Yes they have. The P5 conferences are sealing off the money vault.

The G5 autobid is all they intend to "share".

And they only had that in place to get the G5 conferences to sign off on this albatross and avoid a mass lawsuit.

I gotta believe we'd get the G5 autobid if we're ranked higher than

Jersey hunter

We have no autobid whatsover. We could be 3rd in the country and UCF could

LiveCoug

8/23/14 11:53am

We go undefeated and we are in. Nothing has changed for us.

Bluedomination

8/23/14 11:56am

We go undefeated and we are possibly in. Nothing has changed for us.

LiveCoug

8/23/14 11:58am

No way they keep an undefeated team out. No way.

Bluedomination

8/23/14 12:53pm

You sure about that? We may very well make it, but we have NO GUARANTEE at all

LiveCoug

8/23/14 12:58pm

The highest ranked teams are guaranteed

Coog4Life

8/23/14 2:10pm

BYU's only guarantee is if they are ranked 1 or 2. That's it.

LiveCoug

8/23/14 2:11pm

3,4 also guaranteed....sorry

Coog4Life

8/23/14 2:19pm

Well, sure if the committee says that BYU is 1,2,3 or 4.

LiveCoug

8/23/14 2:27pm

In 2014, committee #5 would also guarantee a spot

Coog4Life

8/23/14 2:47pm

^^^ truth ^^^

nashty

8/23/14 6:24pm

I believe that was the BCS criteria.

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 2:58pm

Do you think this is the days of the BCS 1 vs 2 only?

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:30pm

you really think the committee will rank a 12-0 byu team lower than 10?

nashty

8/23/14 3:35pm

I absolutely do. Once again, CB needs to divorce the concept of ranking

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 4:27pm

And record is the third major criteria

scott715

8/23/14 7:12pm

Yet they claimed they don't intend to use any analytics like the BCS

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:34pm

SOS isn't going to be calculated

Samurai Jack

8/24/14 9:05am

Then why all the fear of "perceived" do you even know what the 13 people

BYUFam1

8/24/14 10:44am

11 of the 13 members of the committee

Samurai Jack

8/24/14 4:30pm

Yes you are at a loss, loss of enjoyment of the game, loss of fanhood...

BYUFam1

8/24/14 5:08pm

Both times Utah went undefeated they were ranked outside of top 4 prior to bowl.

DoseOfReality

8/23/14 1:53pm

Very true, and... that was then, this is now.

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 5:54pm

The committee vote itself is a poll

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:36pm

Agreed. We go to a New Year's Day bowl, but no G5 teams in playoff

Coogar2

8/23/14 6:45pm

That's just for playoffs - what about New Years Bowl games?

Jersey hunter

8/23/14 11:59am

No guarantees whatsoever. BYU and Army have worst access to the NY6 bowls.

rainorsnow

8/23/14 12:23pm

So the rule makers have gone out of their way to intentionally

Jersey hunter

8/23/14 11:57am

no, he is wrong

Coog4Life

8/23/14 12:45pm

Link to that guarantee? You are wrong. We MAY be in, sure, but there is

LiveCoug

8/23/14 12:48pm

TNT hates to agree with the mods but there it is

TNT

8/23/14 1:21pm

Read the cf playoff website

Coog4Life

8/23/14 2:08pm

Here are some links

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:38pm

Yes they have. The P5 conferences are sealing off the money vault.

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 1:26pm

You do realize that going forward all conferences get more money even Go5

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:39pm

this is incorrect

Coog4Life

8/23/14 12:45pm

Sorry. You are incorrect. LiveCoug is spot on.

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 1:30pm

The top ranked teams are automatically in

Coog4Life

8/23/14 2:09pm

The discussion is about the G5 autobid

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 2:20pm

But based on the original LiveCoug post if we are 3rd in the committees poll

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:42pm

smh. Yes we do. If committee ranks us #3 we are in CFP

nashty

8/23/14 3:34pm

Almost surely. Sure. We do NOT have any guarantees.

LiveCoug

8/23/14 3:47pm

The only reason I can't state it in absolute terms is because it depends upon

nashty

8/23/14 4:02pm

BYU won't be ranked that high by the committee.

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 4:37pm

Who with a committee ranking of #3 does not have a guarantee?

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:46pm

If we are 3rd in the selection committee poll we are in the playoffs

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:29pm

Maybe you could use this post...

BYUFam1

8/23/14 7:32pm

There are no auto bids to the playoffs

PolarisPrime

8/23/14 8:03pm

And that's what I am referring to. OP was asking about G5 autobid.

LiveCoug

8/23/14 8:06pm

Thats a good point, but I don't think that is what he meant to ask.

PolarisPrime

8/23/14 8:14pm

It is true we have no claim to the Go5 auto bid - it is not true that a #5

BYUFam1

8/24/14 12:07am

A #5 in every year would get in

BYUFam1

8/24/14 12:05am

We have to hope Texas, Cal, UVA and UCF win out

jrifkin48

8/23/14 12:26pm

BYU is not eligible for a playoff bid.

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 1:43pm

If we were to go undefeated beating three P5 champions then we wold be good

jrifkin48

8/23/14 2:23pm

IF we were to beat 3 or 4 conference champions on our way to an undefeated

Samurai Jack

8/23/14 2:28pm

It all depends on how the other teams do.

PolarisPrime

8/23/14 8:06pm

Every team is eligible for a playoff bid. The question is "Would the selection

This is only an absolute in the mind of someone with a complex
