If 3 or more teams are tied with 1 loss, do they skip the first tie breaker
Step (head-to-head)?

Step 1: For example, if Iowa St, KSU, BYU, and Colorado all have one loss each (to KSU, BYU, UTAH, and KSU respectively) would KSU’s wins over Iowa St and Colorado put them in over those 2 schools and our win over KSU put us in?

Or do they jump straight to the win% of all common conference opponents?

Step 2: in this step, would they really only look at the games against the two teams all 4 of them played (OK St and Kansas)?

Step 3: as of today, this would look at how each fared against Kansas?

and once they realize everybody beat Kansas then it would come down to a coin toss?

Step 4: do they use a 4-sided coin then a 3-sided coin? Or do they somehow do head-to-head matchup tosses like I used to do when I was 5 years old and said, “okay, now this toss is between BYU and Iowa St. Heads BYU, tails Iowa State. Dang it, tails. Okay, best out of 5….”

Copy and paste about the rules:
According to the Big 12, the tiebreaker rules for the football championship game are: first, head-to-head record, then win percentage against common conference opponents, followed by win percentage against the next highest-placed common opponent in the standings, and finally, combined winning percentage in conference games of conference opponents; if a tie remains, a coin toss will decide the winner.

Key points about the Big 12 tiebreaker rules:
Head-to-head record: This is the first tiebreaker used if two teams are tied.

Common conference opponents: If the head-to-head record is tied, the teams' win percentage against all common conference opponents will be compared.

Next highest-placed common opponent: If the previous tiebreaker doesn't resolve the tie, the win percentage against the next highest-placed common opponent in the standings will be used.

Coin toss: If all other tiebreakers fail, a coin toss will determine the winner.
