Seeding

edit

The top eight teams in regular season play qualified for the tournament. There were two tiebreakers required in the seeding process. The first tiebreaker was for the second and third seed as both TCU and Texas Tech finished with 5–1–3 regular season conference records. The two teams played to a 0–0 draw on October 27, 2022, so the tiebreaker of conference goal difference was used. TCU finished with a goal difference of +9 and Texas Tech had a goal difference of +6. Therefore, TCU was the second seed and Texas Tech was the third seed. Rivals Kansas and Kansas State finished tied for seventh place with 2–5–2 records after the regular season. The two teams played to a 1–1 draw on October 21, 2022, so the conference goal difference tiebreaker was used again. Kansas earned the seventh seed as they finished with a -3 goal difference, while Kansas State was the eighth seed, finishing with a -6 goal difference.[3][4]
