Congrats slick! On making the playoffs! Great year for you! Keep it goin'!!!
Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Kansas has NOT clinched!
Lots of things have to fall into place, but if they do, Kansas will not make the playoffs if:
Kansas loses
Syracuse wins
Clemson wins
Kentucky wins
Tennessee loses
In that scenario, Kentucky wins the division with a head to head tiebreaker over Tennessee.
Syracuse wins the division with a head to head tiebreaker over Clemson. Now Kansas, Tennessee, and Clemson are all 11-5. Based on the NFL tiebreakers for 3 or more clubs, the tiebreaker that will be used to separate is conference record, where Tennessee gets the 5 seed with a 9-3 conf record, while Kansas and Clemson would be 8-4. Now Kansas and Clemson do their 2 club tiebreaker. No head to head works and conference records identical. So we use common opponent record. Both teams played Bama, Oklahoma State, and Miami. Kansas is 2-2 against those teams. Clemson is 3-1. Clemson gets the 6 seed.
I could have very well made a mistake, but I'm pretty sure it's correct. Obviously a lot has to happen, but never say never :)
