BYU or TT loss

Which one helps us most?

2

PATHWAY #1 (Texas Tech):

  • Texas Tech: must win out the rest of their season
  • BYU: must lose to Texas Tech and TCU (even better if UCF gets the upset)
  • Cincinnati: must lose to Arizona or TCU
  • Utah: just needs one more loss (Baylor, Kansas State, or Kansas)
  • Arizona State: Houston holds the tie breaker

PATHWAY #2 (BYU):

  • BYU: must win out the rest of their season
  • Texas Tech: needs to lose 2 more games (BYU, and UCF or West Virginia)
  • Cincinnati: must lose to BYU, and Arizona or TCU
  • Utah: just needs one more loss (Baylor, Kansas State, or Kansas)
  • Arizona State: Houston holds the tie breaker

If Tech wins another game, I think we are out.

Nice. That aligns with my rooting interests. Go blue Cougs!

If both cougars finish 7-2 who has the tiebreaker?

BYU due to opponents records

If BYU loses this game, 2 out of their next 3 are tough games but we would need them to lose 2. If tech loses, their next 2 are very winnable and we would need them to lose one of those. Not really sure which path is more likely

If BYU loses to Texas Tech (which I think they will, and badly), then they will only need to lose to either TCU or UCF.

Noth both. That would put them at 2 losses.

If UH wins out, then we hold the tiebreaker over BYU technically.

Are you sure that’s how it works?

BYU barely escaped Arizona and Colorado, and OOC opponents are not factored into the Big 12 CCG.

Not really.

I think Tech winning out gives us the easier pathway.

BYU needs to lose to Tech and then either TCU or UCF, which I don’t think is that far fetched considering BYU nearly escaped Colorado and Arizona.

Of course none of this matters if UH loses any more games.

Big 12 opponents winning percentages is one of the tie breakers

If team A and Team B are both 3-0 but did not play each other

Team A beat UH, Tech and BYU

Team B beat Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Colorado

Team A wins the tiebreaker because they beat the stronger conference opponents

As great as a championship game would be, I’m happy with beating Baylor and winning a bowl. It’s been a good season.

There are a lot of teams with 2 or less losses (half the conference). We would hold the clear tiebreaker over 2 of them if we win out. We would need a lot to go right.

If Tech wins out, we are all fighting for 1 spot. If they lose 2 more, we have a shot at 2 spots.

Well any path to the CCG for UH is a long shot, but I would put money on BYU losing more games than I would Tech. Tech is damn near an SEC team playing in the Big 12. BYU in my honest opinion, is not as good as their record suggests.

  • Houston [5-2] has TCU and Baylor remaining after just defeating UCF.
  • Texas Tech [5-1] has BYU, UCF and WVU which I anticipate they win all 3
  • BYU [5-0] has Texas Tech, TCU, Cincinnati, and UCF (I think TCU will upset them)
  • Utah [4-2] has Baylor, Kansas, and Kansas State remaining (they lose any of these games and they are out)
  • Cincy [4-1] has Arizona, BYU and TCU remaining (I think they will 2 of these 3)
  • That would put Arizona State and TCU and the remaining 2-loss teams.

Don’t forget Cincinnati still has Arizona, BYU and TCU

Yeah i forgot to add them. I update the list.

If we take care of business at TCU, then I think Cincy (who i also believes is not as good as their record suggests) will get losses to TCU or Arizona (hopefully both)

I think UH’s path to the CCG is not as far fetched as everyone seems, but yet, it will require UH winning out + help with upsets

Will BYU finally be exposed? Lol
