[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132420548, member: 1812660"] You are projecting. I understand baseball is played in series. But a series does not equate to a single game like you are trying to conflate. My logic isn't based upon series, that is your flawed logic trying to make the sting less by trying to say it is really a circular firing squad. The beauty of a series is you can break it down by game and don't try to trot out some weak attempt to say it is like trying to break down a football game by quarters. Texas: OSU: WVU: @OSU 5-3 W Texas 3-5 L @OSU 6-3 W @OSU 1-4 L Texas 4-1 W @OSU 9-5 W @OSU 3-4 L Texas 4-3 W @OSU 6-11 L WVU 12-2 W WVU 3-6 L @Texas 2-12 L WVU 10-4 W WVU 5-9 L @Texas 4-10 L WVU 7-3 W WVU 11-6 W @Texas 3-7 L Texas won 4 of 6 games. Texas was never not competitive in any of the 6. Texas won in a blow out by the 3rd inning in 3 of their games. Texas won one road game OSU won 3 of 6 games. OSU was competitive in all but 1 game. OSU won by blow out only once. OSU didn't have to play on the road vs the others WVU won 2 of 6 games. WVU was not competitive in 4 games. WVU won by blow out once. WVU did win 2 road games. Any way you slice it. WVU has the weakest argument to be champion based upon the results above. The only mitigating factor is WVU was on the road for all those games. So again, WVU is "equal" champions with OSU and Texas by Big 12 decree only. That is my case. I am happy to entertain actual arguments against it, but that does not include the Big 12 official stance nor the idea that only who wins or loses the series matters. [/QUOTE]
