at-large bid into the playoff over the team that got their second loss in the conference championship game (especially if KSt. lost to Iowa St.).

For the smart people, does 11-1 guarantee we play for a conference championship?

FrontLineFan

10:28am

No. If there’s a three way tie between us, KSU, and ISU, we’re out

RealTaysomHill

Welp, undefeated it is!

FrontLineFan

10:30am

There are other teams that could join a tie too - Colorado and Cincinnati

Doubt it - committee has historically not punished teams for losing their 13th

RGGeemer

10:42am

They’ve also never placed a 1-loss P5 team worse than 7th

BYUCLA

1:49pm

Also true. Just depends on how many 0 and 1 loss teams there are in the P4 this

RGGeemer

How could there be a 3 way tie if we only have one loss

Lifer

KSU beats ISU. No tiebreaker if we didn’t all play.

shimmy

10:33am

We’d have the tie breaker over Kansas St.

Superman21

10:39am

Doesn't matter since we didn't play Iowa State. Head to head doesn't apply in

RGGeemer

10:43am

So we beat KState, if they beat ISU and we both have 1 loss then KState and ISU

Bryceo19

11:06am

We would get in over ISU

RGGeemer

12:05pm

If both of us and ISU have 1 loss we get in over them? How?

Bryceo19

7:23pm

BYU, KSU, and ISU could all be 8-1. 3-way tie.

RGGeemer

10:43am

There are special tiebreaker rules for a 3-way tie.

Why would KSU get on over BYU? BYU has the head to head tie breaker over them

That's certainly how I've understood it with what many others have been saying

BackPacker

Head to head does not apply if not all tied teams played each other according to

RGGeemer

10:46am

That’s not how B12 rules work for a 3 way tie. Head to head won’t matter in 3 way between KSU, ISU and BYU.

I think we might make it as the 2nd team in, actually. If K St wins the

I'm not sure that is the case, but could be wrong. Below is a copy of

It looks like if KSU beats ISU and we lose to someone on our schedule...

SouthernCoug

Not quite. K St would win the tiebreaker most likely in the 3-way, and then we

It seems according to the rules posted, if the tied teams did not all play

10:53am

What? Why answer if you don't know. We are in if 11-1. KSU can't get in over

archie

11:34am

Head to head doesn’t apply in a multi team tie. Read the rules before you accuse someone of not knowing what they are

RealTaysomHill

11:40am

We would be in, but so would K St

I dont think that is right.

Zoobieman

2:26pm

How would we have the H2H tiebreaker with Iowa State?

RealTaysomHill

2:36pm

Because we beat the #1 team (K St) and ISU lost to them

RGGeemer

2:41pm

What RG said. . . We have the better record against the best common opponent.

Zoobieman

2:42pm

That’s not a H2H tiebreaker

RealTaysomHill

2:49pm

It's the 2-team tiebreaker, which I assume is what he meant.

RGGeemer

3:14pm

Ah. I read H2H as “head to head,” meaning what happened when we played head to head

RealTaysomHill

Why?

fulano

10:56am

Here are the tiebreaker scenarios for that (would be KSU vs ISU).

jreid191

10:57am

Not quite true. Your 3-way tie would play out that way and K State would win

RGGeemer

10:59am

That makes sense as well. I'm so confused. Just win baby!!!

UMWolverine

Just read through it again and it looks like you're probably right. However, I

BYUCLA

Thank you. That make sense.

UMWolverine

11:01am

Yes. More teams that are 3-1 need to lose. We have a tiebreaker over KSU

Blue Ghost

The good news is they will. They all play each other pretty much.

That is why we should all be Kansas St fans. Against us, it's like they have 2
