Your standard for relevancy is interesting.

I tend to think of the first and second teams out as having some degree of relevancy when discussing the CFP committee's selection criteria. We're talking about the B12 being a one-bid league this year and why that is the case and so it is "relevant" that the B12 would remain a 1 bid league even if Clemson missed that FG putting 'Bama in AND if Notre Dame lost a couple more games putting Miami in.

Three major factors made the B12 a one bid league this year...

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 4:21am

Boo hoo. Instead of whining about bias, why don’t you tell us which Big 12 team,

garyfan

Dec 8, 5:26am

Only one had a worthy resume? That’s dumb. There was a four-way tie for first with identical records

2FarGone

Dec 8, 5:53am

Identical conference records; only a 3 way tie with identical records

Garyfan spent all day yesterday doing this. You can’t fix dumb so don’t even try

Dec 8, 8:13am

The entire country agrees with me but you’re right dallasboy, LOL.

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:15am

The media does. Yeah they’re a good partner to latch onto

BYU '80

Dec 8, 9:36am

Funny how I asked people to name the playoff team that should get bounced to

Yeah that’s a tough argument to make tbh.

garyfan

Dec 8, 12:50pm

you are right tough argument....head to head victory, better SOS...wake up!!

RE: you are right tough argument....head to head victory, better SOS...wake up!!

garyfan

Dec 8, 1:21pm

my head isn't the one buried in the sand...you give no credible evidence as

imdocrob

Dec 8, 1:25pm

No evidence … except for the post you responded to. LOL.

garyfan

RE: No evidence … except for the post you responded to. LOL.

imdocrob

Dec 8, 1:42pm

Tired of his nonsense. One more for the ignored folder.

DeepCCoug

Dec 8, 9:42am

^^^ Also frustrated that he can’t name a playoff team BYU should bounce out.

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:56am

Since we don’t know who is in yet, kinda hard. But how about SMU, Miami to start

Future_Tacos

Dec 8, 10:30am

Miami is out. And make the case for BYU over SMU…

garyfan

Dec 8, 10:53am

Head to head. Sometimes important. Much better sos

BYU '80

Dec 8, 12:26pm

Stop that Gary doesn't like facts like that

imdocrob

Dec 8, 3:45pm

It’s almost as if there is more than one factor to consider.

garyfan

Dec 8, 3:49pm

Your the dumb one 4 saying SMU with a weaker strength of schedule and a head to head loss should get in over us. I'd say

NonmormonYfan89

Dec 8, 7:47pm

LOL. SMU had only one loss in the regular season.

garyfan

Dec 8, 7:51pm

Yeah, because they didn't play anyone. This the SOS part. The ACC wasn't even close to as good as the Big12 this year.

NonmormonYfan89

Dec 8, 7:57pm

So you’re saying BYU doesn’t have any good wins?

garyfan

Dec 8, 8:01pm

SMU lost head to head, had weaker SOS and weaker SOR. Ranked 7 slots above us.

Threw and Through

Dec 8, 3:58pm

They also had one regular season loss while we had two.

garyfan

Dec 8, 4:05pm

They also played in a weaker conf. & played an easier schedule

slatecoug

Dec 8, 4:10pm

So you’re saying our best win maybe wasn’t all that good?

garyfan

Dec 8, 4:50pm

You should be Biden's Press Sec.

slatecoug

Dec 9, 2:32pm

It helps that everything I say is true.

garyfan

Dec 9, 7:38pm

I know Jen Psaki and CJP believe the same thing about what they say.

slatecoug

Dec 10, 3:17pm

BYU should be in over Miami. Miami beat absolutely nobody good.

marinact

Dec 8, 7:23am

Technically you could argue byu should be in over Indiana, Miami, and penn state

jigidajrit

Dec 8, 7:45am

Miami isn’t a playoff team, so…

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:15am

They were the second team out behind 'Bama...so...

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 1:17pm

So … not a playoff team. Like I said.

garyfan

Dec 8, 1:22pm

Your standard for relevancy is interesting.

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 2:45pm

Everyone has known for more than a week that Miami was not getting in.

garyfan

Dec 8, 3:06pm

Can you direct me to where I said BYU should be in the playoff in my OP?

WVU_Prof

Dec 9, 3:34am

You said bias is one reason the Big 12 is a 1-bid conference, and I’m asking

garyfan

Dec 9, 5:04am

So bias can only exist if it keeps BYU out of the B12...

WVU_Prof

Dec 9, 5:29am

Say that again, slower

NGB

Dec 8, 10:51am

RE: Boo hoo. Instead of whining about bias, why don’t you tell us which Big 12 team,

Soupie

Dec 8, 8:48am

BYU has the 12th best resume in the country this season. They should be top 12.

here's to hoping

Dec 8, 10:25am

BYU should be in over Alabama, Miami, duh.

RoboKayne

Dec 8, 10:28am

Update: this was before I saw that SMU was in. I guess I'm stumped now.

BYU had an sos in the 30s in every sos ive seen

BYU '80

Dec 8, 12:25pm

BYU deserves the At Large bid over SMU

slatecoug

Dec 8, 2:18pm

Kansas' little temper tantrum did a real number on the conference

jrifkin48

Dec 8, 6:11am

4. Having 9 conference games. BYU vs Colorado would've been the CCG with 8 games

Dec 8, 6:40am

Factor #4 - Big12 teams didn't play at a CFP level

MyTwoCents

Dec 8, 8:00am

Already beat Smu and Indiana is a paper tiger.

BYU '80

Dec 8, 9:38am

So because the Big 12 doesn't have a bunch of garbage at the bottom of the conf,

slatecoug

RE: Three major factors made the B12 a one bid league this year...

Pretorian

Dec 8, 9:52am

And our top bowl option ensures another BXII loss. BXII needs a better strategy.

Cosmos-beard-card

Dec 8, 10:06am

Just a temporary situation. Wouldn’t choose that.

Soupie

Dec 8, 10:09am

Factor 1 is demonstrably false

NGB

Dec 8, 10:52am

The SEC is solid, but do they deserve 4-5 spots in the CFP???

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 1:10pm

They got 3

NGB

Dec 8, 1:15pm

B1G got 4 and 'Bama was the first team out...if Clemson misses FG, both get 4.

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 2:35pm

And if not for one bad play against Kansas, the Bug 12 gets 2 teams in the CFP.

garyfan

Dec 9, 6:22am

Unless BYU had won the CCG.

Dec 9, 6:25am

True. 3-loss ASU would have been out. But I’m trying to turn just one dial

garyfan

Dec 9, 6:29am

You seem to love talking about bias...that was a small part of my OP...

WVU_Prof

Dec 9, 7:32am

It was literally the lead point of your OP.

garyfan

Dec 9, 7:55am

Can we blame them for the bias? A look at the last 10-20 years of CFP champs

MD Rebel Coug

Dec 8, 11:36am

But some of their advantages are gone now. I think it worries them.

Dec 8, 11:53am

Yes, we can blame them. Also, I saw a great YT video that explained that the SEC

RoboKayne

Dec 9, 9:31am

Kansas didn’t finish same as Utah. 4-5 for KU and 2-7 for Utah.

dtownCoug

Dec 8, 8:00pm

Same overall record...but the way I wrote it suggests conf. record.
