Big 12 Missing the CFP

[fastlax16]

Interesting scenario to chew on.

Army wins out, beating ND and Tulane in the CCG.
Boise wins out.
BYU drops to ASU this weekend and Colorado drops 1 of its last 2 you're guaranteed a 2 or 3 loss Big 12 champ depending how tiebreakers shake out. Let's say Colorado drops to KU but wins the conference title. You have Colorado with losses to Nebraska, K-State and either Kansas or OK State. Is that team ranked ahead of 13-0 Army? What if ASU wins out and wins the big 12 with losses to Cincinnati and Texas Tech?

Rules state the 5 highest ranked conference champs are in, not the p4 champs plus a g5 or whatever its called now.

I mean, that would be fun to see happen--doubt it will but bring on the chaos

Wrinkle: Army actually doesn't finish their season until the week after the CCG and CFP announcement - they could in theory win out and be picked for the CFP then lose to Navy.

That makes perfect sense.

The committee would take care of this and make sure the Big12 champ/ND is ahead of Army. The eye test would factor heavily. Nobody is upsetting the cash apple cart.

Are you saying that BYU would bring more interest in the CFP than Army?

The Big XII isn't part of the "cash apple cart"
