KSU being the best common opponent could give us tiebreaker over anyone else

That's not how the tiebreaker works, we lose all 3-team tiebreaker scenarios. We

Please correct me then on how it works, this is how I read it.

I didn't claim H2H. Here is the actual tiebreakers

We lose every 3-way tie breaker involving combinations of BYU, Colorado,

I just did. If our only loss is ASU and KSU beats ISU it lists us as 2nd place

I responded on the other thread but I like this. Kansas is most scary then.

Not sure a 4 way tie is possible.

cougaman

It is. BYU loses one, CU wins out and KSU beats ISU

I keep thinking OSU already has 1 loss

cougaman

Oct 26, 10:34pm

If byu, ksu and Colorado are tied, how does BYU not win the tiebreaker?

You think the small impact to our resume is more important than the tangible

Oct 26, 9:27pm

Yeah cause Iowa state has some tough games ahead

But there’s so many other things that can still happen. We’re only barely halfwa

It’s kinda a win-win

WE have to beat Kansas.

Yes this is the way

If BYU wins out, we want KSU to win out. If BYU loses one, we want KSU to lose
