I simulated the rest of the season 100,000 times. BYU made the CCG in 40.5%
I used Massey Composite Ratings for win probabilities. One significant limitation is that I my simulations currently don't have the capability to recalculate win probabilities partway through the season. For example, if we are 11-0 when we play Houston, our win probability in that game should be significantly higher than if we are 6-5, but I currently can't account for that. For you stats nerds, I assumed that the winner of each game is a random variable that is independent from the winner of every other game, even though I know that is not true. In the future I hope to improve this.

Results are below.

This is our probability of finishing the regular season ranked so high in the conference based only on conference record (no tiebreakers). If three teams are tied for first place and then BYU is tied for second place with three other teams, that is recorded here as rank 4.

BYU B12 Rankings Detailed:

This breaks out the odds of being ranked in each place by looking at whether we won that spot outright or were tied with various numbers of other teams. For example, T2(4) means we were in a 4-way tie for 2nd place. Results with probability < 0.1% are omitted.
