If Boise is ranked 9th, Army 15th, and BYU 16th...we (and B12) are odd man out.

that very well could happen if Boise and Army win out and we lose 2/3 next games and win our conf championship game. Is it likely? No. But it's not implausible.

The 5 highest ranked conf champions don't have to be in the top 12.

So let me get this straight. Prior to the Big 12, BYU had to be perfect to make

Just win.

BYU can lose one and maybe 2 games and still get in with a CCG win.

Uno Doctoro

Boise & Army (if they beat ND) could edge us out in that scenario.

zerome4sooners

Nov 14, 5:10am

not if you win the CCG. No G5 will ever get an at large bid...

kaladin58

Nov 14, 5:57am

Not talking about G5 getting at large. Boise and army would be top 5 conf champs

zerome4sooners

Nov 14, 6:09am

G5 only gets one auto. they would have to be ranked in the top 12...

zerome4sooners

Nov 14, 7:16am

I stand corrected. no auto bids. I guess army could sneak in but not likely

kaladin58

Nov 14, 7:18am

right. if they beat ND, then convo is interesting. see last para of ESPN article

zerome4sooners

Nov 14, 7:47am

BYU would need 2 losses to fall below Army. 11-2 BYU still decent chance of CFP

"Could" but do you really see the 24th ranked team jumping 12+ spots by beating

You don't have to be perfect if you win the Championship Game.

Top 4 highest ranked conference champions. If for example Boise is ranked higher than the Big12 champ guess what???

Any conference? MWC over a Big 12 conference champ gets the bye…

Top 5. Not top 4

Eddie

Top 5 get in, the top 4 get a bye.

JohnnyComeLately

13-0 bye. 12-1 in with potential bye. 11-2 in with CCG win.

Not at 10-3 or 9-4. ESPN Playoff Predictor has AAC champ as 5th highest conferen

Coug-Ida

Nov 14, 2:04am

I'm not sure that's right. I think there's still AQ status for P4 teams.

WVU_Prof

Nov 14, 4:58am

Nope. Wording is top 5 highest ranked.

cougarfan84

Nov 14, 5:46am

Incorrect. Nothing protects P4. 5 highest Conf champs get in, 4 highest get byes

Coug-Ida

Nov 14, 10:25am

Not this year. But could happen in other years if the loss is early OOC

insanobueno

Nov 14, 7:47am

I agree not this year, I responded to you saying at 9-4 BYU would get in if CC.

Coug-Ida

Nov 14, 10:35am

It is literally impossible for BYU to be 9-4 and conference champion.

NYC and Japan

Nov 14, 8:42am

This year yes...but I think the 9-4 discussion is hypothetical.

WVU_Prof

Nov 14, 9:02am

Impossible this year. Very unlikely but could happen other years

insanobueno

Nov 14, 9:05am

Literally not even a 1 in a million chance to be a 4 loss champion AND in CFP

NYC and Japan

Nov 14, 9:36am

Not to repeat myself, but w/ 2 losses we’ll need Boise or Army to lose 1 more

zerome4sooners

Nov 14, 5:13am

It isn’t about straight up wins and losses.

Eddie

Nov 13, 11:11pm

No they couldn’t. A 5 loss Big 12 champ isn’t getting an auto bid. The MWC and AAC champs would get in over us

RealTaysomHill

Nov 13, 11:19pm

Depends on what they are ranked.

Eddie

Nov 13, 11:32pm

VERY doubtful a 5 loss B12 champ gets in over AAC champ. Possible but unlikely.

Coug-Ida

Nov 14, 2:11am

No shot, and we shouldn’t. There are essentially 9 conferences after this year. A 5 loss conference champ is not

RealTaysomHill

Nov 14, 7:09am

a 5 loss conference champion is highly unlikely and will never be in CFP, unless

Nov 14, 8:44am

Indy BYU probably wouldn't have made it in even without a loss under the 4 team format.

ManicBlue

Nov 13, 11:12pm

Not even an undefeated FSU made it in last year. Indy BYU would have to have

Just need to win CCG. Don’t have to be perfect. Just can’t lose CCG.

A 12-1 byu team is in. 2 losses and definitely not

cougarfann888

It's not a sham. We are still happy w our opportunity.

VenomFarmer

Nov 13, 11:38pm

We can lose 2 of the next 3, if we get in the CCG and win, we're in.

rtNelson

Nov 13, 11:49pm

12-1 BYU would absolutely get in. That would mean we got to 12-0 and were ranked

andrewg3

Nov 14, 12:09am

That’s his point. It’s a potential no. 12-1 could lose out to a 3 loss SEC team.

ImuaKahuku

Nov 14, 5:43am

12-1 will not lose out to a 3-loss SEC team. No chance of that. I don't think

cougarfan84

Nov 14, 5:48am

Never underestimate the dark side (SEC).

gopman

Nov 14, 6:45am

Look at the CFP rankings, only 1 SEC in top 6, 2 in top 9. You're not paying

NYC and Japan

Nov 14, 8:48am

I actually agree with you. SEC hacks in the media are starting to develop

gopman

Nov 14, 9:32am

Not sure the disconnect but SEC/B1G are all about only one team from all other

ImuaKahuku

Nov 14, 5:51am

0 chance B1G has more than 4 teams in CFP. SEC highly unlikely to have 5 or more

NYC and Japan

Not true

It went from P5 to P2 with one round of conference realignment.

One more reason 12 teams is still crap. Go to 24-28 like ALL the other divisions

WSU and Oregon State did more damage to us by partnering with the MWC. Boise' looks better with a now ranked WSU win.

BYU could be 11-2 and make the CFP
