Uso Seumalo status for Saturday

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman said that nose tackle Uso Seumalo is "day-to-day" and has not practiced this week.

Seumalo did not play in the second half against Kansas. He'll likely need to practice before he's cleared to play on Saturday.

If he can't practice, Jevon Banks and Damian Ilalio will likely fill in for him. Ilalio played 14 snaps against Kansas, while Banks played 11.

Ways for OU, OSU, and KSU to Arlington

First off Texas is in regardless

If Texas wins Friday

OSU in with win and any scenario in which it is tied with OU or KSU
OU in with win and loss by OSU
KSU in with win and losses by BOTH OU and OSU

If Texas loses Friday UT still in
4 way tie--KSU vs UT
3 way tie (UT, OU, OSU)--OU vs UT
3 way tie (UT, OU, KSU)--KSU vs UT
3 way tie (UT, OSU, KSU)--KSU vs UT

IF Texas loses
OSU must win AND must have BOTH KSU and OU lose OR have all three teams lose
KSU must win
OU must win and have KSU lose

Of course, this is all predicated on the Big XII not "clarifying" the rules again!!!

Will future league championship be more influenced by schedule than thought?

Before the season I predicted that because of OUs unbelievably easy schedule that they were likely to make it to Arlington. But after this year's results, I am starting to believe that unless you have a top 10 team, your ability to make the championship game is almost solely reliant on the difficulty of schedule.
Let's look at OU and OSU as examples in favor of this theory.

OU--As of today OUs conference foes are a combined 34-38. Assuming that the favorites win this weekend OUs foes would have been a staggering 39-42

OSU--As of today OSUs conference foes are a combined 33-39. Even worse than OU!! Once again assuming that the favorites win this weekend their foes would only be 38-43.

Compare this to KSU--Today conference foes are at 36-36. After this weekend probable records have KSU foes at 41-40.

This begs the question if OU or OSU would have a better record at this time with KSU's schedule??

I believe it is highly likely that either one or both of these teams would have had an extra loss at this point in time.
