conferences. So potentially 3 loss teams get a bid over 1loss teams from all other conferences. The only guarantee for ACC and B12 is to win the conference championship game. BYU could be left out if we lose only the conference championship game. BYU would have to be at least top 12 or even top 11 if highest G champ is lower than 12, in the playoff ranking or they are out. Those two conferences are trying to claim 9 of the bids and the committee is helping them out.
