Divisions are bad. No serious conf. still has divisions. All tried. All stopped.

No reason to benefit a team lucky to be in a bad division and punish a team in a tough division. Not hard to imagine Big12 divisions with ASU, Buffs, BYU and ISU all in the same division. At a minimum the 1st 3 would be in the same division. The other division has it much easier in both schedule and path to CCG.

And I would have preferred to play Cincinnati, far less talent.

If BYU had shown up against Kansas... we were in

BYU showed up better than Iowa St did and ISU still got in

BYU also showed up better than Iowa State did vs ASU

This is the level of self deprecation that is funny to me

How would divisions have helped in our case?

BYU, ASU, and Colorado would have all played head to head.

And so one of them would have gotten left out to the benefit of one of the

Point is that there would be some actual head to head data to use.

Yeah, watching Kansas State vs. Iowa State was hard knowing we were the better

That dumb tiebreaker gave the big 12 a terrible CCG

Ouch

And after seeing Iowa State get destroyed, everyone has said that BYU should have been in

This is disappointing, any indication that the BIG12 will modify the tiebreaker?

The problem aren’t the tiebreakers, the problems are oversized conferences and no divisions.

Indy Coug

Agreed. We don't like the tiebreaker...but honestly it makes sense

The secondary tie breaker didn’t even take into account ASU’s record

BYU was a few breaks from going undefeated and a few breaks

I still think conference SoS is a very frustrating way to determine tiebreakers.

The solution is to win all your games.

DudeBro

Nobody did that.

And since nobody did that, and there weren't enough decisive head-to-head

That sucks. Also, why is your x profile pic a tiger?
