can someone explain how this will work?

If we win today, OSU has one loss. Say Western Carolina wins. They're 1-1. Nebraska is eliminated. Prsumably, we have no game for Sunday, but OSU and Western Carolina are both then 1-1 and would play each other. But then what? Are we compelled at 2-0 to then play the winner of the 1-1 series? That seems kind of silly, as we would already have beaten both and would be penalized by needing to beat them again. What am I missing here?

So at best there is a 1 loss team vs 0 loss team in the finals. They play until someone loses 2.

have two 2-0 teams in the Sunday rounds, so a 2-0 team is going to have to do that regardless. Bingo.

should the Tigers win today, Okla St will play the winner of the Neb/WCU game in tomorrow's first game.....then later in the day, the Tigers would play the winner of that game......should another game be required to determine the champion...it would probably be played on Mon

of course it makes sense that just because we beat somebody once doesn't mean it would be unfair for us to have to beat them again. I'm used to the idea of round robins, where everybody plays everybody else. Double elimination just feels strange for some reason.

proper way to do a baseball tournament. If we had lost to FSU in the ACC tournament final, they would have been champion, even though we would have both been 3-1 in the tournament. That's what is strange. In double elimination, you keep going until you lose two.
