Apparently the Big 12's new tv deal is a big win.

Notre Dame at #6 and BYU at #14 makes sense

We barely beat two crap teams and lost to a third. We are probably ranked higher

BSU had #1 Oregon beaten on the road before the punt and kick returns for TDs.

Better resume? We beat SMU on the road. That is better than anything they

So their loss to Oregon is better than beating two ranked teams?

Exactly. The CFP committee can shove a beefy 5 up their collective butts.

If ASU wins this game are they basically a lock for the CCG if they win out?

MaximusMeridius

ASU controls their own destiny. They'll own the tiebreakers with CU, ISU, & BYU

Blue Ghost

Unless BYU loses to Houston, then ASU gets knocked out by ISU

BYUFootballisBack

I said nothing about it being a lock for BYU if they won. I said BYU controls

Blue Ghost

6:08pm

ASU does not control their own destiny completely

BYUFootballisBack

6:08pm

Yes, they do. If they win the next 2, they own all the tiebreakers at 7-2

Put it into this tiebreaker site, if BYU loses the next two games it has ISU and

Let’s just say we’d all be praying anxiously for a miracle from Arizona

Heath Squashwell

A Colorado loss at Kansas this week is what we really need

ORCoug

Both BYU & ASU get to CCG by winning next two. Thats what makes Sat so huge.

Soupie

6:01pm

Same goes for CU. All 3 control their own destiny.

Blue Ghost

6:03pm

Right, it's basically a CCG play-in game. Just double checking its true for ASU

MaximusMeridius

6:04pm

ASU controls destiny no more or less than BYU and CU

Rexy Coug

6:03pm

Which means they control it completely

MaximusMeridius

Not completely true. If BYU loses to Houston, ISU gets in over ASU. So they dont

Why is a dominant O looked at better than a dominant D?

NYCougz

Because scoring points is how you win.

russkiejedi

6:03pm

Right you have to score more than zero. But some teams give up more points.

To be top 5 in the country you need to have both.

We have a guaranteed path to the playoff if we win the next 3 games. All

kosmokramer

5:54pm

Pretty simple at this point. Win out or go to some crappy bowl game.

Beggar

5:46pm

So we have a bad loss. Why the heck is ND getting a pass for their bad loss.

dallasbyu

5:44pm

Because they've crushed it since.

GfB

5:46pm

Their offense scores.

Beggar

5:46pm

So why is only a great O looked at as a positive. What about a dominant D like

dallasbyu

5:47pm

Their D has been pretty good too. But in the end, it's brand bias

Beggar

5:48pm

Flatten their bad opponents, look really good

CycloneCoug

5:47pm

Our bad loss is more recent. Maybe if we go and score 66 points like they did

foofcoug

5:48pm

NIU loss is way worse than KU loss.

Soupie

6:03pm

Yep. But they get a pass because it was earlier and they have dominated crap

dallasbyu

6:06pm

Because it's Notre Dame. It's crap but that's how they are viewed

TNT

6:09pm

The Big 12 has our back. LOL.

westsidecoug

I don’t get why they would do that?

Borg

I think they are just having fun.

westsidecoug

They want two teams in

2FarGone

If they did the refs would have called some obvious penalties against Kansas

YOHONOMOTO

No kidding. First defensive play our DB gets knocked on his back and no call.

I am still blown away that we thought we could afford to get complacent... Players and coaches got lazy

Coug Texan

5:42pm

They were crowd surfing after the Utah game like we won the NC.

Hawk Talons

5:43pm

We were a couple of bonehead play calls away from 10-0

DirtyWater

5:43pm

Monday thru Friday practice was the difference. That's where 10+ points extra matter

Coug

5:44pm

And a couple of plays from 7-3.

A record every BYU fan would have died for over the summer

RenoCoug

I know if they tried harder, we would be #1.

NYCougz

I could be wrong, but I don't think anybody thought we could afford to do that.

Coug

I’m brothers with all them …

NYCougz

5:50pm

Yep - losing games is lame.

NYCougz

5:46pm

We should have won the game but literally lost because of one of the luckiest

dallasbyu

5:46pm

That is not the play we lost on

Coug

5:47pm

Okay. What play did we lose on? We were winning at that point in the 4th quarter

dallasbyu

5:51pm

The fade pass was a much more impactful play than that stupid punt

Coug

5:58pm

I agree but we were winning when the pooch punt happened

dallasbyu

6:00pm

We had 13 points at home to a 3-6 team... Not exactly winning

Coug

Nope - we definitely lost. Now we need to beat asu.

BYU is not being disrespected. ND is overrated, yes, but BYU is where they belong. Don't lose to a bad Kansas team.

BlooGeek

5:46pm

Which of those losses ahead of us are just as bad?

JJCoug

5:45pm

every single kansas loss was by one score and IMO that’s the same as losing to NIU, Arkansas, vandy, georgia tech, etc.

FieroCoug

5:48pm

Perhaps, but timing of the loss also matters

Whose better N. Illinois or Kansas?

Crazy Joe Davola

100%. Lose to a 3-6 team at home in the 10th game of the year? We can't complain.
