Head to head would be split 2-2. I’m probably picking Oklahoma based on these surface numbers if I’m on the committee. It’s pretty harsh that they don’t get a shot.
For sure. They don’t announce Top 8 until tomorrow so they can change it until then, but it’s kind of awful for Oklahoma. I guess the answer is that the Big 12 and PAC 12 should finish sooner, but you also take the time slot ESPN gives you.
This AP article from earlier in week says hosts still announced separately on Sunday. I guess that means they’ll still be doing it that way? I think it’s to give the sites a little extra lead time.

Anyone know if they’re announcing hosts at 8:30 tonight as they traditionally do? I ask because the Big 12 title game starts at 6pm and the PAC 12 plays at 10pm (shouldn’t make a difference) and won’t be done before then.
