Clinched bye?

[ouradu]

BBS and the tv announcers said we clinched a first round bye in the big XII tourney. Did anyone else hear this? That just can't be so. I figured the worst case scenario for us and we can finish as low as 8th in the conference. Won't happen, but technically we could. Explain to me how we've clinched a bye.

We certainly didn't clinch a bye, but with both Cola-Rada and Nebbish losing today, our chances of skipping Thursday in Dallas became much, much better.
