I really think there was a viable path this year for the B12 to get 2 teams in.

We will never know obviously, but I think BYU going undefeated until the CCG would (even a strong possibility) have resulted in 2 B12 teams in the playoff. So, some day could have been in Year 1 of the revised playoff model.

There has been a lot of argument on this board about the playoffs being unfair. I guess I'm a little surprised that

Let's take Ohio St. They have a worse SOS than BYU and the same amount of losses. They are at #2

LOL, did you look at the teams they beat? Apparently not. If BYU's SOS is better than Ohio State's, they have

I’m not sure you understand how strength of schedule works

Penn State’s resume is poor? Their strength of schedule is one spot behind BYU’s

And yet they struggled against Nebraska. Or did you just leave that out? Nebraska is rated one spot

I obviously didn’t leave Nebraska out. Again, you’re being disingenuous with your arguments here

Oh the old "trap game" argument. BYU struggles, but Nebraska just has trap games.
