a debate on who will win the Big 12 South next year after they inevitably choke. You'll have to forgive them too - they were completely irrelevant in the conference shakeup discussion and were just piggybacking on us.

Go back and watch his performance at k-state that season. Go watch how he handled that blitz time after time. And this was against IMO the 2nd best team in the nation that season. Not to mention we actually went undefeated and said OU QB had to lead his team from behind more than once at College Station.

Weeden is having a great year but let's get some perspective Pokes.

Shall I bring up the Poke fans I know who actually buy hats of teams that beat OU and wear them about as if they're somehow living vicariously through said team?
How about the dooshrockets at my gym who wore the West Virginia t-shirts around a few years ago? I hoped with all my heart that they were actually WV fans and not once again fine examples of Poke knobs in full little brother hate...ah but alas, I saw one of them wearing his true oSu shirt later in the year.

Or if they were already fans of said school. Some poeple have more than 1 favorite team. I always liked WV when they had Pat White and Steve Slaton, now Noel Devine but that would probably translate to me liking specific players and not teams.

the "over 40" crowd has mellowed, somewhat.

You are in the minority. The description given about osu fans fits every poke fan I know except 2... and that's counting you. I used to rout for OSU as a second team (cause it's an Oklahoma school) until i got around some OSU fans and learned what it meant to be a poke. Their hatred for OU is greater than their love of OSU.

I agree that some OSU fans are that way and usually its during the seasons where we are sucking. Honestly, I cheered for OU a few times. One of those times was when OU was playing the bugger eater from missouri.......chase daniels. Typically, I am indifferent toward what happens with OU unless it benefits OSU in some way.

OSU should let OU win. OSU is used to losing, whereas OU is not. It would just work out best for everyone to not drift from the status quo.

Yea, OSU should not try to win the big 12 because it makes their little brother from the south upset.:pop:

Yes, you read that correctly - your Big 12 South leading team was going to be bussed to Kansas till your oil tycoon saved you. :D:D:D:D:D:D

Kansas is not that far way. It does not really matter.....and I am sure it was more of a kind gesture. ;)

Odd, I am picturing the Cleveland Indian plane and bus from the "Major League" movie when I'm thinking of Poke football travel accommodations now :P

Your big orange brothers don't own trailers. We are more worried about the excessive amount of mullets approaching Stillwater and the lack of Walmarts to temporarily employ them.:D ;)

My gf goes to OSU and lives in Stillwater. I've been to Walmarts up there multiple times and those OSU fans seem to like Walmart just as much as the next person. I really don't get all the Walmart, Trailer, Mullet, Redneck, No tv having, jokes from both OSU and Saxet....Just seems a bit hypocritical...

I don't think anyone thinks the OU alumni are these type of people. We like to poke fun at your mullet fans and we know thats why you fill your stadium to around 90k. :D ;)

Actually I looked it up and for the trailer park point, Stillwater has ten trailer parks, Norman has ten trailer parks, however; Norman has over double the population of Stillwater. Just thought I'd put the trailer park mullet theory to rest for you. Anything else?

If the Pokes can consistently field teams good enough to cheer for, then the general public will start to pull for them and the OSU fans will need to drop the elitist "we're better cuz we're alums of our college team" BS. We'll see....

That's the part that gets me. Yes, the many of their fans are grads or at least attended oSu but I know just as many that did not.
This is a myth simply because they don't have as large of a base.

It's hard to compete against decades and decades of winning and being the school/program that put the state on the map.

Mullets keep your neck warmer and aren't as embarrassing as Snuggies.

Get better teams consistently and you too can fill your stadium.

A lot of those trailer parks in Norman are full of Mexicans too. We all know those guys are Saxet fans anyways...:D

You know what's cute to me? The osu people all think getting to the top is the easy part. Talk to me in 5 years and lets see if they are still contenders. I will guarantee that OU still will be.

actually i live here and stillwater has more than 10 trailer parks, i can think of easily double that number and there are probably more.... then there is 40 north apartments, southern heights, and the ville.
