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

at-large for the CFP. Could be wrong, but under that assumption, I'd rather guarantee a chance to get to the CCG and earn our way to a guaranteed CFP bid as opposed to not making the CCG and leaving it in the committee's hands. Because of that, I'm rooting for KSU to lose one more.

Detailed tiebreaker analysis between BYU, ISU, KSU, and Colorado

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

OK. I edited my post

I think you mean if BYU is 11-1, not 11-0. Great work.

Interesting, if KSU loses this week our odds shoot up, but our resume gets worse

You've got something wrong there. We are guaranteed a spot if our 1 loss is ASU

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

2:25pm

I agree. If our 1 loss is to ASU we are in. KSU wins the 3-way tiebreaker on

Also issues with the 10-2 isu 10-2 colorado 11-1 ksu one, we are in if our loss

Hmm, let me investigate this

The 3 way tiebreaker restarts once a team is picked, so once Kansas State gets

Interesting, I've been interpreting the tiebreaker procedures differently

zuko

This is what the Big12 doc says, doesn't seem like its ambiguous, but maybe it

Part of what makes me think we are guaranteed a spot with only 1 loss is the

We are in 100% at 11-1 IF the conference interpretation of the tiebreaker rules

RGGeemer

Gotta love rules that are written such that they need "interpretation"

Greg4BYU

2:33pm

We need divisions.

RGGeemer

2:34pm

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

Greg4BYU

2:38pm

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

RGGeemer

2:47pm

Alright, I fixed the tables to use the same tiebreaker rules as this website

zuko

Looks more like what I expected.

RGGeemer

3:33pm

I have decided that he is interpreting it wrong 🙂 1 loss and we are 100% in CCG
