So the lowest a 1-loss P5 team has been ranked is #7 but some think a 1-loss

Big 12 team will all of a sudden be ranked 12 or worse? I guess I’m just not understanding some people’s arguments.

Note I’m obviously not counting the Covid year of course where everyone played less games and had less losses.

This isn’t ideal… it’s possible for BYU, Iowa State and Colorado to go undefeated in conference.

We go undefeated in conference, we're actually undefeated. We wouldn't be left

It looks like that’s a tiebreaker after conference SOS

I’m sure this will never happen, but theoretically, how does a coin toss work

Probably either flip 3 coins simultaneously and odd man out is out of the CC

Extremely unlikely to have a 2 way tie for the second spot after all those tie-

That should favor us (at least for now) since KSU, Utah, Arizona, and maybe OkSt

I don’t think the undefeated thing will be an issue this year, but a 16 team, divisionless conference

It would be fine because all 3 would make the playoff so no big deal.

A 12-0 Big 12 team is not getting left out and neither is a 12-1 for that matter

Agree on 12-0, disagree on 12-1 for at large

How many 12-1 P5 teams have not been ranked top 12 ever?

BYUFootballisBack

2 loss p5 teams don't always make it, but most of the time they are still top 12

BYUFootballisBack

The caveat to this is that #12 would have been left out most years as the G5

There are almost never more than 12 P5 teams with 2 or less losses, I could see

Exactly this, 1 loss power 4/5 teams have ALWAYS been top 10, always, there just

I am more confident in the math of two loss teams than I am the rankings

A 2 loss Big12 team likely only gets in if they win the CCG

In that scenario, it would come down to tiebreaker rule 4 (in-conference SOS)

Big 12 would have a decent shot to get 3 teams in the CFP. That is ideal.

I hate large conferences for this reason. The champion can still be subjective.
