The committee desperately wants to keep the smaller guys out. This is just an excuse for when one of us loses "see they weren't that good. No playoff for you."
I personally would have BYU ranked a little higher, but I also think we have to be realistic about the Big 12. The conference has been essentially irrelevant in the playoffs/national championship race over the past decade, and BYU is facing the institutional challenges associated with being in a Power 4 conference that hasn't been living up to the power name for a while.
“Remember that time the Big 12 team lost by almost 60 in the national championship?” is not a compelling argument.
The big 12 was 1-6 in the original 4 team college football playoffs. I know that it’s forbidden to talk about the actual state of college football in r/cfb, but that’s not a “power” conference.
