[QUOTE="Sticky_Wicket, post: 2557265, member: 71255"] Very happy with the score, of course I'm confused by this ending, can anyone enlighten as to the official call and what is required to "mercy rule" an opponent? From what I've understood there are two specific exceptions allowing not to play out the full 9. Seven-inning games are allowed if (A) it's the final day of an intra-conference series or (B) two teams (in a non-conference match) have a scheduled double header. "NCAA rule defining a standard game as nine innings; it allows for seven-inning games to be played only in doubleheaders (defined as games 30 minutes apart between the same two opponents) and when conference rules allow for 10-run mercy provisions." But I know individual conferences also tweak this rule.. so was this a big 12 ruling or how does it work? [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
