Scenario 1 = wvu wins out.  They are 8-1 while both OU and Texas could be no better than 7-2 at best.

Scenario 2 = OU wins out and are 8-1.   Only Texas has a shot at being 8-1 as well but has a difficult path with wvu, Tech and Iowa St left.

Scenario 3 = Texas  wins out and are 8-1.   Only OU has a shot at being 8-1 as well but has a difficult path with Tech, oSu and wvu left.

Scenario 4 = Texas Tech wins out and are 7-2.  Only wvu has a shot at being 8-1 but has a difficult path with Texas, TCU, oSu and OU left.

Scenario 5 = Iowa State wins out and are 7-2.  Either wvu or OU could be 8-1, but not both and both have difficult paths.

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all to see two teams in the CCG with 3, 4 or 5 conference losses between them.

I guess it's all thanks to our damnedable (or is that damnable?) conference parody, lol

Sad but true on the first part.
On the second point, it doesn't have to be improbable to be imagined, although we could do the probability and it means OU wins out (not that likely) and Texas wins out or at least does better than the other 8 teams in the Big 12 (not that likely either) and then if you put those together you have two at most partly likely things combining to make an even less likely outcome.  And besides, we all know that a rematch between two closely matched teams often favors the team that lost the first time.  OU-NU in 1978 or Bama-LSU a few years ago, etc.  It's at least even money that OU would beat Texas in a rematch.  Put all those things together and ...
No, darn it all, Jessica as your desert island pie is still more unlikely.
Everything we're talking about though are just imagined scenarios.  
But imagined scenarios do not enter the rarefied air of being considered a fantasy unless they are improbable, impossible, involve Jessica Alba or coconut cream pie.

Much parody.  No fantasies.

Yummm, coconut cream pie.  I'm with you there.  Probable or improbable, that's definitely fantasy material.

My sweet wife and son both like banana cream pie better than coconut, which I have a lot of trouble understanding.  It's all good, but my maternal grandmother made the best coconut cream pie in the universe, and so when I eat that it's both good and sends me back to those days at her dinner table, which were fine times indeed

my Father's and youngest daughter's favorite pie was banana cream - thanks to my Father's mother

fortunately, she taught her great granddaughter to make a very good banana cream pie

not much coconut cream pie in our experience

banana cream

one of those phases that kind of makes a person grinace.

Grinace of course is a grin and a grimace rolled into one.

Don't know why but that was the most difficult to comprehend sentence I read all day.  I had to read it like four times and every time you hit me with more relatives.
Sheesh.  You're a regular William Falkner.

I certainly didn't start out typing that post to cause that much thinking, but the more I typed the more I enjoyed it.

I like all kinds of pies.  Cobblers, too.  And dump cakes, those are tasty.

Hmmm, me neither.  Sounds like some kind of clean out the frig thing.

I know all about cobblers and I have an idea what a dump cake might be.  I imagine Amos does too.  If you’re lucky or unlucky enough to be a churched kid, your Sundays are shot to hell but you grow up on pot luck suppers and learned all about the marvelous things old women can whip up in their kitchens.
