The three opponents UH, Cincinnati, and Arizona State have in common are: Arizona, TCU, and Baylor. So I guess it depends on which game Cincinnati loses. If Cincinnati’s loss is to Arizona or Baylor, UH wins the three-way tie-breaker. If Cincinnati’s loss is to BYU, Arizona State wins the three-way tie-breaker.
You can’t let the tiebreaker get to record of conference opponents. UH will almost certainly lose that one due to its favorable schedule this year.
I like this much better, champ game hope-meter has some juice now lol
Maybe we’ll get lucky and cincy will go ahead and lose to Arizona, which is a real possibility.
The good news is that no matter how the games turn out next week, there will still be a path to the CCG for UH.
Oddly, UH fans should cheer for Tech to win out. If Tech loses a game and ends up 7-2, it increases the chance of a multi-way tie at 7-2. A multi-way tie increases the odds that “conference opponent win percentage” comes into play as a tiebreaker. UH loses out if the tiebreaker gets that far.
Sounds like a sweet parlay!
Tech is clearly the best Big 12 Team and will finish in First Place.
After that we will see Cincinnati lose at least one more, and likely two more losses. They then disappear as a contender.
Either BYU or our Houston Cougars will finish second.
Probably BYU.
Man… the interactions I had with TCU fans at the UNC vs TCU game to kickoff the season have put them way up on the hate list for me…
While we’re mainlining all of this hopium, when does UH have to worry about James Madison losing another game? As it stands now, if UH were the Big 12 Champ, the Coogs wouldn’t qualify for the autobid to the CFP. The five conference champs would be from the SEC, ACC, Big 10, American, and Sun Belt.
Of course, if UH beats a Top 10 Tech in the CCG, it will almost certainly leapfrog over James Madison even if JMU wins out.
We’ll for sure be ranked if we beat TCU. Not sure JMU will get ranked until they reach 11-1 (if they do rather).
That is not correct. UH would qualify. It is the four power 4 conference winners automatically…then the highest ranked group of 5 conference winner. It would be someone from sunbelt or American….not both.
It’s not wrong.
The CFP auto bids are for the top 5 highest ranked conference champions outright.
It’s merely ASSUMED that four of them will be Power Schools, but it’s possible for three P4 schools and two G5s to get autobids. in the CFP
Well if UH wins out and beats Tech they will no doubt pass James Madison and whoever the American champ is.

Wow!
I don’t see how ASU would come out ahead of us in this scenario
Yea i started to question how the tiebreakers are setup in that website lol. Hopefully we win out to see what really happens. This season has already surpassed my expectations but the bar has been raised and i want more Ws
