the good of the league. Especially if it’s against the utes. Wouldn’t mind that at all. Karma for 2010 and 2016

There are 6 teams that can finish with 1 loss or fewer in Big 12. But they all

No, this is different.

We just need to win!

Seems crazy that there are so many teams we don't play.

momowagon

9 games in a 16 team conf.

Soupie

10:56am

This is the new normal with these huge conferences and no divisions. It leads to all these weird tie breaker scenarios

YIsForBrigham

If we had 1 loss right now, this situation would be really frustrating. I hope

The KSU vs ISU game will most likely determine who goes to CCG. Love a BYU/ISU CCG but BYU still has to win.

Soupie

10:55am

Which is bad news for us when it comes to possible tiebreakers. This means we

Crazy to see that BYU has played/will play the big12 current bottom 7 teams!

FrankenCoug

11:02am

Bottom 7 after 4 games is not necessarily same after 9 games

Especially when you consider preseason predicted records...

I don't see Utah on that list. Where are they?

Sparkling Delirium

11:00am

The list does not include teams not in contention, or which really really suck.

All-American

11:06am

That was kind of the point

Sparkling Delirium

11:14am

The point being that Utah really really sucks, just to be clear.

It's about Prestige too. We want in and we want to face KSU

DataMouth

11:01am

Did you miss the game earlier this season. BYU already beat KSU by 29 pts.

Soupie

11:06am

Yeah - Yet KSU still has the most national respect IMO - Let's beat them again

DataMouth

11:11am

Feel that's shifted but who cares anyway? Keep getting scoreboard & it won't matter.

Soupie

11:13am

CO would get us a ton of eyeballs in the CCG. Hard to believe the committee

momowagon

Remarkable. At the beginning of the year we thought BYU's schedule was stacked.

All-American

11:05am

It was but that was based on ridiculous preseason ranks.

Soupie

11:06am

Yeah, not a great look for preseason predictions. Some bad whiffs all around.

All-American

11:10am

To be fair, there are 8 new teams within the last 2 years. Voters don't really

Still half a conference season to go, low key hate big conferences

It looks like CO has the easiest path.

The most important loss that we need is this weekend. Colorado needs to lose

Best Guess

I may be rooting for Utah to beat Colorado....

RGGeemer

RE: I may be rooting for Utah to beat Colorado....

RGGeemer

12:04pm

if we have only 1 loss we are still guaranteed to make the CCG

realisticCoug42

12:06pm

I'm not sure that is true. I've counted 7 different "tie scenarios" possible

rcbyufan

12:09pm

it depends on common opponents and who the loss is to.

molodyets

2:10pm

Not guaranteed - depends on tiebreakers. We really need K State to keep

RGGeemer

12:16pm

Crazy how bad preseason predictions were. All 5 play 2 or 3 games…ISU 3

NYC and Japan

12:11pm

I could realistically see BYU, K state, Iowa St, and CU all have one loss

byuchocolatemilk

12:32pm

That is the only 4 way tie possible.

rcbyufan

12:36pm

And probably puts us at #4 in that scenario:(

Burton162

1:50pm

If there's a 4 way tie at 8-1:

molodyets

2:10pm

Can you walk me through that? I would have thought K St and ISU would get in

RGGeemer

2:23pm

Or would K State win the 1st tiebreaker and we win the 2nd because we beat K St?

RGGeemer

2:24pm

The only way that 4 way tie can happen is if ISU's only loss is to KSU.

molodyets

2:33pm

Are we sure KSU would win the 4-way tiebreaker with SOS? Or is that an

RGGeemer

2:37pm

Might be an assumption but they would have played all 8-1 BYU, ISU, and Colorado

rcbyufan

2:49pm

Who is in if Iowa St is undefeated and BYU and Colo both 1 loss?

libertycoug

12:38pm

Depends on where K State ends up compared to other teams we and Colorado both

RGGeemer

12:46pm

We are in. We beat KState and Colorado lost to them.

rcbyufan

12:47pm

Unless we lose to UCF and they end up higher than K State. Just depends at this

RGGeemer

12:48pm

This is technically correct. If UCF wins 5 in a row and KState loses 3, we
