@chrisfallica My model says Iowa (19.3%, 5th best in Big10), Nebraska (15.2%, 6th best) and then UCLA (7.9%, 8th best). But UCLA is rising fast!

Yeah, it is an interesting and close one. My model says Pitt is actually the bigger at-large threat right now, but more importantly, they take the bigger jump with a win than VT does. Your point about the remaining schedules could definitely be part of that.

A Pitt win takes them from 8.7% → 16.0% at-large, while VT only goes from 6.7% → 9.3%.

@dcopeland366 @BuckeyeNatty 😂Haha, totally fair

Fun one: the model says “Washington being bad” isn’t universally good for Big Ten contenders.

If UW beats USC:
Iowa +2.3 CFP pts
Indiana prefers UW slightly

If USC wins:
Ohio State +1.0 pts vs. the UW outcome
Oregon +0.4

For Iowa, a UW win is actually its most helpful result of the day (see image)

@TheStampedeUT @CoachMackBrown @BobBallouSports Focus during the bye week?On the field, probably rest 😂. On the scoreboard though, Texas still has a bunch to watch this weekend. The Rooting Guide has these three games as the biggest outside results affecting the Horns’ CFP path.

@Grantwills @BenCriddleShow Yeah, this was fascinating to me too. A strong Utah helps BYU’s résumé, but we also play Iowa State, so their strength helps too. Utah is the bigger Big 12 threat, though, so a Utah loss would have helped BYU’s path to the title game—and CFP—more. Moot point now though 😂

@ebikezinho @BenCriddleShow It is a website!

Pretty cool to see The Rooting Guide being used in the wild already 👀

@casey_lundquist used the model to help inform which results would help BYU most during the bye week.

@NDFootball Big game! A win only increases ND's CFP odds by 1%, but a loss would decrease them by 16%!

There are multiple other games this weekend with big Notre Dame CFP implications though!

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

@ugasportscom Big game for Georgia! A win would boost their CFP odds by 6%. But, some other big games this weekend that impact their odds too!

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

@BYUSportsNation @BerryTramel A model I have been working on still gives Texas Tech the slight edge. But it is a 3-horse race at the top right now!

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

@BYUfootball Love The Cut! But now we need to become Colorado State fans! This weekend's CSU game is actually a particularly important game.

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

@CenterStMedia @BYUfootball Utah!! I agree Notre Dame is more important for this year's CFP chances, but long term I want to keep the upper hand on Utah (particularly important for recruiting!)

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

@DallinwBYU 😂😂so true. But, Iowa State is also the best result for our CFP odds this year!
