Am I missing something here?

I’ve seen enough people make comments like Oregon or Cincinnati need to be ranked top 12 or it hurts BYU but it makes no sense. Is this a confusing point?

We don't care where the p12 champ is ranked. They get a NY6 game regardless.

It is to some people. BYU isn't competing with the P12 champ or Cincy to get a

If the pac 12 champ is outside the top 12 that means we would have to be ranked

and if the p12 champion is inside the top 12 it pushes BYU down 1 spot...

cougaman

11/27/20 8:46pm

Not necessarily.

Every team outside the top 12 displaces a team in the top 12. So a 16th ranked

So having 1 team to push BYU down another spot helps how?

cougaman

11/27/20 8:47pm

There are only 12 spots... ideally it’s the 12 highest CFP ranks.

LOL. Say BYU is 10, why would it matter if the p12 champ is 11 or 22? It's not

cougaman

11/27/20 10:04pm

And in your scenario if BYU is ranked 12 what happens? P12 champ is #22.

Did you eat paint chips as a kid or are you trolling?

cougaman

11/27/20 10:13pm

It does matter. Every team not in the top12 replaces one from the top 12.

How is this so hard to understand?!?! If a p12 team gets into the top 12, that

You are comparing apples and oranges...

I'm not ignoring that at all. BYU needs to pass 3 teams in the rankings. Those

Yeah we’re cheering against Miami, Georgia, Northwestern, and Indiana hard

11/28/20 10:08am

Miami gets an auto bid if ND and Clemson both make the playoff. We need someone

cougaman

11/28/20 10:30am

I thought the autobid was for all the NY6?

puntersarepeople

11/28/20 11:41am

Conferences get auto bids for certain bowls. ACC has an auto bid for a non

11/28/20 11:53am

That’s right

puntersarepeople

11/28/20 12:07pm

They are if they beat ND in the CCG. Thats why we want ND to win.

cougaman

11/28/20 12:54pm

Some of us care. If the conference takes the proverbial dump, those of us

DJROSS

11/27/20 6:05pm

As far as NY6 and getting BYU into a NY6 game, we don't care. I'm with you on

cougaman

11/27/20 6:27pm

But we’re more likely to play Oregon than anyone else soooooo

puntersarepeople

11/27/20 6:33pm

How are we more likely to play Oregon?

cougaman

11/27/20 6:38pm

Than any other team of similar rank (besides USC maybe)

puntersarepeople

11/27/20 6:40pm

So you want Oregon to win on the off chance that Cal can't play next week and

cougaman

11/27/20 6:45pm

Fair. I enjoyed watching 💰 lose

puntersarepeople

11/27/20 9:34pm

Georgia is much better now that JT Daniels is playing QB

11/27/20 5:36pm

I really hope my list doesn’t go all opposite on me.
