Intervention Needed
That completely depends on who else is in the top 10. If Cincy, Oklahoma,
Oregon are all top 10 teams, then BYU gets in at #12. Simple as that, there are no other auto bids below 12, so top 12 teams get in.

I agree with Spencer Linton: "Tonight is not the night to worry where BYU lands on the CFP Rankings"

This is some nice hedging. But yes, tonight is the night to worry about it.

Which would be ridiculous. 2 losses and their conf lost 3 games to the sunbelt.

I disagree, The two teams the play are 5-3 and 1-5. If BYU plays no more games, then I might agree. Which is why I think

Spencer also thinks the worst that could happen is BYU falling to #10

They would be "falling" from 8 in the AP to 10th in the CFP

BYU needs to be at #9 in the final poll to be guaranteed a NY6 spot. No #9 team has ever been left out of a NY6.

The good news is this is an optimal year for at-large bids. I think we'd be in

The P12 and B12 being so bad takes away all that optimality.

I see what you are saying - we are looking at it differently.

Sure, but the ranking of the PAC12 and Big12 champs has ZERO effect on our NY6
