Japan Coug Intervention Needed

2-way tiebreaker for 2nd place, after resolving 1st place with a 3-way tiebreaker, would not result in the best common opponent with ISU being K-State.

(Doesn’t matter in a 2-way tiebreaker with K-State, because of head-to-head).

I wanted KSU to lose to give us a 2 game lead over them.

Need ISU to lose before their game.

We will be rooting for Utah one game

Nah.

No really - we might

It’s so much better for BYU, to have two undefeated teams (ISU & BYU) in B12 CCG

You're assuming we get through unscathed. Not a guarantee.

RGGeemer

Oct 26, 10:01pm

Even if BYU loses one game, it’s better to play undefeated ISU in the CCG. If

If we lose 1 game, will we be playing in the CCG?

RGGeemer

Oct 26, 10:22pm

There’s no way any team will pass BYU in rankings. BYU will go to the CCG.

bluebrotha

Oct 26, 10:33pm

Rankings have nothing to do with CCG tiebreakers.

RGGeemer

That’s not what the contract says:

You realize that "Section F" only applies if sections A through E don't

RGGeemer

Oct 27, 9:43am

First, you said rankings have ‘nothing to do with it’. I just proved you wrong.

I didnt know that section f was there because all scenarios don't make it that

You keep saying "Colorado won't be ranked above BYU". That is definitely

It helps our resume for seeding though.

If we’re not B10 or SEC they won’t care about our SOS.

Sad but true:(

Magneto

If BYU doesn’t make the CCG there is zero chance we get into the playoff. Zero.

YOHONOMOTO

Oct 26, 9:56pm

We are getting to the CCG. that’s why seeding matters.

Bostonblue

Oct 26, 9:57pm

KSU still one loss. ISU zero losses. CU one loss and up on Cincy.

YOHONOMOTO

I think we have a shot at the CFP at 11-1. Not a great shot tho.

RGGeemer

It’s our signature win, and we already have a virtual 2-game lead on them, since

Yes it does. Once you break the 3-way tie for 1st place, there is a separate

RGGeemer

Yes, I believe that simulation is flawed, at least when it comes to the scenario

Japan Coug

Oct 26, 10:01pm

It's a bit ambiguous.

RGGeemer

Oct 26, 10:07pm

That doesn’t make sense to me, if the 3 schools all end 11-1. BYU would lose the

I agree with you but that's not how the tiebreaker rules are written. It is a

I thought so too. But that's what every simulator has right now. More than 1

Have you seen any done by a reputable source (not some rando on CB or Twitter)?

Japan Coug

No. Someone on CB said they sent an email to the league asking about it. I hope
