A&M was 6-0-1 during 1994.
Tech was 4-3. So was everyone else.
Red Raiders won the spot because they were the only school never to go to Cotton Bowl.

Yep. I had just graduated college and remember making fun of my Tech coworkers about never having played in the Cotton Bowl.
Just kidding, I never worked at Dominos.

In 1976 TT tied with UH in conference records but we went to the Cotton Bowl because we beat TT head up.

Watched Arizona- Baylor last night.
Feel confident we can beat Baylor in Waco.
Baylor is sloppy and undisciplined. Any team that plays that way against the Coogs, in any gym, is going to lose.
Donāt think Ariz will catch us. They will lose at either KU or ISU maybe both giving them at least 4 losses and we have the tiebreaker. Tech is the only legit obstacle left.

The Tech fans of today are two generations removed from the SWC. Most Tech fans donāt know what the SWC was. As a person that lived through both I can say there is a difference between the SWC Tech and the B12 Tech. B12 Tech is trashier.

For those with a better aptitude than mine in math, what is our magic number to clinch the conference vz. Arizona and Tech.
Thanks in advance.
We are 13-1.
Win our next 3 and we will have it.
We can lose 1 to anyone and still win it.

As far as Magic # it is 4 to beat Arizona.
Any combo of Coogs Wins or Wildcats losses that equal 4 , will do it.
Best way to look at it is see what max win total can Zona get to ā 17. If Coogs get thereā¦ have them beat based on Head to Head match up. Course thatās worse case scenario bc that ex is Zona going 5-0 rest of way. So total # of 4 as described above is best way to track.
To beat Tx Tech magic # is 5. Achieving same way above. Bc could be sitiation where Tech has 2 wins vs Coogs. So 4 Coogs wins & 1 Tech loss will do it. Even w 2 wins against UH , Tech canāt get to 17 w 1 loss vs any opponent rest of way.
To simplify if Coogs go 4-2 ( very realistic) rest of way, only team that can tie them would be Tx Tech n they would have go 6-0. But Tech wins tiebreaker.
So 5 total is required for W/L
Hopefully not too confusing.

Take the number of games we have left. Add 1. Subtract the number of games ahead in the loss column. The number of cougar wins and/or opponent losses that match that number is what it takes. If you have the tiebreaker, you can subtract one more number. If you lose the tiebreaker, add 1 to the number.

Haha. 
Fred, my example prob required to read at least 2 times. Yours was more compact but i had to read 3 times to understand it. Good job going over. Thereās all kind of ways to explain or better yet to get to the Magic # needed. 4 total W/L vs Zona, 5 total W/L vs Tech is bottom line vs ea team
Our next 3 games are ASU, ISU, and Tx Tech.
Win those and we will need no more math computations.
Tech would be 3 games back. Our worst case then is a tie with Tech for First.
We donāt want no tie Robert

Outright Title only!!

With our win against ASU tonight, Kansas, Baylor and TCU have now been eliminated from regular season title contention. They join Utah, Kansas St, West Virginia, Cincinnati, UCF, Oklahoma St, Arizona St and Colorado in the eliminated column.
Houston, Arizona, Iowa St, Texas Tech remain in contention with BYU next up to be eliminated with the next UH win or BYU loss.

By the by our scoring seems to be up this season.
We have scored 80 or more in 1/3 of our Big 12 games.
We have scored 70 or more in 8 out of 15 games.
This might bode very well for us. If killer defense slips a little we can score. We have 6 guys who can score at a good clip.
