The most a team has dropped in the rankings after losing a CCG? 4 spots

5:43pm

If BYU wins 4 of its next 5 games it is probably in.

5:44pm

12-1 and we are in

5:44pm

If we win the CCG. I don't see it otherwise. I think the rankings today proved..

Nah, that's silly to penalize a team for playing in the CCG

5:45pm

It's silly, but it's reality.

Team Chaos

5:46pm

It's not, though. There is no precedent for a team dropping that far in the

I'm imagining a scenario where Boise State wins out and we lose in the CCG. In..

Team Chaos

Boise State is already in - they aren't taking someone's spot

5:50pm

They already have. There's only one team from the Big 12 in right now.

Team Chaos

Not all the top 12 teams will win the rest of their games

12 wins > 11 wins

That would matter if you or I were on the committee. Not as presently constitute

Team Chaos

That scenario isn't supported by history

There is history of the CFP rankings

5:50pm

That's not even close to the same thing. Those rankings only mattered to the...

Team Chaos

5:52pm

It mattered for NY6 games

5:53pm

No, it didn't. Those bowls weren't obligated to take CFP-ranked teams.

Team Chaos
