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

I guarantee that won’t happen

Is that a beefy burrito promise?

Yes RdF3, are you willing to be a REAL college football fan and back up that

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

byuinva

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

Extremely unlikely to have a 2 way tie for the second spot after all those tie-

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

Stalwart Man

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

Even *if* we were left out of the B12 champ game (in that scenario), we'd be a

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

SoBlueitHurts

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

BYUFootballisBack

10:32am

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

SoBlueitHurts

12:56pm

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

BYUFootballisBack

1:51pm

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

BYUCLA

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

Seems you have forgotten Gary Barta's mental gymnastics.

SoBlueitHurts

All 12-1 or better P4 teams will be in the playoff (barring a historical season

You heard Gary Barta in 2020. Do you really think the committee will not find a

SoBlueitHurts

2:42pm

There are almost never more than 12 P5 teams with 2 or less losses, I could see

BYUFootballisBack

2:48pm

I think we are saying that even with 2-loss B1G/SEC teams ahead of 1-loss Big 12

BYUCLA

2:48pm

Exactly this, 1 loss power 4/5 teams have ALWAYS been top 10, always, there just

BYUFootballisBack

2:49pm

I am more confident in the math of two loss teams than I am the rankings

SoBlueitHurts

3:13pm

A 2 loss Big12 team likely only gets in if they win the CCG

BYUFootballisBack

3:28pm

This seems likely, but we were talking 2 loss from those and 1 from ours. Very

I think they think we will beat each other up. But I really question how ACC

SoBlueitHurts

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

zuko

I think that would be ideal.

fbguru

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

We play tougher teams than Colorado in conference and are 3-0 noncon

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

Fortunately each will only have one loss.

Ripliancum

Why didn't you think of this before the season started?

Yikes, the Colorado hype would be insufferable.

Someone needs to reply with detailed study of all 2024 B12 tiebreaker scenarios

Cooouuugs

There have literally only been 13 undefeated P5(4) teams in the playoffs in 9 yr

VERY IDEAL! Best way to get 3 teams in CFB Playoff!

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

If we go undefeated in conference but get left out of the championship, we get a

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