Japan Coug Intervention Needed

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

and most years, unless there happen to be 2 truly outstanding teams in each conference. Before yesterday, it appeared that KSU or ISU could fit the bill for the Big 12 (along with BYU), and SMU or Clemson for the ACC (along with Miami). Now, only BYU, Miami, and SMU are realistic candidates for at-large berths between the two conferences.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Would they still sell student section seats?

Even ignoring BYU, why would you expect this?

The CFP has been pretty reasonable in the past

bythenumbers

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

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

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