If SMU wins ACC, it might slightly help BYU's chances

Committee hasn't respected SMU or BYU all season. But if SMU wins the ACC, that will be one of BYU's best regular season wins and not just this season but all time.

It probably takes the probability up 3x! From 0.1% to 0.3%. 🙂

Per ESPN, 11 playoff spots are locked up (95+%)

So what scenario gets BYU in?

None

Realistically... This is true.

That would not be unprecedented if BYU were in the SEC or BIG.

Unless we could trick the committee into believing we are Alabama!

Beating Kansas.

Too soon! Lol

I would give a 3 loss Colorado a much better chance of getting in. Eyeballs.

I was first to say no chance after KSU loss…but if we really have 15% chance…

Bama has no business being in the conversation

But its Alabama! They pass the eye, quality loss and taste tests.

They have the right brand and conference.

If Boise loses the championship game they don't get in.

But then unlv does

I agree, but ESPN has some probability of that happening

Boise is the one team I'll give a "quality loss" to.

jrifkin48

Dec 1, 1:48pm

But they have no quality wins.

You play with the hand your dealt with. We can't be snobby to G5 teams

jrifkin48

Dec 1, 3:11pm

But they didn't win. They lose again and they should be out.

chrisoc13

Dec 1, 3:16pm

They play in a lesser conference and don't play the same gauntlet we do, so it's not fair to hold to the same standard

krindorr

2 losses is too many. Same reason we're out. It's pretty straightforward.

chrisoc13

Gauntlet? Our strength of schedule isn't top 30

Goliath

I don't think we deserve it with two losses. A playoff team has no business

chrisoc13

Dec 1, 7:22pm

Especially at that time of year

Goliath

They beat a good Wash St team and a ranked UNLV team

Goliath

Compare the blind resume of those 4 teams and BYU has a chance. Stick a logo on

Notre Dame can never get a bye, is that right? Or can they be de facto ACC champ

At large only

This is awesome, actually. If you are on the committee, how many teams do you

RoboKayne

Dec 1, 2:05pm

No way we get in over Miami. Or any of those teams. But cool to be so close I

Why is Georgia locked in? They lose to TX and they have 3 losses. That

robin

Dec 1, 3:40pm

Georgia has a top 10 SOS with wins over Texas and Tennessee. They are a lock.

royal_blue

Dec 1, 3:55pm

Wouldn’t BYU’s spot there go to the Big12 CCG loser instead?

icecougar

Dec 1, 4:43pm

BYU w/ 2 losses would beat out another Big12 team w/ 3 losses

Hill4Heisman

Dec 1, 5:07pm

Choice would be between BYU w/ losses and a SEC team w/ 3 (Bama or SC)

ACC is a joke

Goliath

Their 5th place team took Georgia to the brink. Key no-calls saved GA.

Albuq_Coug

Georgia is in a down year and that is a rivalry game.

Goliath

Dec 1, 6:48pm

Refs tried to cheat Georgia? Lol.

dfudge

Dec 1, 7:32pm

Indiana have a locked up spot is a joke based on their resume

slatecoug

Dec 1, 6:33pm

I hate that Bama even has a chance. Their worst team in years

Resurgens

Dec 1, 7:52pm

BYU's chances are 0% no matter what happens.
