1. BYU finishes ahead of Oklahoma: 55% chance
Rationale: Oklahoma clearly has better losses. They lost less convincingly to Baylor, and their other loss was to a Top 5 (assuming OK St wins their conference) team in a nail-biter on the road, not to a MWC team by multiple scores at home. But BYU just as clearly has the better win, beating a ranked Utah team. Ultimately, I think this one comes down to whether Utah can beat Oregon. If Utah wins, they're a Top 12 or 13 team. They'd jump Oregon, Iowa, ACC loser at the least and possibly also Oklahoma, ACC winner, even us. That's a big-time win on our resume. If they lose, they probably drop down to the 20-25 range at best. It's still something, but no longer huge. Long story short, if Utah wins, we're ahead of Oklahoma. If not, we're behind. Since Utah has a 55% shot of beating Oregon, we've got a 55% chance of being ahead of Oklahoma
2. OK St beats Baylor convincingly enough to drop them behind us: 50% chance
Rationale: I don't think OK St has to embarrass Baylor, but it can't be a last-gasp win. There's about a 60% chance that Oklahoma St wins this game, but I'll discount it to 50% given that there's some chance Baylor stays ahead if it's close enough.
3. Cincy beats Houston: 75% chance
Rationale: Houston is a good team and has a puncher's chance, but Cincy is the heavy favorite here for a reason
4. Michigan beats Iowa: 70-75% chance
Rationale: Again, no disrespect to Iowa, but Michigan is in a different tier. It's not a guarantee but Michigan is quite likely to win.
5. Bama beats Georgia: 35-40% chance
Rationale: Georgia is really good. Bama has a chance to beat them for sure, but this is (at best) a 40/60 type game for them
6. OK State doesn't get the playoff spot: 50% chance
Rationale: If everything above goes as described, then the real concern is Oklahoma St vs Cincy for the last playoff spot. Honestly, that's as close to a coin flip as I can see.
So, assuming those are all independent cases (which seems a fair bet), the total odds for us making the NY6 are .55*.50*.75*.7*.4*.5 or 2.89%
