The thing is, if we beat Iowa State today, we'd have a win over everyone on the schedule and won the Big 12 regular season by 2 whole games. But because the greedy Big 12 decided to put in a pointless conference title game, we have to go play Russian Roulette in a 13th game even though we proved that we were 2 games better than the rest of the league.
So what if USC loses again? I'd say we are in if we beat Iowa State.
Again the "beat every team they played" is the argument that got Oregon in the playoff in 2014.
But I do agree, our chances of making the playoffs if we lose to Iowa State is much better now.
We lose to Iowa State but win the CCG, as long as Georgia beats LSU (or USC loses a game) I think we make the playoffs.
If TCU coaches were on the fence about playing a player today or resting them, I would now rest them.
In the championship? Are you on crack? Or is this a troll I’ve somehow missed?Beating a team 2x is harder so I say we play Iowa State like it's another game unless it's a blowout(doubt it) then you can think of resting players
