I think there’s a modest chance a 9-3 SEC team gets in. Hell if I know which one. Might be one of those things where the final records are set, and we get a feel for the field, and suddenly realize “I guess that’s the team.”
I agree with "modest".  As you say, which one?  They all look equally ... B12ish.

What a wild wild season, I guess this is why we stick with it all.

Even Nebraska fans ...

Remember when anything less than 9 would get your coach fired?

The cheapest SEC CG ticket I see is $319.

The SEC, it just costs more.

Cheapest UT-TAMU seats I'm seeing are around $500 each high up in the endzone.  That's come down a bit since Friday.  Still a chance we're going to the game via some friends, and won't have to pay $500/each.

An interesting analysis of 256 different possible scenerios involving tiebreakers in the Big 12.   It is still mathematically possible for 8 teams to tie for first place with 1 week to go.

I could see Boise knocking off the Ducks. They almost did it this year, and were undefeated against them up until that point.

UNL might be able to tie for 2nd place

Could pretty much be the title for the entire 2024 college football season.  This is what unlimited free agency does to a sport.

I think you may be right. The Big 12 has no elite teams.

Neb has already beat Colorado,  one of 4 teams tied for first place in the Big 12.  Illinois beat Kansas,  who has beat Iowa St,  BYU and Colorado in the last 3 weeks.

Iowa St did beat Iowa earlier this year by 1-pt.  Which I guess supports the argument that all the teams tied for first in the Big 12 would be about  5-4  in the Big Ten.
