  1. If you read this whole paragraph together:
     

    "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."

     

    The logical interpretation is:  If 1 team has an advantage, they are in and then start over.  If 2 teams have an advantage, they are both in.

  2. I really don't think the line "If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure will be applied." means pick a #1 seed then start over.

    The 2 team tiebreakers clearly states "If two teams are tied for first place both teams will participate in the championship game"

  3. Ok, I know the conference is saying we haven't clinched but they can't read their own fucking rules.

     

    So in a 3 way tie with Texas, OU, and OSU

    Multiple team tiebreaker rules:

    Step 1: get skipped because we did not all play each other.

    Step 2: Record against the next highest placed common opponent in the standings.  (This is ISU, which Texas and OU beat, and OSU lost)

     

    At this point, you read the intro to the multiple team tiebreaker rules:

    "If at any point the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure will be applied."

    Then you look at the first line of the 2 team tiebreaker rules:

    "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."

     

    Seams pretty clear that OU and Texas go in this scenario.

    No that's not the confusing part. It's very clear that H2H would not be used with those 3.

    The confusing part is if the conference decides to first figure out the 1 seed instead of doing the logical thing and eliminating the #3 team and putting the other 2 in the championship game. 

    In the scenario from the tweet that website assumes OSU is eliminated and locked into #3 position. However, the terribly written and therefore ambiguous tiebreaker rules could be read to say that the next step where OU is the 1 seed is all that is locked in. Then Texas and OSU are analyzed for the second spot. Which would go to OSU because in that comparison OU is the highest placed common opponent. 

    It would be a ridiculous screwjob which is of course why the Big 12 would try to do it to Texas. 

    I'm not seeing how OU gets the #1 seed in this scenario. 

    Step 1 doesn't apply because Texas didn't play OSU. 

    Step 2 doesn't apply because no common opponent comparison puts 1 team ahead of the other 2.

    Step 3 puts Texas in. 

     

    People seem to be making up some combination of step 2 and head to head out of thin air.

    Pretty sure the rules read that you use the flow path until you determine the 1 seed, then start the path over with remaining tied teams.  So yeah. 
     

    as opposed to stopping the path when a team is eliminated, assigning the 2 remaining teams as participants, and then using the flow to determine seed (as if seeding fucking matters).

    Ok, but if that's the case, wouldn't we fall to rule 3. Win percentage against all common conference opponents (must be common among all teams involved in the tie).

    As rule2 doesn't provide a clear #1 seed.

  6. 3 way tie with Texas, OU, OSU:
    common opponents
    ISU [3 losses]   (OSU lost to ISU)
    Kansas [4-5 losses]  (OU lost to KU)
    BYU [7 losses]  (all 3 beat BYU)

     

     

    against common opponents with 3 losses (ISU)

    Texas (1-0), OU (1-0), OSU (0-1)

    The rules get a bit murky here

    i) Texas and OU are in OSU is out, and then OU is #1 seed via head to head against Texas.

    ii) OSU is out, then OU gets #1 seed via head to head against Texas.  Then tiebreaker starts over.  OSU is #2 seed via record against common opponent OU.

    This shit drives me crazy. This is the trash can in the garage:

    The white trash bag is from the kitchen. She will put the kitchen garbage in the garage garbage and waste a garbage bag. The outside trash cans are 50 feet away by the garage door. Yes I removed the white to the outside.

    Wait.  Are you saying your wife will carry a bag of trash from the kitchen out to the garage.  Nice fucking humble-brag.

    1 loss Georgia is a lock right?

    SEC champ or no?

     

    I think 1 loss SEC champ is in regardless.  Georgia loses in the championship game and I could see them getting passed up.

    Doubt it would happen, but if Rhett Lashlee takes another job, it would be hysterical to see Phatterson coaching the ponies... 😋

     

    That would provide maximum lulz if he was remotely successful
