Utah is prolly the one team that viewed another game as more important than the CU game.

Yeah, gonna be tough for them to match that energy two weeks in a row, especially having to come to Boulder.

After the AD’s comments, I think that they will not get any favorable calls against us next week.
Maybe I’m a psychic, but… im predicting ISU loses to someone like Kansas????
(Isn’t it awesome the Jayhawks put us into the CCG by beating ISU?)
The best path now is for both BYU and Colorado to win out before the CCG with Colorado narrowly winning the B12 title.
Especially with the altitude and early kickoff.
Salt Lake City isn't exactly at sea level.
I don't understand what you mean. IF CU wins the Big 12, they either get the #4 seed if they are in front of the 5th Conference Champion and that means we play in a neutral site. IF we are the 5th place Conference Champion, we are looking at the 12 seed- and no home game.
There are scenarios where several teams ahead of us lose, we win out, BYU only loses to us in the Champ game and we finish above 12, but behind Boise. Though we'd need to finish #8 or higher to get the home game.
Also I haven't heard anyone mention the possibility that Boise loses the MWC Championship game, could be interesting seeing at who is #2 in the MWC
I agree, it is too early to tell if we jump enough spots to get a home game. We will likely know a lot more if we beat Utah & Kansas. We will have a very good idea if we have moved enough spots to get a home game PRIOR to the Oklahoma State game.
The chances of us playing in the first round and hosting a game are virtually nil.
Think about what I posted that
I get the Kansas part. You think we will lose at Arrowhead. I still have no idea what you mean about hosting a playoff game. I just don't see us able to host a game.
That's because you don't understand that the possibility was there back when I posted that theory. Look at the dates man
Oct 28... we still had almost no chance of hosting a game.... even back then.

Not great. Looking quickly, seems like we lose all tie breakers with BYU, ISU, and ASU. So we would need both ISU and ASU to lose one of their last two to get in.
So we need to root for BYU this weekend
So, speaking of that, Travis clearly went through a guy to break up a pass and then got a DPI call on Utah by clearly diving on a ball he could get to, so, yeah.....
I thought the calls were pretty even after that, but I'm not complaining.
We need to win period, but yes.
I think we should all consider the possibility that us hanging 49 on Utah and BYU losing at home to KU are both products of the game last Saturday night in SLC.
BYU is going to face a tough test in Tempe, but there's probably a better than 50% chance they beat them, roll Houston, and are in good shape going into the CCG.

I’m hoping somebody can simply answer this without me having to dig too far to find it. Is there a scenario where we play ASU for the B12 championship? To me, that would be perfect. Two PAC teams meeting to decide the championship of the B12.
Pretty sure it's straightforward. We win out, KSU beats ISU, ASU beats BYU. That should leave us as the only 1 loss team, and ASU and BYU as the only two loss teams. Head to head tiebreaker puts ASU in.
ETA though: Territorial Cup is in Tucson. ASU looks to be way better than AZ, but anything goes in a rivalry game.
BYU is a 1 to 2.5 point underdog against ASU next week (depending on the book) and your predictions about how these last few weeks were going to play out have been about as accurate as my election predictions.
