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

Nov 5, 5:43pm

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

Nov 5, 5:44pm

12-1 and we are in

Nov 5, 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

Nov 5, 5:45pm

It's silly, but it's reality.

Team Chaos

Nov 5, 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..

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

Nov 5, 5:50pm

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

Team Chaos

Nov 5, 5:51pm

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

Nov 5, 5:53pm

That's not what I mean. There will be other teams in the SEC or B1G that are...

Yeah, don't get your hopes up for them sticking with that standard for BYU

Nov 5, 5:44pm

It's tough to explain how a team sitting at home should jump a team playing for

Nov 5, 5:45pm

But that's the reality when you're up against the SEC and B1G.

12 wins > 11 wins

Nov 5, 5:46pm

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

Team Chaos

Nov 5, 5:47pm

That scenario isn't supported by history

Nov 5, 5:48pm

There is no history. This is the first year of a 12-team playoff. You're making

There is history of the CFP rankings

It mattered for NY6 games

Nov 5, 5:53pm

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