An undefeated P4 team would almost certainly earn at at large bid

It could happen but I think the committee would be intent on not repeating an FSU situation like last year. Much easier to remedy that with 7 at large bids.

This isn’t ideal… it’s possible for BYU, Iowa State and Colorado to go undefeated in conference.

We go undefeated in conference, we're actually undefeated. We wouldn't be left

It looks like that’s a tiebreaker after conference SOS

I’m sure this will never happen, but theoretically, how does a coin toss work

Probably either flip 3 coins simultaneously and odd man out is out of the CC

That should favor us (at least for now) since KSU, Utah, Arizona, and maybe OkSt

I don’t think the undefeated thing will be an issue this year, but a 16 team, divisionless conference

Very true. The only downside is we'd be locked out of the opportunity to claim

A home playoff game would be better than a buy but don't see that ever happening

It would be fine because all 3 would make the playoff so no big deal.

A 12-0 Big 12 team is not getting left out and neither is a 12-1 for that matter

Agree on 12-0, disagree on 12-1 for at large

How many 12-1 P5 teams have not been ranked top 12 ever?

BYUFootballisBack

1:43pm

2 loss p5 teams don't always make it, but most of the time they are still top 12

BYUFootballisBack

1:49pm

The caveat to this is that #12 would have been left out most years as the G5

So the lowest a 1-loss P5 team has been ranked is #7 but some think a 1-loss

People don't realize just how few teams go undefeated or only 1 loss every year

In that scenario, it would come down to tiebreaker rule 4 (in-conference SOS)

Big 12 would have a decent shot to get 3 teams in the CFP. That is ideal.

Always nice to realize that anyone we play won't go undefeated. 🙂

Fortunately each will only have one loss.

I hate large conferences for this reason. The champion can still be subjective.

Ain't gonna happen for ANY of us. KState's the favorite to win the conf, imo. Their huge slip-up to us notwithstanding.
