about what happens if BYU beats Kansas and other teams lose.

Regardless, I would like to understand how BYU would win the tiebreaker you mention. What is the reason?

For those smarter than me, who do we want to win each of these games?

Besides BYU over Kansas, the big one is K-State over ASU.

Do we want Utah to beat Colorado?

No, I want Colorado to pummel utah.

Ok agreed. I'll rephrase the question:

Probably worse for our CFP chances and doesn't help CCG chances much

If we win and Colorado loses it locks up our CCG bid

Does it?

In that scenario, the CCG would be KSU vs BYU or ASU vs BYU

I don’t think this is true, if ISU and ASU win out and BYU loses twice.

We win the tiebreakers unless Colorado loses *again*

RGGeemer

Nov 12, 8:24am

How so?

In a 4-way tie between BYU, ASU, ISU, and CU: ASU wins the 1st tiebreaker, BYU

Correct. Here is an explanation of the tiebreaker scenario:

I think it’s slightly better for BYU’s already-very-good CCG chances if Colorado

If Colorado loses 1, BYU is almost guaranteed the CCG with 1 more W

I believe that if BYU wins, ASU loses, and Colorado or ISU loses, then BYU

I would say no

We never want Utah to win ever. They are the worst and we never root for them.

K State is an 8.5 point favorite vs AZ State. FPI has AZ State as a

Baylor, Cinci, KState. With those wins we can lose two and still make the CCG.

Nov 12, 6:46am

Looking at this, I believe it's possible to clench our spot in the CCG this week

bythenumbers

Nov 12, 6:54am

Clench?

Or clinch

Go Utes?

RGGeemer

Nov 12, 7:04am

For the two game buffer or for avoiding Colorado?

The 435

Nov 12, 7:27am

Both

RGGeemer

Why would you want to avoid Colorado? They’re a good matchup for us.

Refs would be on their side 🙂
