I know. I was doing a hypothetical with what's currently available

nephicoug

10/19/20 9:57pm

K just making sure

puntersarepeople

10/19/20 9:58pm

I think BYU needs to get to #8 and stay there.

That means IMO we'd have to jump the:

Auto bids for conferences only apply when it is a conf specific Bowl like Rose

Magathisll

10/19/20 10:01pm

The Rose and Sugar are being used for the semifinals so their auto bids are

nephicoug

10/19/20 10:02pm

Wrong. They are not "displaced" from those games if they are playing in them in

jreid191

10/19/20 10:16pm

Those bids don't get displaced. The conferences are only contracted to specific

SUAVO

10/19/20 10:24pm

A “displaced P5 champion” still gets an autobid

Doogal McCougar

10/19/20 10:06pm

A few issues. Alabama would still count as the SEC auto-bid since they are in

jreid191

10/19/20 10:07pm

Right. It's late. Orange not Peach. But, playoff teams aren't counted as auto

nephicoug

10/19/20 10:10pm

Wrong. If Sugar is playoff bowl and SEC team is in playoff them that team is the

jreid191

10/19/20 10:20pm

The only SEC autobid is in the Sugar.

A lot can go wrong between now and then, but if it could play out like that...

Trent

10/19/20 11:35pm

I'll take that

teancum

10/20/20 10:11am

Do we really think the PAC is goin to get auto bids with a 6 game schedule?

TheLoneCougar

10/20/20 7:09am

I dont think most teams will play 6 games

OC Coug

10/20/20 9:08am

The PAC has a contract spot in the Rose Bowl. This year, because the Rose Bowl

Doogal McCougar

10/20/20 9:52am

Does that work if they only have 4-5 games played?

TheLoneCougar

10/20/20 10:05am

Of course. That's why they're playing now instead of Spring.

Doogal McCougar

10/20/20 10:12am

Are we sure they are displaced? Seems people are "sure" that both ways work

SUAVO

10/20/20 4:43pm

Just quoting the source. From the CFP website:

Notre Dame is not making the playoffs.

Watch Coastal Carolina and UNC. UNC is behind BYU following its 1st loss. If UNC

Serious question

Z-Ute

Undefeated and crushing opponents - absolutely

OC Coug

10/20/20 11:50am

"Should be"

Z-Ute

10/20/20 11:59am

BYU hype always disappears because they lose. If they don't lose it won't stop

mcnasty

10/20/20 12:23pm

We'll see

teancum

10/20/20 2:19pm

In a regular year the B1G and PAC play a lot more games

puntersarepeople

10/20/20 11:54am

Again, does the committee though

Z-Ute

10/20/20 12:02pm

Impossible to be certain

puntersarepeople

10/20/20 12:34pm

No question BYU is a bigger draw...

Z-Ute

10/20/20 12:58pm

For sure.

puntersarepeople

10/20/20 1:04pm

good question

teancum

10/20/20 11:58am

"I'm not bashing BYU"

Westsider

10/20/20 12:13pm

Not going to fall for that one...?
