I was thinking about what might happen if the Big 12 ends up with (2) 12-1 teams
and an 11-1 team?
IMO, the SEC is unlikely to finish with more than 2, one loss teams. ACC OTOH, that's hard to say.

Yes. They are good. Took ISU down to the wire and have great team speed.

For kicks, what if we are 10-1 going into the conference championship game, but lose that game? Are we in CFP at 10-2?

In a 3-way tie between Kansas St., BYU, and Colorado, it's also KSU and BYU.

Actually H2H only applies if all tied teams played each other or one beat all
