Ain't gonna happen for ANY of us. KState's the favorite to win the conf, imo. Their huge slip-up vs us notwithstanding.

They have a HUGE test ahead of them in Boulder, though.

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

I guarantee that won’t happen

Is that a beefy burrito promise?

Yes RdF3, are you willing to be a REAL college football fan and back up that

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

byuinva

Sep 30, 11:49am

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-

An undefeated P4 team would almost certainly earn at at large bid

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

Even *if* we were left out of the B12 champ game (in that scenario), we'd be a

Very true. The only downside is we'd be locked out of the opportunity to claim

A home playoff game would be better than a buy but don't see that ever happening

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 10:32am

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

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 12:56pm

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 1:43pm

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 1:49pm

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 1:51pm

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

BYUCLA

Sep 30, 1:50pm

People don't realize just how few teams go undefeated or only 1 loss every year

Seems you have forgotten Gary Barta's mental gymnastics.

The committee will find ways to justify it (not that it will happen so we won't

All 12-1 or better P4 teams will be in the playoff (barring a historical season

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 2:42pm

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 2:48pm

I think we are saying that even with 2-loss B1G/SEC teams ahead of 1-loss Big 12

BYUCLA

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 2:49pm

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

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 3:13pm

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

Sep 30, 3:28pm

This seems likely, but we were talking 2 loss from those and 1 from ours. Very

I think they think we will beat each other up. But I really question how ACC

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 12:55pm

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

I think that would be ideal.

fbguru

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

Always nice to realize that anyone we play won't go undefeated. 🙂

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