Having a home game in playoff will not be as good as you think…

All of the students will be gone (finals end that Wednesday) and it will be cold - the home field won’t have the same benefit to the team as a night game in September.

BYU, you are our only hope.

I think if Iowa State wins out to the championship game and loses to BYU, they

I think this is highly unlikely. I don’t think any 2-loss Big 12 team is going

Not sure. But they would be 11-1 going into the CCG. An 11-2 team that only has

It’ll force the committee to show their cards. Do they put 10-2 Clemson who

Clemson will end up 8-4 or 9-3

I don’t think Clemson gets an at-large bid with 2 losses. Their only chance now

If their loss had been to K-State or Colorado, then I would agree. But ISU lost

There is still a lot of football left.

Tuesday will bring a lot of clarity. Is Iowa state in the 15-18 range? Or 20-25?

Historic CFP rankings show 11 win teams basically always in CFP and most 2 loss

NYC and Japan

Nov 3, 8:30am

I think there's also going to be more 11 win and 1-2 lots teams than ever before

Kajdin

Nov 3, 9:09am

But that's 11 win P5 teams. And there's a different environment now

Nov 3, 9:20am

Don't buy into the P2 narrative. Big10 and SEC look just as bad/good as the Big

RGGeemer

Nov 3, 10:25am

And yet the B1G has 4 teams higher than any Big 12 team

krindorr

Nov 3, 12:41pm

Overrated. Sagarin has SEC #1, Big12 #2, Big10 #3, ACC #4

RGGeemer

Nov 3, 1:23pm

Sagarin also has BYU #3 in th Big 12

krindorr

Nov 3, 2:07pm

And I'm saying we shouldn't be buying into or furthering that false narrative

RGGeemer

Nov 3, 3:24pm

Fair, I'm trying to estimate what the committee will do, not what I think they should do

krindorr

Nov 3, 4:06pm

I've looked at this before. 11 win P5 teams would've generally always made it.

It would be epic

You have never been wronger

The student section would still be maxed out

Would they still sell student section seats?

I’m not sure how it works, but whether they sell them or student roc passes get

To be fair, we haven't had a consistent team in a long time

This is exactly it. Until we consistently put really good seasons together, then

Maybe 5 programs that have been consistently good for any length of time.

I get your point but you are confusing Vegas odds makers with pollsters

Why do people keep saying this?

bythenumbers

Nov 3, 9:51am

Even ignoring BYU, why would you expect this?

cosmette

Nov 3, 10:10am

The CFP has been pretty reasonable in the past

bythenumbers

Nov 3, 10:24am

It gets more political with 12. WAY more money to conferences.

cosmette

Nov 3, 10:35am

How about look and see who is actually on the committee before making broad statements like this

DJROSS

Nov 3, 10:32am

I didn’t read any of that. Sorry

I think there will likely be 3 bids in total for the Big 12 and ACC this year,

we'll find out on Tuesday how the committee views BYU. Top 5-8 good. below bad.

if BYU starts out in the 5-8 range they will weather one loss in CCG.
