Alamo vs Pop Tarts Bowls

arizonacougarfan

7:47am

Payout doesn’t matter. It all goes to the conference anyway right?

cougaman

7:48am

One is crazy good; the other unforgettable

bruincoug

7:49am

vs Clemson in Orlando or vs the Buffs in Texas are the most likely opponents

BYUMizzou

BYU vs CU in the Alamo bowl?

I don't understand why people don't want this.

More history, more recognizable bowl as well.

POLL: How would you Rate A-Rod's performance as BYU's OC?

MyTwoCents

7:33am

I can forgive almost everything except the fade.

brj8

7:45am

Jake's closest comp is Riley Nelson. Which is why he is so polarizing with fans.

maYbe

7:28am

He’s a better passer and a better runner imo

kotacoug

7:31am

Stronger arm as well. And taller

wisconsincougs

7:41am

Don't see the better runner part, he can get it downfield though

BeyondTheMark

7:46am

No way is he a better runner than Riley. Sorry. And not sure a better passer,

Iman23

7:48am

has a better arm, but I wouldn’t call him a better passer

JOPE

7:50am

They don't seem very similar to me. Not sure who a good comp is though.

thewaterboy

7:42am

Bad comp. Retzlaff has a great arm.

Malacis

7:47am

Unfortunately, new P4 and former independent BYU leading the B12 helped solidify

DirtyWater

7:25am

Hopefully ACC and big 12 champ can outperform expectations on the field.

Kdubb

7:27am

The ACC was in a position to get 3 teams in had Miami & Clemson won last week

CaliWG

7:27am

Umm probably the loss or Texas and Oklahoma would be the major reason.

kotacoug

7:32am

Agree. The Big 12 is the only conference without blue bloods.

Everyman

7:44am

Yup if Miami had BYU’s resume they’d be a 9 seed

CaliWG

7:48am

The most impressive non-P2 game this year was Boise almost beating Oregon

BYU Fan

7:35am

If the preseason ranked teams had performed like BYU, ASU and ISU

canuckchuck

7:37am

The people doing the projections need to be evaluated, ranked and judged.

DirtyWater

CFB Playoffs has just increased the number of complaining schools.

I would fine with some pre-figured construct

Big12 with only two teams in top 18 of first NET ratings.

BGRTHNUMEGO

7:11am

BYU only #48

nova_coug_fan

7:17am

Providence is 104. That could be a good road win. Just win baby.

brj8

7:18am

NET of our last three OOC opponents: 104, 255 and 244. Really needed that OSU

BGRTHNUMEGO

7:20am

you're missing the actual last nonconference opponent - #334 Florida A&M. One

cwilke1

7:42am

Lots of bad losses early on for the Big 12

BYU Fan

7:17am

18 is a weird cutoff? What about Top 20?

Dangerous

7:20am

Because 2 of the top 18 sounds worse than 4 of the top 20 (or 5 of the top 22).

jreid191

7:25am

Clearly Big12 is doing awesome. That totally changes it. Claiming two in top 18

BGRTHNUMEGO

7:28am

If your point is valid, you can make it without cherry picking stats

chilawcoug

Here's the full NET ratings from NCAA website

BYU's Team Sheet

jreid191

7:28am

And 5 Big 12 teams in the Top 22.

Dangerous

7:28am

22 is a weird cutoff.

BGRTHNUMEGO

7:41am

As natural as 18

chilawcoug

7:43am

our schedule makers sure did a pathetic job this season for the nonconference

cwilke1

7:45am

I want to be upset with rankings and SEC bias...but, BYU had full control of its own destiny, then crapped the bed.

Preppy All-American

7:05am

Not just full control, but a two-game lead. We could have lost one, and still had full control.

AZPTCOUG

Both of those things can be true

Remigius

Yup! Where was the killer instinct to just go take it!!

With the new playoff format every p4 team will always

cougarfann888

7:17am

We had full control and two game lead going into the second week of November. Very few teams had that.

2FarGone

7:21am

Technically every team had full control of their own destiny until they lost.

ochobeeguy

7:35am

No, I mean up 2 games in conference rankings with 3 games left.

Preppy

Bummer to be on the outside looking in again. We spent so many years in a small

If they were the same, we'd be in. They are worse.

Kind of surprised Demin is mentioned after his first 2 games against P4 teams

Incentivize

7:15am

It's a prognostication based on available data and logic that he'll adapt to

Covid-19

7:38am

He did seem off the last 2 games. Honestly thought he might be sick.

MD Rebel Coug

7:43am

Demin going in top 5 would also be a great model for young Euros to follow. And BYU would be a great place for them

I think the issue was NOT having the main tunnel...

Xenon

7:23am

My one issue with ARod is how plodding or conservative his offense is at times.

BYUMizzou Former User

6:46am

It's a valid point and obviously a conscious decision to play a slower style. I

Blueto

6:53am

Seems strategic- to shorten the game, likely to protect the Defense.

yahtzee

7:02am

Protect the defense, and limit Jake turnovers maybe.

JuicyJam

I don't know that those are coordinator issues. Overall coaching philosophy issue.

Huh? Play our starting QB in the bowl game.

Ron Mexico

Nah. Shedeur, Hunter and who knows who else will be sitting out / checked out

Cooouuugs

6:46am

Deion had explicitly said that Shedeur and Hunter are going to play.

NGB

6:48am

Fact

Ron Mexico

6:52am

Whatever Deion says goes? We’ll see. It’s rare for players of their caliber

Cooouuugs

7:09am

That's because Shedeur and Hunter don't want to risk injury cuz they're looking

Emmett Fitz-Hume

JoeExotic

Jdoc

7:41am

I disagree. It would be just as if not more interesting

JoeExotic

7:50am

Armstrong’s point is that MJ would have been coached out of midrange and would

Oscar Bluth

Yes, the shooting percentage on midrange shots isn’t high enough to justify the

Analytics may favor the style of play now. That doesn’t mean the NBA is more

Jdoc

6:48am

I think a lot of the number crunchers don’t actually understand statistics

Coop

doing what the analytics say doesn't make the game better. There is a lot more to it than just the shooting
