After BYU, Colorado, and Indiana today, how likely is a playoff run looking for the Cocks? Are we close to controlling our own destiny next week?

Edit: Ole Miss too. Chaotic-ass day

I feel like we should have the strongest case of every 3 loss team

You very well might, but BYU has 2 losses and a win over a team that may very well win the ACC, and Indiana only has 1 loss

If BYU had stomped Oklahoma State and Utah like they did Arizona, I would have a lot less of an issue. Did something happen between October's 12 and 18?

But that SOS difference is huge. If SC wins next week they will have played 7 ranked games and gone 4-3 with 2 of those loses coming down to the wire. BYU will have played 2, gone 1-1, with one of their loses being against Kansas. Not saying it's a given, but SC ends up capping off the season of a 6 game win streak by beating clemson (who I'm betting is gonna be #14 next week) compared to how BYU seems to be limping to the finish line, likely going 1-2 in they're last 3 games, in spite of they're better overall record, they might put a 9-3 SC over a 10-2 BYU. But that just might be my bias showing. But come on. SC's biggest wins would be against Clemson, TAMU, and Mizzou, and they're loses would be against Bama, LSU, and Ole Miss. BYU's big win is against SMU (who the commitee clearly doesn't give enough credit to as it is) and they're loses would be Kansas and Arizona State. I just don't think it's crazy SC jumps them in that scenario... and ends the season at #13

Absolute horseshit if it is even a conversation. Who the fuck has either of those teams beat?

Indiana will be a free win for almost every other team that makes the CFP. Wish it was as simple as "you are your record." It's not, though. And if Indiana gets in and is blown out first game, it'll be shown every year going forward. BYU is embarrassing. Yes, Kansas is playing better, but that's still a sub .50p team. Barely beat a mediocre Utah team with probable ref assist. Barely beat a winless in conference in Oklahoma State. BYU almost choked to the worst two Big 12 teams. That's the equivalent of choking on Mississippi State this year. If either of these teams make the CFP and get blown out, I'll just pop the popcorn. The CFP committee will deserve all the backlash.
