So do we land in the Big12 crapper this year if Dybantsa commits?

Read the post.

TCuz

I think you needed to commit to something specific (& not-so-desirable) for the options to work.

SinkingQuffa

10:47am

No.

TCuz

10:48am

It is what it is. The idea of the poll is a good one, I think.

SinkingQuffa

10:49am

I'd suggest a range, like "finish #16th-10th in the Big12" — so it remains unspecific.

No.

Disney (for that age group)

ray ray

10:05am

If you are willing to spend the money, get a cruise on a specific boat. Even

BYUheaven

10:09am

In my experience, Carnival has better food than RC, but RC ships are usually nicer than Carnival.

Samsonite

10:11am

With kids, RC quality is close to Disney for a fraction of the cost.

Carnival for us was much better than RC with kids. RC has been the worst of all

UVCoug

10:47am

I hadn't really considered this until today. But would BYU need to win the Big12

Cougar TD

9:59am

The Big12 could get 3 teams in the CFP if Kstate, BYU, and ISU go undefeated the

CougarTwins

10:02am

could, but would they? I would be shocked with 3 Big12 teams.

Cougar TD

10:04am

I think most would be shocked with 3 Big 12 teams, because they don't trust any

cougarfan84

10:07am

There are a lot of other factors - namely what other teams in the country do.

cougarfan84

10:04am

To be safe a team needs to be in the top 10 maybe 11 in rankings for an at large spot.

PJMort

10:04am

Last year, the #11 team would have been the last at-large bid. That team was

cougarfan84

10:15am

I don't think that the Big 12 will be given an at-large bid

BYU Fan

10:05am

It could happen based on circumstances

Belboz

10:08am

It could but when push comes to shove, the Big 12 will get excluded

BYU Fan

10:21am

It probably depends on other circumstances. I think a 1 loss Utah team

Belboz

10:28am

But to get an at-large bid, Utah would be at best 11-2

BYU Fan

10:30am

that was a bad one. How about Iowa State or BYU?

Belboz

10:40am

It's certainly possible and would probably be deserved at 12-1

BYU Fan

10:50am

11 wins basically guarantees BYU a top-10 CFP ranking and thus a likely CFP bid

Doogal McCougar

10:14am

10-2 in the regular season puts them in the discussion for an at-large bid, but

jreid191

10:19am

Isn't most likely that if the B12 gets 2 teams in, it will be the winner and loser of the conference championship game?

HarlemCoug

10:19am

Absolutely. Losing in the CCG typically doesn't result in a drop in ranking

jreid191

There are 7 at large bids available. Notre Dame just has to be decent and they
