Does an 11-2 Iowa team make the playoffs?

[NorthernHawkeye]

Let's say Iowa wins out in the regular season and finishes 11-1. We make the conference championship game and lose to finish 11-2. Still in?

 

[Scott559]

Doubtful.

Yes. They do not want conference title games to penalize teams.
11-1 is our ticket to dance.

 

[WeBeHerkin]

Yes if that loss is in BTCG. You can’t penalize teams for playing an extra game.

 

[theiacowtipper]

Agree with above. 11-2 with the loss in the conference championship and we are in. 10-2 and there’s no way.

Who knows. The CFP committee changes every year, and requirements or metrics change as well.

Bama making it last year after getting killed in the SECCG may have been a one off.

 

[MeetTheFerentzes]

5-1
(In dishonor of you know who)

Yes. Lots of losses for other teams out there still.

 

[MFinn]

I think a 10-2 Iowa gets in.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

11-2 DOES get in, that would mean you are going to let another conference member at 10-2 in OVER 11-2?

Did Iowa get blown out again or was it a competitive game? That might be the answer to your question.
