I know with 100% certainty that they CAN NOT pick BYU in your scenario

http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=12810785
This is not the BCS days of bowl executives in plaid jackets picking a team with a large fan base that travels, rents rooms, buy beer, etc over a team with a better ranking.

Now days the CFP committee assigns teams to those games based on "contracts" and then highest available ranked team. PERIOD.

POLL: I understand that BYU has no guaranteed NY6 access while the AAC/G5 does?

this feels like a question at the DMV

Disclaimer:

It's the highest ranked G5 CHAMPION

This is true, and part of the reason why BYU does not qualify.

You should follow it up with this poll:

11/30/15 11:20am

Uh, ok. Completely disagree.

yfootball

11/30/15 11:22am

You really think BYU going undefeated in the AAC or MWC is more likely to get them a top 4 ranking

byujacob

11/30/15 11:24am

BYU undefeated gets in under any scenario

pink22

11/30/15 11:26am

So you think undefeated Memphis would get in this year?

TaiJuan

BYU reputation >>>> Memphis reputation

pink22

11/30/15 11:30am

that's crazy

I'm as down on BYU currently as anyone. But all things being equal, BYU football

pink22

11/30/15 11:33am

I think part of that is because BYU is independent, which would change as a member of the AAC.

TaiJuan

11/30/15 11:34am

My assumption is we still play a decent team or two non conference

pink22

11/30/15 11:40am

2001 would have to disagree

buhler08

11/30/15 11:35am

2001 was a different animal

pink22

11/30/15 11:41am

You're right.. it was 10 teams instead of 4..

buhler08

11/30/15 11:44am

You act like an Ny6 is now meaningless. This is your opinion and that is fine,

yfootball

11/30/15 11:29am

You made two claims in your post

buhler08

11/30/15 11:29am

Fair points. Sure, I'd rather be in a NY6 bowl than the Vegas or Hawaii bowl, but I strongly believe

byujacob

11/30/15 11:35am

And while they might miss out on the G5 guarantee, a solid top ten season would put them in play for at-large bErth.

TaiJuan

11/30/15 11:38am

I'll agree with that, for the most part

buhler08

11/30/15 11:42am

With this addendum:

Byron McNertney

11/30/15 11:26am

Your options could certainly be better worded...

BYUFam1

11/30/15 11:27am

True. and already mentioned above.

yfootball

Has BYU ever been "left out" or "looked over"?

CosmoK

11/30/15 11:28am

BYU HAS to be top 12 minimum (most years higher) to get an at-large

BYUFam1

11/30/15 11:32am

Is that the "math" or the "rule"?

CosmoK

11/30/15 11:45am

I know with 100% certainty that they CAN NOT pick BYU in your scenario

BYUFam1

11/30/15 11:49am

Could, but don't have to, and most likely wouldn't

buhler08

11/30/15 11:50am

If BYU is never the highest ranked non-P5, then this discussion is pointless
