I think a 12-1 Miami with their only loss to a #2 or even #1 ND on the road by 7 without our best player gets a bye without question.
SEC Champ, ND, B1G champ and Miami are your 4 byes. But we do need Utah to lose a game in this situation. If they’re 13-0 they’re obviously getting a bye and we might be screwed.
All eyes on Utah this week. Very big, emotional win last week. Now on the road at Arizona, they’re only a 2.5 point favorite. We need them to lose that game.
5 is a very good spot. Home playoff game against a 12 seed (possibly G5). Track record of teams with playoff byes is generally horrible, and especially true for UM in terms of playing after bye weeks.
