I'm going to love it if all this Lanning to aggy talk causes enough of a distraction for Oregon to drop a game.

In that scenario, I don't think tie breaker 1 applies, because not all of the teams have played each other.
Then you start at the top and go down the rankings looking for an opponent all 4 teams have in common.

Winning the Big 12 championship is what I want. The CFP is icing on the cake and while Texas is good I don't want to see our season end with a drubbing by Georgia or Michigan.
Give me a NY6 bowl game we can win.
You really think we're going to win a bowl game with Ewers, Worthy, Mitchell, Sanders, and Brooks skipping the game to get ready for the draft? Cause that's what will happen if we're not in the CFP. And that's just 1 side of the ball.

You are assuming that TCU can beat Baylor on the road.
Yes, I left off what I consider the easiest win for both tech and tcu. In order to go from 4 to 6 wins, they will have to win TWO more games.
-
So to become bowl eligible tech will have to beat either Kansas or Texas, and tcu will have to beat either Oklahoma or Texas.

I don't get Oregon jumping us. Is beating Utah supposed to be a better win than bama? Is it just because their loss looks a little less bad after the OU loss?

The other two main contenders for TyAnthony were us and USC. Plus LSU already has three LB commits, they are probably full up at the spot.

A week into the saga, most know the details by now: A now-suspended Michigan analyst, Connor Stalions, purchased tickets to more than 40 college football games in an effort to record opponents’ signals in what has been unearthed as an elaborate, three-year scheme that has rocked the sport. In news first reported by Yahoo Sports last Thursday, the NCAA is investigating the program for a violation of the association’s rules around in-person scouting.
Over the last seven days, more news connected to the case has trickled out from various media outlets.
Most recently, the Washington Post reported Wednesday that an outside investigative firm first tipped off the NCAA last week to Michigan’s sign-stealing scheme, presenting officials with documents uncovered from computers maintained and accessed by UM coaches that outlined the system, including travel schedules and expenses for future trips.
On Thursday, the Associated Press reported that NCAA investigators were on campus at Michigan gathering information for the probe.
The breadth of the scheme appears to be massive. Stalions purchased tickets to games at 12 of 13 Big Ten schools for a total of 30 games, according to a Monday report from ESPN. At least one of the schools produced in-stadium surveillance video of someone recording the sideline in the seat Stalions booked. He also purchased tickets to games involving CFP contenders like Tennessee, Georgia, Oregon, Florida and Clemson, as well as the last two SEC championship games, Yahoo Sports reported Tuesday.
In one instance, Stalions bought a ticket to Tennessee’s game against Kentucky last season in view of the Volunteers’ sideline. Three minutes after the purchase, he transferred the ticket, presumably, to an associate or friend designated to record the game.
At TCU, the school has found no evidence that Stalions purchased a ticket to a home game last season, but there were ample opportunities to record the Horned Frogs in road games or in the Big 12 championship against Kansas State.
Not long after the CFP unveiled the 2022 semifinal matchups — Georgia vs. Ohio State and TCU vs. Michigan — the Horned Frogs staff began receiving phone calls from coaches across the country about what was a well-known fact in the Big Ten coaching community: that Michigan had an elaborate sign-stealing system.
Many of those on the TCU staff were unaware before the calls. Coaches from several Big Ten schools, including Ohio State, informed TCU coaches of the scheme.
“Literally everybody we talked to knew,” said one TCU coach. “They’d say, ‘Just so you know, they steal your signals and they’re going to have everything so you better change them.’”
One coach told the staff that Michigan “has the most elaborate signal-stealing in the history of the world.”
TCU changed some of the signals. More interesting, though, is that they purposely used the old signals to trick the Wolverines — a move not-so-surprising given the savvy nature of their head coach. Dykes is a protégé of Mike Leach, a coach known for poking fun at those who steal signals. In one game while coach at Washington State, Leach learned that the coach of his team’s next opponent, Arizona State's Todd Graham, was notorious for stealing signals. During the game against ASU, Leach aggressively flashed signals toward Graham in a hilarious moment that’s made the rounds on social media over the last few days.
Plenty of folks see much of Leach in Dykes. And so why not give the Wolverines some of their own medicine?
Dykes and staff crafted a game plan that, at least in part, used the dummy signals to fool coach Jim Harbaugh and signaler Stalions. TCU scored first-half touchdowns on drives of 10 plays for 83 yards and 12 plays for 76 yards.
“The guy (Stalions) was wrong a couple of times,” one TCU staff member said. “We rewatched the TV version of the game. You can see him standing next to the defensive coordinator. He tells something to the coordinator and he points in the air to mean pass. You can see the playsheet he’s holding with our hand signs on them.”
TCU did a variety of measures to avoid the issue beyond changing some signs. The staff purposely signaled in plays late as to not leave enough time for Stalions to relay the signal to coaches.
“There are some times in the game that they still got us,” a TCU staff member said, “especially on short-yardage.”
Signal-stealing is not against NCAA rules. However, the association prohibits coaches or staff members scouting games of upcoming opponents in person — a near 30-year-old rule. Stealing an opponent’s signals during a game or from the television broadcast is not against NCAA rules. In fact, it’s quite common in college football.
Through history, plenty of opposing coaches have been caught by rival schools scouting games, spring games or practices, yet many of them go unpublicized and are quietly dealt with by the NCAA.
The Michigan case represents the largest scale sign-stealing scheme ever publicized in the recent history of college sports. It’s no surprise that the system eventually leaked because of its sheer size and foolish moves.
Stalions bought tickets in his own name and Michigan staff members used large white playsheets during games on the sideline that showed the opposing team’s hand signals in black — still shots of which have made their way across the internet.
Big Ten coaches caught on long ago.
As Yahoo Sports reported last week, news of the sign-stealing spread enough that multiple Michigan opponents this season dropped their signaling and used wristbands for much of the offensive play-calling during the game against the Wolverines.
“We heard they had a guy pick plays pretty good and had all this information from not your typical ways of getting the signals,” a Big Ten staff member said. “We get into the game and it’s the second quarter. I see him across the field and he’s checking his 11x17 sheet.”
The sign-stealing dates back to at least 2021, according to sources. The Wolverines have won 33 of their last 36 games dating back to that season. Michigan is 8-0 and ranked No. 2 this season and are on a bye this week before a home game against Purdue on Nov. 4.
A timeline for the NCAA’s investigation is unclear. It only started last week. NCAA inquiries such as this often extend months, if not years, and feature an even more lengthy appeals process that could delay any potential penalties levied.
And here's The Stallion on the sidelines of the TCU game:
Wow, I almost hate dykes a little less.

The crazy part about the video that everyone is up in arms about, is..... that it resulted in a TD. Michigan signaled pass, ohio state still scored a TD after the entire defense knew what was coming.
So it's OK to cheat if your opponent manages some level of success at any point in the game?
