(not saying KState IS that good — but imo if it ain't them it ain't any of us).
(4) The ONLY way for the Big 12 to get 3 teams into the playoff is for one of our teams to go undefeated as a Top-5 team (so only we & ISU are possibilities) — & for Prime's CU to continue to win big & ultimately get in as a 2-loss big-media darling. If K-State loses to an undefeated BYU in the Big 12 title game, it still might get in as a Top-15 team team w both its losses coming to what would be a Top-5 team. The same couldn't be true for KState, likely, if they lost to ISU in the title game.
(5) I therefore want ISU to lose twice. Cuz unlike CU, it has no chance of getting a playoff invite as a big-media darling. (And neither do any of the rest of us Big12 peons.)
