...and the weak division winner possibly knocking one of the strong division teams out of a playoff berth if they win the CCG. Probably the 2nd place in the STRONG division would lose an at-large bid in that scenario

If KS loses 1 OR if ISU and CO both lose 1 b4 Farmageddon then we're in @ 11-1

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

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

This is why I'm rooting for KState against the Coogs.

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

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

Nov 1, 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

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

Yep. It starts over.

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

Nov 1, 2:33pm

We need divisions.

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

Nov 1, 2:38pm

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

RGGeemer

Nov 1, 2:45pm

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

RGGeemer

Nov 1, 2:46pm

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

RGGeemer

Nov 1, 2:47pm

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

zuko

Looks more like what I expected.

RGGeemer

Nov 1, 3:33pm

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

I hope so!!

If we lose 0 or 1 games we are in incredible shape

We really needed UCF to beat ISU and KU to beat K State. Oh well.
