11-1 BYU only needs KSU to lose one more to get in for sure. But if KSU wins out

I would argue our chances are better of winning the CCG than being picked as an

And if Colorado wins out and ISU and KSU are 11-1 we can lose to Houston

Issues with your 11-1 isu/ksu and colorado 9-3 as well, we are in if we lose

BYUFootballisBack

Except that opens the door for 1 WEAK division and 1 STRONG one

Greg4BYU

So? Better than going undefeated and maybe missing your CCG (SMU this year)

RGGeemer

2:45pm

In that strong division, the two best teams will play each other and the winner

RGGeemer

2:46pm

It's not a concern to me in the new 12 team playoff. I could see it with 4. Not
