Mid-Season Predictions

Ok, so now everyone in the Big 12 has played either 6 or 7 games. We have a pretty good idea about the strengths and weaknesses of each team. It's time for the mid-season predictions.

Big 12 North

Kansas 10-2/6-2
Kansas State 9-3/6-2
Missouri 10-2/6-2
Colorado 6-6/4-4
Nebraska 5-7/2-6
Iowa State 1-11/0-8

Big 12 South

Oklahoma 11-1/7-1
Oklahoma State 7-5/5-3
Texas Tech 9-3/5-3
Texas 9-3/5-3
Texas A&M 5-7/2-6
Baylor 3-9/0-8

The Big 12 North could easily have a three-way tie. Here are the tie-breakers, courtesy Brian Gates of GoPowercat.com:

Here is the tie breaker procedure in the event of a three-way tie:

If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.
1. The records of the three teams will be compared against each other;
2. The records of the three teams will be compared within their division;
3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of finish - 4, 5 and 6;
4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;
5. The highest ranked team in the first Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big 12 regular-season (intra-) conference play shall be the representative;
6. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games - e.g. 12th games such as Kickoff Classic, Pigskin Classic, Hawaii, etc.] shall be the representative;
7. The representative will be chosen by draw.
