That's great for the G5's

Army had their chance and got curb stomped by Notre Dame

There's a non zero chance that the Big XII could miss the playoffs entirely.  I doubt it happens, but if enough chaos takes place between all of the teams that have a chance (something like 8 teams are mathematically alive), the right combination could have the winner fall behind Tulane in the final poll.  It's not likely, but it's a possibility.

The real saving grace with the BIG12 is Kansas State playing Iowa State this Saturday. If Kansas State wins and BYU, Colorado, and Arizona State all lose, you're looking at the Big 12 champion having 3 losses at worst and I'm not sure that's enough to keep them out and Tulane in.

What kind of chaos do you think would have to happen to keep the Big12 out?

if the Big 12 championship game is between two 9-3 teams and Tulane runs the table impressively that's gotta at least sew some doubt...especially considering Tulane is currently ranked above all save ASU.

If Utah, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Baylor, Houston, TCU, Kansas State and Texas Tech all win this weekend a 2-seed Texas Tech plays 1-seed Baylor in the Big XII Title game.  I don't see either jumping Tulane.

 

 

You can play with various scenarios here.  It's actually unbelievable how many there are.

Edit: Great, now it doesn't seem to be working.  Trust me, it was a few minutes ago!

Just 23 months ago we went toe-to-toe against BSU in the Frisco Bowl.  Now they are actually looking at a first round bye in the CFP and we're sitting at #97.  Crazy to think about what can happen in such a short amount of time.

Don't know what the tie breakers look like but Tulane losing to Kansas State is painful right now.

Yes, that's how close we are.....er, were.    

I love chaos in the CFP.  Until they do like all other Playoffs and let all Conference champs into the Playoff, it will be bogus!

 Can you imagine the panic if Boise State and Tulane got in but the Big 12 was left out?

[NT93]

I would think losses to KSt and OU would be enough to keep Tulane out, but who knows.  Honestly, those two losses make a pretty good case against Tulane getting in since they have no signature win except Navy…if that’s even a great win.

Crazier things have happened, but it'd still be pretty high on the "crazy things" list!
