(1) BYU (or Iowa St) as a Top-5 unbeaten (& therefore beyond ALL reproach).
(2) 2-loss Colorado as the win-streaking rep of Prime Inc.
(3) 2-loss KState as the loser of the Big 12 Title game (but more importantly, as CU's undeniable daddy).
(For it to work, the "other" of BYU & Iowa St has to end up with at least two losses.)
OR KState needs to lose 2 more (& I'm not seeing that happening; in fact, I think they win their game in Ames).
OR If KState were to beat us in a Big 12 rematch, we could both only have one loss. To get in CU the Selection Committee would need to take all three of us then, too. But that works only if Iowa St has at least 2 losses by then (& therefore DOESN'T trump CU). If they can't justify CU in, I really think they take only one Big 12 team — the Champion.
