There is a chance that BYU gets the 3 seed instead of 4. That matters.

Go undefeated, win the B12 championship game in convincing fashion, and maybe if there is enough chaos then you end up the third highest ranked champion and so get the 3 seed.

Don’t be fooled by all the talk about how the Big 12 can get two teams in the playoff with a loss by BYU

You really think this team can win the national championship?

That wasn’t really the point, but with each win they are closer to that reality

Most years there's a couple/few or at least 1 elite team. There is not one

I didn’t think they’d win 5 games. I will not underestimate them.

BYU is much more likely to get to the NC with a bye week. Bye week teams get extra time to prep for whomever they..

They don’t get an extra week to prep because they have no idea who they play

ordinary tri guy

They know who they play to an extent. If BYU gets a Bye they'll play one of two teams. It isn't unreasonable think..

Again don’t disagree but with the difference in teams that make it, not as easy

ordinary tri guy

yeah but they know it is one of two teams. that still helps

I’ve watched multiple games for every team

Yea, Oregon is really good. I don’t think we match up well to speed.

In a 12 game playoff, it would be 100% dependent on the matchups and I do think

Sorry. This has been an extremely fun ride. But that is crazy.

I think they have as good a chance as anyone at this point in the season.

BYU winning out is so much more relevant to me than the Big 12 getting two teams

Wrong. If we are talking about what's best for the conference and can pick any

Exactly, Buffs and BYU or BYU vs. ISU, KState or ASU in national championship

Problem is that’s unlikely to get 2 teams in w/o BYU losing.. drake is pushing

The premise is what's best for BIG12, not what's best for BYU. What's best is to

sah22

Nov 14, 8:39pm

Not true. There’s a massive difference in an undefeated nat champ and a 1 loss..

Lefty24

Nov 14, 9:17pm

You are thinking like a fan. Getting two teams in and them beating everyone else

sah22

Nov 15, 4:58am

The powers that be would LIKELY do that for a 3-loss CU before they'd do that for a 1-loss Top-15 BYU.

Let’s focus on KU please

The players need to focus on Kansas, not the fans.

The best team for the B12 is for the B12 to get 3 teams in and for them to win

NGB

Disagree. Respectfully, an undefeated BYU through the championship is best

BYU could get the 2 seed. Unlikely, but possible

It's a guarantee that BYU gets the 3 seed if 13-0

We're not going to drop if we win. Why would you think Miami/SMU would jump us?

I can see the committee putting a 1 loss Miami champ that dominates in their

Best scenario for the big 12 is for a one or two loss team to get into the CFP..

How fun is it that we're in a position to even entertain all these scenarios?

I think BYU should try and go undefeated

This feels like 2020. Pump the brakes and let’s beat KU first

This feels NOTHING like 2020. Everyone knew we beat nothing but creampuffs in 2020.

The issue in 2020 was everyone assumed BYU was going 11-0 not SOS

Bobmarleyjr

We still have our work cut out for us in every one of our final three conf games. Making the Title game is not a gimme.

It’s just like 2020

Bobmarleyjr

2020 was a JOKE. We beat actual competition this season. Teams EXPECTED to beat us.
