Commentator “it’s beginning to look like maybe only one team from Big 12 will make the CFP.”
It’s looked like that for about six weeks, bud. It’s beginning to look like they may not get anyone in the CFP.
BYU playoff chances with a win tonight 62% and 29.3% with a loss. BYU is the only “deserving” team from that conference.

#9 BYU outscores Utah 12-0 in the 2nd half and pulls out the 22-21 win on the road.
Looks like BYU will hold on to the #4 seed (and a 1st round bye in the CFP).
2 of the top 12 lost.
The next rankings will be interesting. Who's gonna get the 4 byes this week?

Coach/AD knows that the Big 12 needed BYU to win that game and it was fairly obvious to anyone who saw it. Utah got robbed and they know it.
4th and long with about a minute left for BYU near their own 5. Play happens with BYU taking a sack near the goal line and Utah should have taken over on downs. But there’s a flag…. Holding on the Utah CB. BYU marched down and kicked a fg with 3 seconds left. Utah coach gets an unsportsmanlike while Utah is returning subsequent kick off. He was pissed.
Probably??? But very weak. Something I’m sure happened 40 times before this on both sides without a call. Looked like hand fighting near the LOS.
Can’t find the video to link.
Thanks Fran. Seems like an easy call. Didn’t appear WR instigated contact either.
I guess some coaches don't want it called late in the game
The Utah AD got fined for his postgame comments where he said the game was "absolutely stolen" from Utah and that he was "disgusted by the professionalism" of the Big 12 officiating crew.
Utah AD fined $40K for criticizing Big 12 officials
The Big 12 fined Utah AD Mark Harlan $40K and issued a public reprimand in the wake of his disparaging comments about officiating after Utah's loss to BYU.
#9 BYU (9-0) is hosting 3-6 Kansas Saturday night.
BYU is only a 3-point favorite.
This is just one more sign of how bad the Big 12 really is and how a team like BYU does not deserve a first-round bye in the CFP.

I have a system more accurate than the "Playoff" committee
here is my updated 12
let's see how far off the committee is

7 Notre Dame

9 Clemson
10 SMU
11 Army
12 Colorado
I would be in favor of changing the seeding and eliminate reserved spots for certain conference champs. That could also be a way to eliminate the conference championship game which I would be OK with.
Given this is brand new this is a minor beef. I've been waiting for a playoff of any kind for more than a decade. The four team format was barely a toe in the water. This is the first true playoff format, I'll give it some slack as it gets started.
yea... I don't like getting rid of the Conference Championship Games..
they could expand to a 16 team format and have the runners up get a bye and the winners getting a double bye
not sure how smart these guys are, though.. that run the show

it just sucks that the Other 2 conferences get an automatic pass to the Elite 8
It's interesting that the 4 SEC teams do not include Georgia.
2 Texas
8 Tennessee
10 Alabama
11 Ole Miss
I think Indiana is already working on restructuring his contract
still that way after yesterday's reveal.
do you think the Power 2 conferences force a change?
#17 Colorado (8-2, 6-1) destroyed Utah today, 49-24.
The Buffs continue to control their own destiny in chasing a Big 12 championship game bid.
#6 ranked BYU currently sits at 6-0 in the conference. Colorado is 6-1. The remaining 14 Big 12 teams all have 2 or more conference losses.

#12 Georgia (8-2) beat #7 Tennessee (8-2) yesterday, 31-17.
Georgia has played the most difficult schedule in the FBS, according to ESPN's College Football Power Index, and has the third-best strength of record, which reflects whether an average Top 25 team would have a team's record or better against its schedule.
Georgia HC Kirby Smart. on the CFP selection committee:
"I don't know what they're looking for. I really don't. I wish they could really define the criteria. I wish they could do the eyeball test where they come down here and look at the people we're playing against and look at them. You can't see that stuff on TV, and so I don't know what they look for. But that's for somebody else to decide. I'm worried about our team."

Smart critical of CFP committee after UGA victory
Coming off a devastating loss last week, Carson Beck and No. 12 Georgia bounced back and positioned themselves for a likely playoff berth with a 31-17 victory over No. 7 Tennessee on Saturday.
Where will BYU (now 9-1) land after losing 17-13 last night at home to Kansas (now 4-6)? Can they say bye-bye to their 1st round bye?
Will Boise State replace BYU and now be projected with a 1st round bye?
Yikes.

Giving a first round bye to #12 Boise is just flat stupid.
Seems like one of the issues they'll revisit.
Giving the lesser conference champs a ticket to the playoffs makes sense in continuing to keep interest in the playoff system. But byes and home games should be based on rank.
