would be 9-1 with a chance to go to the CFP? I would have laughed. Now it is a real possibility.

Oh, and that Yewts would be 2nd worst in conf with a 6 game losing streak.

BYU Playoff Possibilities (per ESPN) in various scenarios

Only 88-89% chance of playoff at 11-2 conference champ? Seems like 99% to me.

In almost certainly related news, FPI gives Army a 12% chance against Notre Dame

krindorr

2:10pm

I still think we would be in the top 12 at 11-2. No?

RGGeemer

88-89% chance of being in the top 12

So 88% chance in the top 12 and 88% chance that Army loses to ND. So 99% we are

RGGeemer

What can I say, these are ESPN numbers and percentages... Can't tell you exactly why they ended up at 89%

krindorr

It would come down to us versus a bunch of 10-2 SEC teams and 10-2 Notre Dame

krindorr

I think those 11-12% odds come down to Army being an undefeated conference champ

nephicoug

Wouldn't we still be in the top 12 at 11-2 with 2 big Ws to end the year?

RGGeemer

Assuming our second loss would be to ASU, it would only be 1 big W

nephicoug

2:11pm

Our odds are only 1% lower when our loss is to ASU (88%) vs Houston (89%).

RGGeemer

2:13pm

Because we'd have a better win (vs ASU) in the Houston loss scenario

nephicoug

2:14pm

I know. But only 1% difference. Only 89% chance in the ASU W scenario seems

RGGeemer

2:18pm

One of those big wins being Houston? And yeah, I do think we'd get it, but this is ESPN numbers, not mine

krindorr

2:12pm

No, ASU and CU

RGGeemer

2:14pm

FWIW, ESPN gives Army a 89% chance if they finish 13-0, but also give Tulane a 29% shot if they win out

krindorr

2:25pm

They give us about a 45 % chance of winning then Saturday
