The only reason Texas Tech is automatically in even with a loss and BYU isn’t is NIL headlines

BYU only L is @ Tech. Wins over Utah and Arizona

Tech only L is at unranked ASU. Wins over Utah and BYU

Tech was without their starting quarterback for that loss though, right? Also handled business in every other game. BYU has looked sluggish in other games.

We need TTU to hold on but BYU to keep it close in this second half so they can keep them above Miami

I'm not sure why everyone is convinced BYU drops with a loss. That they aren't as good as TT isn't new information. It should already be factored into their ranking. I'm also not sure why they are acting like the committee is adjusting rankings while the last team in the 4-team grouping still has a game to play.
Every CCG loser dropped last year. But it really turns on whether or not they want to flip ND and Miami or not. If they want to, they will just drop BYU, even with a close loss. I don't think how BYU loses (if they lose) will determine whether ND or Miami gets in.

That's best case scenario because that gives BYU two losses with them being better than Miami.

Hammond isn’t a downgrade from Morton, arguably an upgrade especially given Morton’s injury.

Even assuming they will drop BYU, Alabama is still playing. They aren't re-ranking the pod on the fly before that game ends given that the debate was supposedly Bama/ND and not ND/BYU/Miami.

Do you think it would turn into a BYU/ND debate (if it's close) as both teams would have 2 really good L's?

Penn State dropped, but they stayed ahead of us, which is relevant.

Tessitore and Palmer act like they’re at a funeral whenever something doesn’t go BYU’s way. They were cheering hard for Pitt too a few weeks ago when we beat them

Texas Tech kinda sucks. Why would they be a lock with a loss? Who have they beaten?
They haven’t beaten anyone but they have destroyed all of their opponents, similar to ND. BYU meanwhile has been scraping by with wins

Well I felt good until this moment. Can make it a two possession game and Tech goes for it. Moronic

I don't agree. The committee chair went out of his way to say ND-Bama conversation was one of the closest debates of the last 2 years. Bama loses, unless its one score game, and they drop behind ND.
To drop behind ND yes. I’m saying to miss the playoffs
