BYU Cougars: The Cougars rank second in ESPN's strength of record metric after wins against SMU and K-State, which are both ranked in the top 20 of ESPN's Football Power Index. They also nearly lost to Baylor. BYU now has the second-best chance to win the Big 12 (15.6%) behind Iowa State (20.4%). https://www.espn.com/college-football/insider/story/_/id/41531780/college-football-playoff-2024-week-6-bubble-watch-predictions
