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

Cougar TD

9:59am

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

CougarTwins

10:02am

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

Cougar TD

10:04am

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

stansburycoug

Even a 2 loss team with 11 wins is likely to get in. Highly unlikely an 11 win

NYC and Japan

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

cougarfan84

10:04am

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

cougarfan84

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

NYC and Japan

12:25pm

Every 11-win P5 team since the start of the CFP has finished in the top 11.

cougarfan84

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

BYU Fan

10:05am

It could happen based on circumstances

Belboz

10:08am

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

BYU Fan

10:21am

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

10:30am

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

BYU Fan

10:50am

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

Doogal McCougar

10:14am

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

jreid191

10:19am

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

10:19am

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

NOCAL_YFAN

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

BYUFootballisBack

10:53am

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

jreid191

11:35am

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

NOCAL_YFAN

11:40am

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

jreid191

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

NOCAL_YFAN

11:50am

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

My gut tells me this is what will happen and I base it on Gary Barta explaining

2 teams losing to freakin' Pitt did not help

SoBlueitHurts

1:13pm

Just looked back over the last several years, and based off history a B12 team

jreid191

11:21am

I think it is a generally safe assumption to say 11 wins or conference champion

cougarfan84

I think so.

This is my feeling, sadly

ESPN projects a 2 loss BYU gets in

Let's find out! Go Cougs! Or just win CCG and make it a moot point

NYC and Japan

if the season ended today, B12 would only have one in (the champ)

Maybe, but not for sure. There is no current CFB Playoff Committee ranking to
