Statistically speaking, BYU is VERY likely to lose one of the next 5 games—which

This week is a scary one. Feels like CC. Two time zones. Undefeated. Quirky

3-4 is good? You don't sleep on them but you shouldn't play

gopman

Yes. They are good. Took ISU down to the wire and have great team speed.

If we can win this game, I think we can run the table. This game worries me

I'll grant you that at the P4 level "anyone" can beat anyone on any

gopman

They'll overcome all that. 8-0 is on its way.

Agreed but the fact that we are facing a run heavy team two weeks straight

We have three solid corners in JRob, Marque Collins & Evan Johnson.

We've won our two games where we played poorly. Play well at UCF and it's a win.

Hate to break it to you but a 1 loss BYU misses the CCG if Iowa State and

There's a lot of football to be played. Very likely those teams lose again

We have the tiebreaker over Kansas St if we have one loss. We beat them.

cambo

He's talking about a 3-way tie (KState, Iowa State, BYU)

9:04am

Wait wait, show the work for my edification. 1st tiebreaker is H2H, which we

RoboKayne

7:03am

They wouldn't. In that scenario BYU and Kansas St. make the title game

cougarfan84

If it's more than 2 teams in the tie, head to head is ignored, unless the tied

BYU 11-1 very likely in playoffs. Very few 1 loss teams missed the 4 team CFP

NYC and Japan

7:07am

For kicks, what if we are 10-1 going into the conference championship game, but lose that game? Are we in CFP at 10-2?

dingus79

9:15am

You mean 11-1 and 11-2, yes I think it unlikely an 11 win team misses CFP based

NYC and Japan

9:23am

Oh yeah, sorry, fuzzy math

dingus79

Depends on how many 2-loss SEC and BigX teams there are

byugrad+fan

Yes and no.

Problems arise if the ACC has 3 11+ win teams, Big 12 has 3 11+ win teams, ND

What are you talking about? First tiebreaker is H2H and BYU would be 1-0 while

7:42am

Colorado was also mentioned. Would we be above them as well?

rebelCoug

7:54am

I ask because I don't know the tie breakers.

rebelCoug

7:54am

In a 3-way tie between Kansas St., BYU, and Colorado, it's also KSU and BYU.

cougarfan84

8:07am

Actually H2H only applies if all tied teams played each other or one beat all

zuko

8:00am

You're right. I missed that caveat in the rules. I'll have to look at the

OK. Looking at the tiebreakers, let's take the scenario where the favored team

These simulations agree with your thinking. Colorado very rarely gets in over us

zuko

Right. If BYU is on the losing side of a multi-team tiebreaker, it's likely

Great analysis. Thanks.

1-loss BYU makes the CCG in 95.7% of my simulations. Of course this depends on

Statistically speaking, 100 football seasons in school history. 1 undefeated.

Like Okie St, KU is looking like they're finally starting to wake up. They got some serious offensive talent.

SinkingQuffa

4:41am

LOL what? They played Houston...You could sleepwalk to a win against them.

kaladin58

6:44am

Houston plays hard. They're scrappy & play with pride, despite the youth & holes in the talent. They'd just come off

SinkingQuffa

I’m going to focus on the wrong game. I hope I don’t ruin it for everyone.

ESPN FPI shows 10-2 is most likely

Tuskaloosa Cougar

5:34am

Yeah, I don't think that's what those numbers mean

CommodoreCoug

10-2 is most likely

zuko

Agree in the way it’s presented it’s not what they mean. But 10-2 is most likely

Also, statistically speaking, BYU was very likely to lose one of its first 7.

While I want BYU undefeated I understand the odds are against us.

Iowa State as lucky as we were to pull off that win last Saturday.
