committee choose an undefeated non-$5 team?" Answer: Possible, but highly unlikely unless they were ranked 1 or 2 in the key polls, imo.

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

^^^ truth ^^^

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
