Crazy how bad preseason predictions were. All 5 play 2 or 3 games…ISU 3
BYU wins 4 of 5 and is in CCG. Win 3 of 5 and is likely in the CCG.

There are 6 teams that can finish with 1 loss or fewer in Big 12. But they all

We just need to win!

Seems crazy that there are so many teams we don't play.

9 games in a 16 team conf.

This is the new normal with these huge conferences and no divisions. It leads to all these weird tie breaker scenarios

If we had 1 loss right now, this situation would be really frustrating. I hope

Divisions have gone the way of the dodo bird.

The KSU vs ISU game will most likely determine who goes to CCG. Love a BYU/ISU CCG but BYU still has to win.
Soupie

Which is bad news for us when it comes to possible tiebreakers. This means we

Crazy to see that BYU has played/will play the big12 current bottom 7 teams!
FrankenCoug

Bottom 7 after 4 games is not necessarily same after 9 games

Especially when you consider preseason predicted records...

I don't see Utah on that list. Where are they?
Sparkling Delirium
11:00am
The list does not include teams not in contention, or which really really suck.
All-American
11:06am
That was kind of the point
Sparkling Delirium
11:14am
The point being that Utah really really sucks, just to be clear.

Will be fun if (for once) the league refs “do us a solid” in a game or two for

It's about Prestige too. We want in and we want to face KSU
DataMouth
11:01am
Did you miss the game earlier this season. BYU already beat KSU by 29 pts.
Soupie
11:06am
Yeah - Yet KSU still has the most national respect IMO - Let's beat them again
DataMouth

Feel that's shifted but who cares anyway? Keep getting scoreboard & it won't matter.

CO would get us a ton of eyeballs in the CCG. Hard to believe the committee

Remarkable. At the beginning of the year we thought BYU's schedule was stacked.

It was but that was based on ridiculous preseason ranks.
Soupie

Yeah, not a great look for preseason predictions. Some bad whiffs all around.

To be fair, there are 8 new teams within the last 2 years. Voters don't really

The most important loss that we need is this weekend. Colorado needs to lose

I may be rooting for Utah to beat Colorado....

Wow, that calculator is pretty cool!

if we have only 1 loss we are still guaranteed to make the CCG
realisticCoug42
12:06pm
I'm not sure that is true. I've counted 7 different "tie scenarios" possible
rcbyufan
12:09pm
it depends on common opponents and who the loss is to.
molodyets
2:10pm
Not guaranteed - depends on tiebreakers. We really need K State to keep
RGGeemer
12:16pm
But we need them to lose to Iowa state IF ISU is still undefeated going into their game with KSU. Don’t want a 3 way

I can get on board with that because we want to face an undefeated team for
RGGeemer
4:51pm
Wrong. This is 100% incorrect. We still could get in. But it is not guaranteed at this point.
yapacoug
4:00pm
Not guaranteed. But I’d say 90+% chance
RGGeemer
4:53pm
Not sure on that because I think a 3 way tie between BYU, ISU, & KSU has got a

4:56pm
If that happens then BYU is 100% in the CCG.
RGGeemer
4:58pm
I'm almost 100% sure that is not correct. Use this tool. They don't use the
rcbyufan
5:14pm
That's dumb if it wouldn't count. Maybe I'm misinterpreting this:
RGGeemer
5:28pm
That tool has us at #2 if our loss is to ASU. So some hope still. We'd be 6-0
RGGeemer
5:32pm
If our one loss is to ASU then that would remove all doubt since that's not

5:33pm
This is a bug. The team comparison for records would both have one loss so it

I'm re reading the tiebreak procedure and I'm afraid he might be right....when
RGGeemer

Your way makes more sense to me. I hope you're right but I think the tool may be

I believe the tool is correct. There are a couple odd tie breakers.

I could realistically see BYU, K state, Iowa St, and CU all have one loss
byuchocolatemilk
12:32pm
That is the only 4 way tie possible.
rcbyufan
12:36pm
And probably puts us at #4 in that scenario:(
Burton162
1:50pm
If there's a 4 way tie at 8-1:
molodyets
2:10pm
Can you walk me through that? I would have thought K St and ISU would get in
RGGeemer
2:23pm
Or would K State win the 1st tiebreaker and we win the 2nd because we beat K St?
RGGeemer
2:24pm
The only way that 4 way tie can happen is if ISU's only loss is to KSU.
molodyets
2:33pm
Are we sure KSU would win the 4-way tiebreaker with SOS? Or is that an
RGGeemer
2:37pm
Might be an assumption but they would have played all 8-1 BYU, ISU, and Colorado
rcbyufan
2:49pm
Assumptions but the gap is large now so probably safe.
molodyets
4:44pm
Who is in if Iowa St is undefeated and BYU and Colo both 1 loss?
libertycoug
12:38pm
Depends on where K State ends up compared to other teams we and Colorado both
RGGeemer
12:46pm
We are in. We beat KState and Colorado lost to them.
rcbyufan
12:47pm
Unless we lose to UCF and they end up higher than K State. Just depends at this
RGGeemer
12:48pm
This is technically correct. If UCF wins 5 in a row and KState loses 3, we
