playoffs. Then.. in the playoffs if both CO and BYU win their first games against a B10 or SEC opponent that'd go far in shutting up the B10 and SEC about who's worthy to go to the playoffs.

All this hypothetical of course and I'm not suggesting BYU lose the CCG. I want BYU to get the most favorable route to the CFB Playoff Championship game and the most favorable route is most likely by winning the BIG 12 CCG.

Side note : Most of CO'S recent success has been due to Deon and there's no guarantee that Deon Sanders is going to stick around CO long term. Heard talk recently about him sooner or later jumping to the NFL.
