   From: darkstar7646@gmail.com   
      
   Some updates from Saturday evening's play:   
      
   > Big XII:   
      
   (7) Texas has one loss   
      
   (15) Oklahoma State, (17) Oklahoma, (25) Kansas State, and Iowa State have two.   
      
   HTH:   
      
   Texas:  To play Iowa State, doesn't play Oklahoma State, Oklahoma L, Kansas   
   St. W   
   Oklahoma State:  L Iowa State, W Oklahoma, doesn't play Texas W Kansas State   
   Oklahoma:  W Texas, L Oklahoma State, W Iowa State, does not play Kansas State   
   Kansas State:  L Oklahoma State, L Texas, does not play Oklahoma, to play Iowa   
   State   
   Iowa State:  To play Texas and Kansas State, L Oklahoma, W Oklahoma State   
      
   If I read this right, I have to find a common opponent of all 5 to break this   
   (potential) tie?  Because if I can't, do we go strength of conference schedule   
   on this bad boy?  What I'm reading is that all must play all for HTH...   
      
   > Mtn West:   
      
   Air Force lost to Hawaii, so Air Force and UNLV are both 5-1, 8-2 and they   
   play next week.   
      
   Winner of that game hosts the MWC championship game if they win in the final   
   week.   
      
   If UNLV beats Air Force and San Jose State, Air Force would go to Las Vegas if   
   they beat Boise State (they'd have beaten all three other potential two-loss   
   teams), but would be eliminated with another loss as long as Boise doesn't   
   lose next week.   
      
   If Air Force wins that game, UNLV is eliminated unless they beat San Jose   
   State (or they would lose to all three potential two-loss teams) AND Fresno   
   loses to one of the two conference cellar-dwellers, since Fresno has beaten   
   both UNLV and Boise.   
      
   Fresno State, Boise State, and San Jose State await with bated breath.   
      
   > Sun Belt:   
   >   
   > Because of James Madison's ineligibility:   
      
   Coastal Carolina represents the East and goes to Troy if they defeat James   
   Madison or if Georgia Southern and App State lose a game each.   
      
   Appalachian State needs to defeat James Madison and Georgia Southern AND have   
   Coastal Carolina lose to James Madison to go to Troy.   
      
   Georgia Southern must have Coastal Carolina lose to James Madison and win out.   
      
   Old Dominion cannot win the berth, even with 5-3 in the conference, Coastal   
   Carolina would win a 2-way tiebreaker with just Old Dominion and a three-way   
   tiebreaker with also App. State.  A four-way tiebreaker is impossible.
