The Big12 could get 3 teams in the CFP if Kstate, BYU, and ISU go undefeated the

rest of the way except Kstate beats ISU and BYU in the CCG. Each team would end with only 1 loss.

I hadn't really considered this until today. But would BYU need to win the Big12

could, but would they? I would be shocked with 3 Big12 teams.

I think most would be shocked with 3 Big 12 teams, because they don't trust any

The odds are stacked against the outcome, but a 1 loss B12

There are a lot of other factors - namely what other teams in the country do.

To be safe a team needs to be in the top 10 maybe 11 in rankings for an at large spot.

Last year, the #11 team would have been the last at-large bid. That team was

I think 11-2 (lose CCG) probably gets you in. 10-2 is risky.

I don't think that the Big 12 will be given an at-large bid

BYU Fan

It could happen based on circumstances

It could but when push comes to shove, the Big 12 will get excluded

BYU Fan

It probably depends on other circumstances. I think a 1 loss Utah team

Belboz

10:28am

But to get an at-large bid, Utah would be at best 11-2

BYU Fan

that was a bad one. How about Iowa State or BYU?

Belboz

10:40am

It's certainly possible and would probably be deserved at 12-1

Looking back 5 season (skipping Covid year), 100% of teams with 11-2 records or

and a 1 loss Big 12 team would be even more likely to make it.

11 wins basically guarantees BYU a top-10 CFP ranking and thus a likely CFP bid

10-2 in the regular season puts them in the discussion for an at-large bid, but

jreid191

Isn't most likely that if the B12 gets 2 teams in, it will be the winner and loser of the conference championship game?

HarlemCoug

Absolutely. Losing in the CCG typically doesn't result in a drop in ranking

jreid191

10:26am

There are 7 at large bids available. Notre Dame just has to be decent and they

There is a 0% chance any 8-4 or 9-3 team gets in over any 11-1 P4 team

There are currently 7 non-Big12 teams with 1 loss ranked ahead of BYU and all

Every 11-win P4 will almost for sure make the playoff. The question comes to

I agree on 8 win teams, 9 win teams are going to depend on who it is

Except for the fact that a 9-win team from SEC/B1G has literally NEVER been

You're making the mistake of equating P5 with the current P2+2. The better

In that case we have a sample size of 0. Only close comparison in that case

You're assuming SEC and B1G control the committee, which is inaccurate. I think
