Big 12 Championship Tie Breaker

Biggest item for us is the tie breaker for Multiple Team ties. For CU to make it to the B12 title game we need to have BYU and ISU lose at least 1 game. If that happens, the top tie breaker is record against a common opponent. The only common opponent between all 4 teams is KU. So we absolutely have to root for the Jayhawks to beat BYU and ISU. If that happens, and CU wins out, we would be in. This is going to be an absolute mess though in the next 5 weeks. We need to win out, we need ISU and BYU to lose at least 1. BYU has KU, UU, UH, and ASU left. ISU has KSU, KU, UU, UC left. KSU has ISU, UC, UH, and ASU left.

irrelevant!

Do you think the CFP would leave out a 10 win CU team with 2 and 12 up for the he12man?

Just get to 10 wins and get the at large bid.

 

[Liver]

if the Buffs don't win the conference, the odds are really stacked against an at large bid.

but it isn't impossible. control what can be controlled. 10-2 in year 2 would be freaking epic.

let's roll.

KSU and ISU still have to play, so that changes the scenario. We just need to win out. I think the rest will work itself out.

 

[Bison]

I'm not worried about the B12 CCG...just control what we can control and that is winning out.

Was thinking the same thing. There will be quite the conundrum whether to put in a 10-2 SEC/B1G team or a 10-2 CU team

If KSU beats ISU, KSU is going to the B12 CCG not us because KSU beat both ISU and us.

 

[mattrob]

If KSU beats ISU, KSU is going to the B12 CCG not us because KSU beat both ISU and us.

Unless ASU or Cincinnati somehow gets them first, yes. It's a mess right now and we're at least a couple of weeks away from any sort of clarity.

Only if it's Illinois, Indiana or Mizzou.

I also think the committee will favor 10-3 CCG losers over 10-2 3rd place finishers.

10-2 Notre Dame compared to 10-2 Colorado would be the dream scenario for the hot take factories.

BYU and ISU aren't losing, and the CFP isn't a) taking 3 Big 12 teams and b) taking a 10-2 CU team over a 12-1 Big 12 CCG loser. I think the Big 12 gets two teams in, but it's going to be 13-0 BYU/ISU and 12-1 BYU/ISU. Our chances died with that KSU go route.

It's fun to think about, but let's just get to 10-2 and go to the Alamo Bowl (again) where we can play Washington State and beat their asses to go to 11-2. That'll be a hell of a successful season.

The timeline where CU hosts a Folsom home game to kick off the CFP is plausible. It's gonna be sad to watch that dream die in a NFL stadium.

Yuck. I didn't know til just now that we're playing KU in Mullethead. I don't think it makes much of a difference - there's no way they're filling that thing - but it's kinda lame to have this particular game in an NFL stadium.

Fixed for you. This is all utterly unpossible.

yea, probably true. They are playing their backup QB after all.

To be fair the offseason odds were
To win conference +3000/+3500
To make playoffs +1800/+2400

 

[BuffUp]

I feel the opposite. I see isu and byu dropping a game. Those two are not known for going undefeated and that is hard to do these days. Pressure gets to be to much + players get dinged up, plenty of film.
byu at utah huge rivals

You can't bwalk something that was never going to happen in the first place.

****tiest thing about these mega-conferences is the inability to control your own destiny.

I'll own it if I'm wrong, but I think BYU names their score against Utah. The Yoots are cooked.

KSU plays ISU and if KSU loses to ISU, CU should jump ahead of KSU in the rankings assuming CU wins out.

If we win out, we'll finish 3rd in the conference, which is great considering where we were even last year. We're not going to the CFP at 10-2 though. Like I said, BYU and ISU both go before we do, and the committee isn't putting 3 Big 12 teams in the CFP, even if we end up ranked much higher than we are right now.

Getting worked up about the CFP is greedy anyway. I'm pretty sure that most of us were predicting 7, 8 wins. 10 would be remarkable, regardless of where it puts us in the postseason.
