Hate to even mention this, but even if it's not Kansas it will be Missouri which is equally notable.

Which pretty much guarantees that OK will beat whomever wins. The KC general area hasn't been allowed to win anything since 1988. Coincidentally the year Shottenheimer arrived. No city that Marty ever coached in has ever won a national title at anything--during or after. I call it Shottenherimeritis. It also seems to fan out in about a 150 MPH radius. Roy Williams proved however, that it is possible to recover from Shottenheimeritis, given sufficient time away from the afflicted area.

If Mizzou wins and it's especially ugly while WV wins really impressively then it could end up being extremely close between those teams for #1.
I think Mizzou probably still would edge them out though.

Regardless, you now have the possibility of WV vs. KU or Mizzou in the title game if they win out. But that's hardly a guarantee for any of the 3.

Who goes if all 3 of those teams screw it up on the way?
OSU vs. who??

Probably LSU, if they win the SEC title game. If LSU loses also, then probably Georgia if they're the one to beat LSU, or Oklahoma if Georgia isn't the one to beat LSU.

I think you can't rule out a 12-1 Kansas team in that scenario with the other contenders having two losses. They'd probably be behind 2-loss LSU and a 2-loss OU team that just beat them though.

yes you can. they played 2 ranked teams all year and one of em was KSU at 24th in the country, and they wouldn't even be champions of their own division, let alone conference.

tOSU doesnt have two losses. So they'd have to be beaten out by only one other 2-loss team. They will be.

Reading check....you're saying that if KU wins tonight and loses to OU, then it's OSU and a two-loss team?
