Committee doesn’t penalize teams that lose in their conference championship game as long as they were competitive.

SMU looks WAY better than BYU

I think we saw the result. They have a better O. We have a better D.

Yeah, lower SoS will do that

You’re likely right but Clemson isn’t great by any means

BYU '80

And they are going to the CFP… 🤮

They won their conference, what do you want?

Non automatic bid for conference champions.

Then we will have 10 teams from the SEC and B1G in the playoffs haha

BYU would have looked even better against that G6 SOS.

Not g5 esque. SOS is a bad metric

BYU '80

They had 8 wins because they were in the ACC.

I'llgive you a pass for saying that considering what happened to your team today

Don’t we play the games so the “eye” test doesn’t matter? BYU beat SMU in their

Did you watch their games against Duke and BC?

Iowa St got punished on the field

The old eye test we should just watch practices

Why do HYPOTHETICAL wins count more than ACTUAL wins in this sport?

Bro… Iowa state just got MURDERED in the CCG. Sit down.

Title game loss. That’s the reason

BYU '80

BYU didn't get a chance for title game because of lame tiebreakers

11-2 >>>> 10-2

RGGeemer

One of the losses is head to head

And each lost to their conference champion.

Sure even if you lose head to head.

johnnybyu

Dec 7, 10:59pm

Not when you play in a weaker conference

slatecoug

Dec 8, 4:08am

The problem is how much can you really discipline a team for making the CCG?

y2kougar

Dec 7, 10:52pm

The real problem is, no one is asking the question, why is the CFP Committee

Simple: more fans and money and voters on the east Coast!

Xenon

Dec 7, 10:59pm

Texas is the east coast now?

BaseCoug

Dec 7, 11:17pm

SMU is not on east coast, and BYU has a much larger fanbase

zerome4sooners

SMU has a very small, but rich, fanbase. Don't bring eyeballs like BYU.

No unranked losses.

That’s still dumb. Their only ranked win was in the CCG.

If the ACC were as competitive as the Big 12 that would make sense, but the

It is called TV money. The ACC/B12 split 3 spots. B12 got bye, ACC 2 teams.
