Yeah, I mean, BYU winning that game is the ultimate chaos scenario.
'Cause if BYU wins that game, you're not leaving Texas Tech out.
Texas Tech, I think, would fall out of a first-round bye.
Should fall out of first round by, but BYU wins.
And then that creates, I mean, that's a bid thief, really.
So that kind of creates a really chaotic scenario, let's say.
For the ACC.
If Duke wins, then we'll talk about the ACC championship game a little bit more because it Is, its a gross one for sure.
If Duke wins the ACC Championship and BYU wins the Big 12 Championship, There is a legitimate chance that the ACC gets left out of the College Football Playoff Entirely because the Big 12, which maybe previously felt like one big league, Now, all of a sudden, it's 2.
And Duke will not be one of the five highest ranked conference champions.
So, you're looking at JMU; if they win their conference championship, Getting in over the ACC.
So if BYU wins the Big 12 championship, things all of a sudden get really hectic and tense All of a sudden, things get really iffy for Notre Dame.
I would say Miami is totally and completely out.
Of it, but Notre Dame, if BYU beats Texas Tech, Notre Dame will not get in college football Playoff, and I don't think the ACC will either.
Yeah, and I think that's the most stunning part of it for so many people.
Like, you're right, and even our friend Mike Oler Jr. Who knows Notre Dame better than anybody whos been tweeting loudly for the better part of, Since the last rankings came out.
This is simple.
If BYU wins, Notre Dame will not go there.
College Football Playoff.
And, uh, that is such a weird statement.
To make, especially because this is a, a, a wild spot that BYU is in.
If they win this game, they're going to the College Football Playoff, and they're keeping Notre Dame is out.
If they lose this game.
They're likely not going to the College Football Playoff at all.
So BYU is really the holder of all the chaos cards for so many of these programs, and that doesn't even get into the Miamis of the world, Right?
So, I think you're right.
Thats why this is so precarious.
Now, I should note that Texas Tech is a favorite in this game.
And, in the eyes of many, a better football team, but I, I still think theres going to be a great game.
Like I, We've talked about possible or probable outcomes.
To me, it's not improbable that BYU could win that football game.
