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

SoBlueitHurts

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

Seems you have forgotten Gary Barta's mental gymnastics.

New era with a new level of SEC and B1G bias

SoBlueitHurts

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

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 30, 1:55pm

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

You heard Gary Barta in 2020. Do you really think the committee will not find a

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

BYUFootballisBack

Sep 30, 3:28pm

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

BYUCLA

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)

zuko

Sep 30, 8:00am

I think that would be ideal.

fbguru

Sep 30, 8:13am

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. 🙂

Fortunately each will only have one loss.

Why didn't you think of this before the season started?

Yikes, the Colorado hype would be insufferable.

Someone needs to reply with detailed study of all 2024 B12 tiebreaker scenarios

There have literally only been 13 undefeated P5(4) teams in the playoffs in 9 yr

VERY IDEAL! Best way to get 3 teams in CFB Playoff!

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

If we go undefeated in conference but get left out of the championship, we get a

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