If they expand to 8 before byu gets in a conference, our hope for P5 inclusion

would be dead. Right now a 4 team playoff is extremely good for byu if your goal is P5 inclusion. Moving to eight, as long as a the other conferences had a designated spot, or better yet, an independent byu had a solid way in as well, that wouldn't be all that bad.

There are probably just as many scenarios where BYU ends up OK as there are where we totally get locked out.

He didn't technically say anything about a conference championship game...

Correct. If TCU/Baylor both win out, Big 12 "championship" was already played.

Nikomedes

11/25/14 8:25pm

They will both be Big12 champ though

Would be interesting if Bama, Oregon, FSU, Miss St, tOSU, Baylor, and TCU each

rainorsnow

11/25/14 8:27pm

I'd prefer they all lose. Then we'd have like 17 2-loss teams to choose from

Nikomedes

11/25/14 8:29pm

And one undefeated non-cartel team (Marshall)

This seems worse for us.

At this point, not much of anything in the CFB world seems good for us.

That's a good thing!

I agree, once may be enough but if this happened twice... expantion for sure

Big 12 SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Choooooooo-chooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

So lame...

newey-west

11/25/14 9:36pm

This is why the "playoff" should be at least 8 teams

11/25/14 10:14pm

Why do we need manufactured drama? If teams are scheduling tough opponents,

newey-west

11/25/14 10:17pm

And because the conference blows. Yeah yeah 1-3. The conference still blows

TrueAndBlue

11/25/14 10:25pm

BYU would be about 12 million dollars poorer this year

11/25/14 10:27pm

Exactly

AntiSNOT

11/25/14 10:28pm

If it is for a birth in the playoffs then it is not manufactured.

11/25/14 10:26pm

I don't believe this at all.

newey-west

11/25/14 10:38pm

You just presented the problem with your argument.

11/26/14 12:42am

10 years worth of dominance by the SEC argues otherwise.

newey-west

11/26/14 7:21am

I dont have Marshal in the top 4

11/26/14 1:41pm

The SEC is all about perception? No way.

newey-west

11/26/14 1:49pm

So wrong. The SEC may be the best. Who cares

11/26/14 5:33pm

Disagree. You take the best 4 teams--regardless of conference affiliation.

newey-west

11/26/14 5:42pm

And how do you determine the best four teams?

11/26/14 6:43pm

You look at how they play against who they play.

newey-west

11/26/14 6:49pm

Which is what I am saying

11/26/14 7:13pm

Again, I don't see how your approach is any less arbitrary.

newey-west

11/26/14 7:34pm

Regional winner? You mean conference winner?

11/26/14 8:07pm

And what if two teams have no common opponents? Then we have to guess which

Nikomedes

11/26/14 7:15pm

In a perfect world, commonality would be awesome...but since we don't have that

newey-west

11/26/14 7:35pm

It is impossible to determine the strength of their resume.

11/26/14 8:21pm

You need to stop arguing with this guy. He doesn't get it...

TrueBlue67

11/26/14 7:55am

This is exactly right and stated far better than I was doing.

11/26/14 1:44pm

If they expand to 8 before byu gets in a conference, our hope for P5 inclusion

PoopTown LLC

11/26/14 7:00am

Probably true, but in that scenarion I dont care that much.

11/26/14 1:45pm

Why can't the B12 have a cc game with only 10 teams? Is there a 12 min rule?

8man

11/26/14 9:06am

12 team rule

TrueAndBlue

11/26/14 10:07am

i hope the SEC gets two teams. I want 2 of the P-5's to be left out.

COACHdrn

11/26/14 12:10pm

I will say it again, the Big 12 is concerned about being shut out due to no CC

Cougarpride

11/26/14 1:24pm

I agree your final four would be best for BYU
