BYU ranks as one of only 10 Power Four teams with one loss or fewer, but the Cougars are sitting on the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff bracket after Week 12. The Cougars lost their first game of the season 29-7 against No. 6 Texas Tech , and now lead only Georgia Tech among one-loss teams.

However, the Cougars are far from dead in the CFP race, even if they need some help. Certainly, making the Big 12 Championship Game and winning would lock up a spot. Even so, an at-large spot is well within reach if things break right. Here's how BYU's playoff outlook looks heading into the home stretch, including the storylines Cougars fans should keep an eye on.
