Arizona State fails to get a 3rd and 1 at the BYU 11.  Now 4th and 1, Arizona State up 5, BYU timeout, 2:40 left.  Will be an interesting call on the other side of the timeout.  Arizona State can kick the field goal to go up 8 or they can go for the first down which would make it very difficult for BYU to win should they get it.  Sun Devils do have an excellent back should they go for it.

Two big SEC games later:  A&M at Auburn and Alabama at Oklahoma.

[RaceToTheTop 25,835]

Arizona State goes for it with a shaky kicker....running back went the wrong way and the quarterback had to try to scramble for the first down.  They don't get it.  2 1/2 minutes left, BYU takes the lead with a touchdown.

Anyone could see a fake punt coming on 4th and 1

This is a nightmare scenario I can’t get out of my head. The 6 SEC teams win out besides A&M beating TX, making them all 2 loss teams. ND, PSU and OSU win out as well. We lose next week in that scenario obviously. You’ve got Oregon, SEC champ, ACC champ, B12 champ, G5 champ, and ND as locks. OSU and PSU are in ahead of us. That leaves 5 spots for IU and 4 two loss SEC teams and the 3 loss SEC team who loses their championship game. I don’t want to be IU on selection day in that scenario.

Arizona State blowing it.  BYU up to the their own 37 in two plays.  Two minute warning.

It would be better for IU if BYU lost as that would insure every Big 12 team had two losses prior to the conference championship.

It already didn't happen -- Ole Miss lost.

[RaceToTheTop 25,835]

Come on, Arizona State

[cbp4iu 1,474]

With Penn State most likely ending this game.

A&M loss would be the next thing needed.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,301]

PSU is going to win this

If IU loses to this PU team they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. Period. Doubly so since it's a home game. 

It doesn't matter at that point what other teams do.

A&M loss tonight to Auburn or next week to Texas would be fine.

[RaceToTheTop 25,835]

Refs helping BYU out.

[Banksyrules 4,802]

Interception. Arizona State gonna win. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,835]

Arizona State interception ran back inside the BYU 10.

BYU will get their second loss -- all Big 12 teams will have two losses or more.  Four way tie for first now -- no way they can be anything more than a one bid league.

[DoctorP 1,075]

Minnesota coulda really helped us out today. But can’t complain about the results so far 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,301]

Huge pick

I wrote that last week, so “next week” meant today, against OSU.

[RaceToTheTop 25,835]

Penn State 9 yard run.  Will be fourth and one at the 14.  Can kick the field goal to go up 4 with under 25 seconds left or can go for it.
