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

You're changing two variables, which is what Stache is trying to get you to see. If Cincinnati is not ahead of BYU, then only 10 teams will be ahead of BYU. In other words, Cincinnati moving down will not cause another team to jump BYU.

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

You get how this works, right?

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

ZacSeljaas'Stache

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.

10/19/20 3:01pm

Haha you aren't understanding the obvious point here

ZacSeljaas'Stache

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

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

ZacSeljaas'Stache

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

Not just other P5s, by the way-- any team that might qualify for an at large.

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

10/19/20 3:24pm

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

... yes, that's 100% my point.

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.

All-American

The polls primarily measure winning streaks, and preseason expectations.

10/19/20 2:45pm

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.

Blueto

10/19/20 2:45pm

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

rcbyufan

10/19/20 2:46pm

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

SinkingQuffa

SMU is not going to beat Cincinnati.

Have to hope that Houston beats them
