there is a 6% chance Utah will be ranked higher than byu at end of season.

Still off by a factor of 10 but you get partial credit for showing your work

Fixed it professor ha. Good catch

That is not quite correct since Utah finishing in 4th likely means beating BYU

I think you’re reading it wrong. Need to multiply probabilities, not add them.

Yup, I was. I redid it

I looked at it and 99.2% of the time BYU better; 0.2% Utah better and tie 0.6%

No - if they tie for first then they both show up in the 1 column. Don't try to do tie breakers here.

So 82% chance we make the Big 12 CCG. That's all that matters.

No - 82% that we are in 1st or 2nd place. 31% of the time we'd be tied and need to win tiebreaker to get to CCG.
