If ASU wins out and finishes 11-2 it will have 3 wins over ranked opponents over the last 5 games. That will pass the eye test (not to mention ASU will sell out the Fiesta Bowl). If CU wins and is 11-2 it leap frogs Boise with a ranked conference champion opponent better than what Boise will play (likely CSU). Colorado represents ratings and that will move it past Boise.

Since this is all about brands folks need to realize CU with Deion has B1G/SEC brand power. While it won’t get them an at large it will get them a first round bye.
