Not just other P5s, by the way-- any team that might qualify for an at large.
But the point stands. The ranking BYU has to achieve to get an at-large is higher for every auto-qualifier that is not already in the top 12.

Cincinnati is ranked 8th in the polls and 60th in Sagarin with SOS at 86th

They're ranked 8th because they were ranked preseason and haven't lost yet.

Aye. Cincy started at #13, when there were no B1G or PAC teams in the rankings

I sincerely hope the top G5 is in the top 12, so they don't take up an at-large

BYU and the AAC are fighting for completely different NY6 slots. They have NO

Exactly this. Highest ranked G5 gets a NY6 regardless of their rank or BYU rank.

Highest ranked G5 conference Champion gets bid.

Take that same scenario, only BYU is #12 in both of them.

Haha you aren't understanding the obvious point here

Swing and a miss. In the latter scenario BYU moves up.

You are trying to change more variables than just the G5 team.

And if the top G5 is below #12, BYU has to be ranked higher to get that spot.

First of all, between now and playoff selection there will be a lot of variables
here's to hoping
10/19/20 4:38pm
But, it doesn't effect BYU's NY6 prospects at all.

Your two examples there are NOT the same scenario
StantonMac

Right. In one scenario, Cinci is above 12; in the other, they are below.

But why would there be 11 teams ahead of BYU in both your scenarios?

I would not, assume SMU will jump BYU. and I wouldn't feet about it. BYU needs to just keep winning

BYU will get what it deserves this year. I have zero worry about that.

The polls primarily measure winning streaks, and preseason expectations.

the composite computer rankings has Cincy at #13, so it is sagarin who is the

We need to be really careful talking about other teams SOS.

Definitely want Cincinnati to win. SMU has a much easier schedule going forward

They still play 5 solid teams. It'll work itself out.

That's why we try to schedule a game w a G5 top dog w a single loss

SMU is not going to beat Cincinnati.
