Number1 tie breaker is he’d to head. If we all had 1 loss most likely BYU is 1

And KSU is 2. KSU beat both of the other teams and we beat KSU. This is the most likely scenario. Col is pretty much toast because they lost to KSU.

Listened to Kurtz explain B12 championship & I think BYU has to win out to get

SBB

4:49am

His assumption is that the tie breaker will be decided by conference opponent

Maybe i misunderstood or fell asleep.

SBB

No, I think Kurtz just missed the fact that once the first seed is placed the

There is some ambiguity on if the K St win would count or not. The wording in

RGGeemer

5:24am

I read that argument, but how would it not? Once K-state is chosen as seed one,

cougar4life55

5:36am

A couple of items: 1) It reads 'NEXT highest seeded team' which implies the team

RGGeemer

6:24am

How is KSU not the next-highest in this scenario? It doesn’t say “next-lowest”.

I agree #1 doesn't make sense. Most people don't interpret it that way. #2

Tricky

THat's #1. I can't imagine they interpret it 'next highest' though, but it's

RGGeemer

10:01am

It's ambiguous

ImuaKahuku

Incorrect. Head to head is not counted in multi-team tiebreakers unless 1) all

RGGeemer

10:30am

You sure about that?

ImuaKahuku

12:17pm

Thats only for a two team tie, need to read the 3+ team tiebreaker

BYU gets in CCG in all 1-loss tiebreakers if our 1 L is to ASU

RGGeemer

5:23am

I don't think it matters who we lose to. If BYU loses to Utah, Houston, or

cougar4life55

5:35am

Maybe - there is ambiguity in that interpretation. The online tiebreaker

RGGeemer

6:25am

He gives a good breakdown of why he interprets it this way here:

RGGeemer

6:28am

This is just some internet rando. His opinion is no better than anyone else’s,

Japan Coug

6:49am

I don't agree with it either. . . But I have accepted that not everything

Zoobieman

7:06am

Sure, I hope he's wrong. All that matters is how the conference interprets it.

RGGeemer

7:12am

Unless ISU loses to KSU. Then we get in ONLY if our loss is to ASU

SouthernCoug

8:50am

Isn't that what I said? We get in no matter what if our L is to ASU.

RGGeemer

9:03am

No, but I also didn't exactly respond to what you did say either, so...

SouthernCoug

10:19am

How did you interpret this?

RGGeemer

10:24am

As you did, but I was making the point that if ISU wins out, BYU gets in

SouthernCoug

10:57am

Gotcha. Yep also true.

RGGeemer

11:02am

I thought we could lose to Houston and still be in as well (but not both)

Lanterne Rouge

9:12am

In a 4-way tie with Colorado, that's true. In a 3-way with ISU and KSU, it's

RGGeemer

10:02am

Ah, thank you. That makes sense.

Lanterne Rouge

10:09am

RE: Unless ISU loses to KSU. Then we get in ONLY if our loss is to ASU

Japan Coug

9:22am

I dont think this is true. After H2H the next rule is record against the HIGHEST

MaximusMeridius

12:08pm

Maybe. There is ambiguity about if the K St W would count or not in our 2-way

RGGeemer

12:17pm

It's a good thing BYU is at their easier part of their schedule right now.

greatbam

5:51am

Ha ha. Very funny.

Happy As Larry

9:33am

What? Do you think Utah is going to be more difficult than UCF was last weekend? I don't. ASU IMO would be the..

greatbam

9:42am

Utah's D will be lightyears better than UCF's.

RGGeemer

10:03am

It will be different though. UCF was elite 1-dimensional offense w/ bad defense

rcbyufan

10:31am

BYU is in good shape

11:35am

I am just going to wait after the Kansas game to buy tickets. . .

Zoobieman

7:04am

BYU has the predicted best record based on past performance and opponents

NYC and Japan

7:24am

Colorado would need to lose another one and Iowa St would need to beat KSU

Blue Ghost

8:18am

We are in the CCG in all 1-loss tiebreakers if our L is to ASU.

RGGeemer

8:25am

Ok. I believe you. So we better beat Utah.

Blue Ghost

8:39am

If Iowa State beats KState, 8-1 BYU would win the tiebreaker against Colorado

Zoobieman

8:40am

What is the tiebreaker? We have one of the easiest Big-12 Schedules

Blue Ghost

8:45am

I think we would be in due to record against common opponents (7-0 vs 6-1)

SouthernCoug

8:53am

Record vs common opponents.

RGGeemer

9:03am

If we win out, we are in. If ISU wins out, we are in with one loss to anyone.

RGGeemer

Doesn't Colorado already have 2 losses?

NonmormonYfan89

9:13am

In-conference losses

Happy As Larry

9:35am

Not in conference

RGGeemer

10:03am

Well KSU winning in Ames is a pretty tall order

runningryan

9:56am

Not correct. Casey Lundquist did a podcast on this & I recapped it:

MaximusMeridius

9:58am

Link to the podcast where he talks about the B12 official interpretation?

RGGeemer

10:04am

Found it, giving it a listen.

RGGeemer

10:04am

Yep it was in the post I linked. Definitely worth a listen

MaximusMeridius

10:09am

He said 'Caveat, we have sent an email to confirm we are interpreting this

RGGeemer

10:12am

I've been checking the site daily to see if he's gotten an update 🙁

MaximusMeridius

10:14am

Later he also said 'This is what we are waiting for confirmation on, but this is

RGGeemer

10:15am

Yep. And his interpretation makes sense..I'd be highly surprised if he's wrong

MaximusMeridius

11:28am

Makes sense to me. But it is up to the official conference interpretation.

RGGeemer

11:36am

We SHOULD win out

runningryan

10:13am

This isn't right, there's really only 2 scenarios a 1 loss BYU doesn't get in

stansburycoug

10:39am

We can still get in if KSU beats ISU with 1 loss, that 1 loss can only be to ASU
