Assuming both us and Iowa State win on Saturday, we're still the 2 seed.

Baylor would be tied with WVU as well for the 4/5 spots, but Baylor would get the 4 seed since they swept WVU.

Thus, the tie-breaker between us and ISU would be based on records against Baylor. We split with Baylor, ISU was swept by Baylor, so we'd get the 2 seed.

Just wanted to make that clear.

Correct me if I'm wrong, however.
 
That website has us as the 3 seed if both Iowa St and us win this week and OSU loses. If OSU beats WV, that moves us to the 2 seed. Don't know who is right, but that's what the website spits out

That is correct, 3 seed unless ISU loses. Not a bad spot anyway, probably get OSU rather than Texas, which I think would be an easier match up

Dude I don't know what you don't get about this. I keep trying to tell you your wrong. We have to have ISU lose or we have to have Osu win out. It DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. When teams are tied for 6th and then it's the ACCUMULATIVE RECORD against those teams. Here is what I posted in the other thread that I already started about this EXACT topic.

Yeah again this is the part I got messed up on we get the 2 seed if and only if-

ISU loses and OU wins
1. Kansas (13 - 5)
2. Oklahoma (12 - 6)
3. Baylor (11 - 7) Defeated Iowa State and West Virginia based on round-robin record.
4. Iowa State (11 - 7) Defeated West Virginia and lost to Baylor based on round-robin record.
5. West Virginia (11 - 7) Lost to Baylor and Iowa State based on round-robin record.
6. Oklahoma State (8 - 10) Defeated Texas and Kansas State based on round-robin record.
7. Texas (8 - 10) Defeated Kansas State and lost to Oklahoma State based on round-robin record.
8. Kansas State (8 - 10) Lost to Oklahoma State and Texas based on round-robin record.

OU and ISU win and OSU wins out.

1. Kansas (13 - 5)
2. Oklahoma (12 - 6) Defeated Iowa State based on record against #4 teams.
3. Iowa State (12 - 6) Lost to Oklahoma based on record against #4 teams.
4. Baylor (11 - 7)
5. West Virginia (10 - 8)
6. Oklahoma State (9 - 9)
7. Texas (8 - 10) Defeated Kansas State based on head-to-head record.
8. Kansas State (8 - 10) Lost to Texas based on head-to-head record.


This is what happens if OU and ISU both win and WVU beats OSU
1. Kansas (13 - 5)
2. Iowa State (12 - 6) Defeated Oklahoma based on record against #6 teams.
3. Oklahoma (12 - 6) Lost to Iowa State based on record against #6 teams.
4. Baylor (11 - 7) Defeated West Virginia based on head-to-head record.
5. West Virginia (11 - 7) Lost to Baylor based on head-to-head record.
6. Oklahoma State (8 - 10) Defeated Texas and Kansas State based on round-robin record.
7. Texas (8 - 10) Defeated Kansas State and lost to Oklahoma State based on round-robin record.
8. Kansas State (8 - 10) Lost to Oklahoma State and Texas based on round-robin record.


Scenario 1 we have the best record

Scenario 2 we had the best record against Baylor (OU: 1-1, ISU: 0-2)

Scenario 3 ISU has best ACCUMULATIVE record against ALL TEAMS TIED FOR 6th (ISU: 5-1, OU: 4-2)

All this to say OUs ONLY CHANCE FOR A 2 SEED is if OSU wins out or ISU loses. End of story.
 
And we'll be the 4, and draw W. Virginia in the 1st round, if we lose. Big difference. This is a game we need to win, especially with Ellis & Alexander out.

Was it the topic where you were also mistaken about the tiebreakers as well?

Or the other topic you started?

The other topic. The one about the needing Ostate to win out. That's what I was trying to tell him in that thread how I thought the same but that it's not that way. And then he started this thread.

Exactly. WIN and be a #2 seed or #3 seed .. Who really cares. The important thing is to:

BEAT KANSAS!!

Check the times.

I posted this thread before I even responded to yours.

Not sure why you're so hostile. I even finished my statement with "Correct me if I'm wrong".

Again, really not sure why you're so hostile, seems childish at best and embarrassing at worst.

With me starting that other thread I would figure you would post in that or and so that's what made me think you kinda started this thread outa spite. No hostility here bub haha honestly was just trying to tell you what others had told me and didn't think the point was getting across. No reason to go calling people childish or embarrassed definitely neither of those are felt here. ;) but to each their own if you do feel that way. Just because a person puts stuff in caps and tries to explain stuff to you doesn't mean they're hostile. You must have never played a sport at a high level if that's considered "hostile".
 
If by kid you mean not being old enough to buy a ticket for a game in 1982 like you I believe I will take that as a compliment big old ass booger! ;) jk all in good fun!

Well...when new posters change user names ("big old ass booger"), talk about their athletic exploits ("You must have never played a sport at a high level..."), and use ALL CAPS ("DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY") all in the same thread, well, if the shoe fits...

But, it's all in good fun.:facepalm
