There were people who were convinced we’d be ranked #13 in the first CFP ranking

this year because of bias. They were way off.

I like Drake Toll, but I don't like what he seems to suggest: that it is best for the conference if BYU is undefeated

He is not wrong. Not sure what you don't agree with.

He is wrong. Big 12 isn’t getting two teams.

BYU '80

Nov 11, 12:41pm

This is correct.

You are wrong, 12-1 BYU who loses in the CCG will be in.

kimdaddy35

Nov 11, 12:42pm

They’re not going to pick a 2-loss team who didn’t even make their CCG over BYU

Odysseus

Nov 11, 12:43pm

Then you’re not paying attention.

tkh9

Hope I am wrong but I think this is correct

You’re overly paranoid. ACC and Big XII aren’t viewed as the same as SEC, sure.

Odysseus

Nov 11, 12:49pm

Then make sense of the rankings.

One loss hurts you more when (1) you’ve played 8 games instead of 12 and (2) it

Odysseus

We agree on this point, but the problem is that they’re choosing subjectively

You are talking about committee rankings for this week like they have already happened.

kimdaddy35

Nov 11, 1:15pm

I don’t think two teams get in due to bias. We already see it

BYU '80

Nov 11, 12:39pm

Yep. I was under the impression the committee already implied B12 gets one bid.

It is best for the Big XII, but not for BYU

Nov 11, 12:40pm

I don't need to listen to his pod, but I doubt he's suggesting that BYU should

Tricky

He didn't suggest BYU lose on purpose but seemed to indicate who he would be cheering for if it went between BYU and CO.

Knight-who-says-ni

Nov 11, 12:43pm

Not a big deal to me. Even though he's been a BYU stan for more clicks, I don't

Tricky

Unless we get a home playoff game, then I’ll allow it

Odysseus

Nov 11, 12:44pm

I don't think 2 big 12 teams make the playoff in any scenario

acougfan

Disagree - if BYU is #5 or 6 and undefeated going into the CCG, they will get in

Nov 11, 12:41pm

Look at the bias against byu already. Ain’t happening. They will choose a three

BYU '80

Nov 11, 12:42pm

It could happen, but it would be unprecedented

Nov 11, 12:43pm

How many 2 loss teams was BYU ranked behind?

kimdaddy35

Nov 11, 12:44pm

There were people who were convinced we’d be ranked #13 in the first CFP ranking

Odysseus

Nov 11, 12:46pm

If BYU is 12-1 they are in. The committee will give them a really tough game, but they will be in.

kimdaddy35

Nov 11, 12:41pm

Yep. Win win win. No losses. Period.

What's best for the conference is for BYU to run the table.

BlueFever

Nov 11, 12:41pm

Things that are best for a conference often aren't best for an individual team

BackPacker

Nov 11, 12:41pm

For the sake of the B12, he’s not wrong. Only way they get 2 teams in.

Boring

Nov 11, 12:42pm

One team left.

Archaea

Nov 11, 12:43pm

Media loves Colorado. So if we lose to them in CCG, I think we both get in

4thand19

Nov 11, 12:45pm

He's not wrong that it's the only possibility of getting 2 teams in. I'm not
