I agree with this…but I wonder if getting to that magic formula is possible…

I mean…that’s likely what the AD has been trying to achieve for the last 10+ years but hasn’t dialed it in…makes me wonder if the theory is a pipe dream and in practice another path is more likely.

This is one thing that is appealing about the Big 12

CaliWG

There isn't going to be a 12 team playoff now...

Coug

Fans are gonna riot after getting teased with a 12 team playoff and it

Kajdin

8/2/21 5:51pm

Fans only leverage is if playoff games have decreased ratings

TNT

8/2/21 6:14pm

Which they have pretty much year after year

Kajdin

8/2/21 6:39pm

I'd be willing to boycott playoffs if it stays at 4 or moves to 8 instead...

I tend to agree.

There will be a recommendation for more than a 4 team playoff.

Eddie

disagree, I think there will still be a 12 team playoff

I think it still makes sense for college football.

8/2/21 9:28pm

Theb12 team playoff was the first part of their plan, with so many open slots

Pretorian

8/3/21 4:29am

Being in the MWC is the highest chance to make playoffs every year

IndepYndent

8/2/21 5:53pm

Not even close, the AAC will always rank higher, and the SOC in the MW

Pretorian

8/3/21 4:35am

We are talking 12 Team playoff, right?

IndepYndent

8/3/21 8:26am

Yep, 6 conference champs of which the MW will unlikely ever be…

Pretorian

8/3/21 9:52am

I disagree

IndepYndent

8/3/21 9:55am

I already Caveated BSU, no other MW team, including BYU, if we were in there

Pretorian

Indy automatically knocks yourself out of the playoff race

CougarCanuck76

8/2/21 5:56pm

Top 6 at large bids would exist

IndepYndent

8/2/21 6:03pm

don't expect the recommendation to even get a second look now. They will start

Nat Gas Man

nah it's good

IndepYndent

8/2/21 6:14pm

If CFP expanded. That may longer be the case.

Did you already forget about Iowa State getting picked over BYU last year? BYU

johnnybyu

8/2/21 6:44pm

I take it you haven't looked the last 10 year would be nominees

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:02pm

3 or 4 of those going to the SEC...

Coug

8/2/21 6:44pm

as it should be

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:26pm

Lots of moving parts right now…..

Bluedomination

8/2/21 5:58pm

BYU doesn't own a piece of the CFP and won't. They only way to get a big piece

Nat Gas Man

8/2/21 6:02pm

Solid take, and...

LEDSFW

8/2/21 6:32pm

And an Independence BYU is the hardest position. There is not guaranteed access

johnnybyu

8/2/21 6:43pm

Many CBers are like good corners. They have short memories

TNT

8/2/21 7:11pm

Most CBers haven't ever seen a good corner, particularly the younger ones...

moknowssports

8/2/21 7:27pm

Incorrect

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:18pm

I listened as well. I got the sense he was suggesting the easiest path was G5…

Roosty

8/2/21 7:20pm

It's true. With the MWC being wayy easier than AAC

IndepYndent

8/2/21 7:28pm

Time to start playing in Laramie again!!!

This idea has been floated for a while...I posted something similar

Regardless...the future of elite football is Independence

Punk Philosopher

I’d be interested to know why you think this?

Roosty

8/2/21 8:07pm

I read an article a few years ago that broke down the data

I think it’s about scheduling smart. I’m not worried about scheduling

In principle, this is right. But in practice, how could a person ever know who

Roosty

8/3/21 7:44am

I think it's possible to do schedule analytics based on historical performance

Punk Philosopher

Also, if I'm the AD, the first item of business is instilling a culture of

Punk Philosopher

You don’t think that’s already his top priority?

Roosty

No, I don't.

Punk Philosopher

I can follow your logic, but we beat both SC and Wisky….

Pretorian

8/3/21 7:45am

We have beat them before, this is true.

Punk Philosopher

I get it, I’m with ya

Pretorian

Any AD will choose yearly conference money over easier CFP access.

mudpupper

8/2/21 7:44pm

Even if a 12 team playoff happens most of the at large will go to the sec now
