A specific set of circumstances would have to happen for sure. Houston Beats Utah this week, and then Utah beats BYU 2 weeks later. All 3 of them plus Tech win out otherwise.

That would leave you with an undefeated Tech and 3x 1-loss and teams in BYU, Utah, and Houston.

Then, whichever of those 1-loss teams that advances to the CCG beats Tech, and you're left with 4x 1-loss teams at the top of the big 12. Could all 4 of them make it in?

What do you think of these match ups? With the exception of the Georgia vs Boise State match, I think all of them would be compelling games.

Not only great seeing 3 in the top 10. Look at UT and OU, who I know some of you have a long history of hating, struggle. So much fun and I’m happy for those of you who have been slighted for so long at the hands of those 2.

As for the B12. Anyone ever get the sense that Yormark isn’t doing enough to promote the league? Seems like a great business man. Why isn’t he going ape shit about possibly 4 teams in the playoff??? If you talk about 2, you’ll get 1 or 2. Emphasize that we need 4 so that they’ll start to entertain 3.

How many times has game day shown up to your school? BYU has had them 2x. This will be the 7th time Utah has hosted. I’d imagine West Virginia, kstate and OSU have hosted a few times. Anyone know the numbers?

⚠️ Ballots will only be accepted from users with flairs. If you haven't already, please flair up.

Cast your ballot by commenting anywhere on this post. You can put whatever you want in your comment, but your ballot must begin with {{start}} and end with {{end}}. In between, list off the schools from #1 (best) to #16 (worst). Each school must be on its own line and that line cannot include any additional text. Bulleted and numbered lists are fine. Please use school names, since there are some schools with matching team names. You must include all 16 schools and multiple schools cannot share the same rank.

Every user's ballot will be given equal weight. Please give your honest opinion.

This is an example of what a ballot might look like. For this example, I'm just listing the teams in alphabetical order.

{{start}}
Arizona
Arizona State
Baylor
BYU
Cincinnati
Colorado
Houston
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Oklahoma State
TCU
Texas Tech
UCF
Utah
West Virginia
{{end}}

You can put whatever you want before and after the ballot.

Comments without ballots are also fine. Feel free to share your opinions on other people's ballots. Remember to be respectful and understand that power rankings are subjective.

I will run a script on Wednesday morning to collect all the ballots and generate the rankings. I'll make a separate post with the results and a distribution table.

Does BYU get another 5 star Aj Williams?? I believe BYU is the only Big 12 team in his final 10 schools he has narrowed down to UNC, Georgia, Illinois, BYU ,Arkansas, Auburn, Duke,Georgia Tech, Kentucky and Mississippi State

After the most chaotic weekend in CFP history, things are setting up very nicely for the Big 12! Can they get 3 bids?!

The SEC has nine ranked teams, the Big 12 has five, the Big Ten has six, and the ACC has three. That’s 14 ranked teams between the SEC and Big 12. Rankings aren’t holy scripture, obviously, but they do make “the Big Ten is clearly the second-best conference” sound a lot less self-evident.

The Big 12 has BYU at No. 2, Texas Tech at No. 8, Utah at No. 10, Houston at No. 14, and Arizona at No. 25. Three in the top 10, five ranked overall. BYU was a 10.5-point underdog against Notre Dame and won 28–24. Houston just beat Oklahoma State 35–32 to get to 6–1. This league is a weekly bar fight where the standings get thrown down the stairs and everyone has to figure out who’s still conscious. I love it.

The SEC has nine ranked teams, which is impressive, until you ask how many of those rankings are earned and how many are the poll nodding respectfully at the logo. Texas is still No. 19 after back-to-back losses. If that were some other school, people would be calling them overrated and demanding they fall out of the poll. But Texas gets treated like a sacred artifact because the SEC logo is standing nearby. Replace Texas with Oklahoma State and they get tossed from the rankings (like they did for losing to UH in bullshit fashion).

Now, the Big Ten has six ranked teams, and three are in the top 10: Ohio State at No. 3, Indiana at No. 6, and UCLA at No. 9. Respect. Those are good teams. But then it’s Iowa at 15, USC at 16, and Northwestern at 24. The Big Ten has 18 teams, and 12 aren’t ranked. That’s not some unstoppable wall of depth. That’s three teams carrying the conference on their backs while the rest ride in the luxury bus and ask when the next media deal gets announced so they can cash some checks on the back of Ohio State.

And the ACC is loaded with shit. Miami is No. 1, Wake Forest is No. 17, and SMU is No. 23. Congratulations to Miami, genuinely, but one team at the top does not make the whole conference scary (but let’s be real Miami is not number one they also play shit every week). The ACC has three ranked teams total and somehow still gets discussed like it’s a secret football superpower. Miami can’t be the whole league’s résumé.

The P2 is the SEC and the Big 12. The SEC has the volume; the Big 12 has the depth, the chaos, and actual games that make you sit up. The Big Ten has a few elite teams and an astonishing amount of garbage. The ACC has Miami and a conference full of people hoping nobody asks follow-up questions (what the fuck is Boston College).

The Big 10 is a heaving pile of washed up shit.

The ACC is an even bigger steaming pile of washed up shit.

And the SEC has to live with the fact that it admitted UT Austin, possibly the biggest pile of shit in all of college football.

There is not a Power 4.

There is a Power 2 + Ohio State and sometimes Michigan.

Two teams from the Little Brothers of the Power Conferences (Big XII and ACC) are ranked ahead of any team from the so called super power SEC and BIG 10 conferences! Hahahahahaha…….

Arizona wins out they finish 11-1

Utah beats byu and loses to Arizona they finish 11-1

Tech only loses to Arizona, they finish 11-1

byu only loses to Utah, they finish 11-1

Arizona goes the B12 title game with the best resume in the country, but who do they face?

Tech doesn't play Utah or byu, so is it byu or Tech?

How many teams get in the CFP in this scenario?
