I’d go to SeatGeek and look to see the cheapest price and then price it below that just to unload.

I’d also list them on StubHub and Ticketmaster.

Problem is, the committee is setting the precedent going forward to screw anyone

CObluezone

Yep. Now is the time to head it off or it will become the accepted pattern & process.

Soupie

The committee is way more involved in setting the narrative than in basketball…

kotacoug

7:46am

BYU has the #12 resume. Tied 1st in a p4 league beat #1 ACC team OOC on the road

Mr. Scoobs

7:22am

Your last sentence is 100% spot on and infuriating

Idacoug

7:25am

It’s a deliberate effort to diminish the B12 & ACC but especially B12.

Maybe the "Back to the MWC" crowd was right all along

WorfoSAUR

This will change. BYU will keep winning more than its share

If we go MWC and make it to the playoff we get utterly embarrassed on the field.

8 conf games, 7-8 home games, never leave your region, inflate preseason ranks so no loss is a bad loss = SEC formula.

BYU's NET ranking dropped from #48 to #69- that's not even a bubble team

nova_coug_fan

Never dropped below #12 last yr. Yet so many thought we’d be so much better

For a commissioner who seemed to have started out strong, he's been pretty absent. Not advocating for the conf at all

Likely positioning himself for a bigger job sadly. Doesn't want to make waves.

What tv ratings? That helps right there.

Here

BYUFam1

And less $ at stake, so less corruption

Crazy Joe Davola

I suppose but some glaring differences

BYUFam1

More like the "Secbig football invitational"

BYUFam1

I knew this was coming and tried to warn everyone. B12 doesn’t gain us much

I think it was the timing of our loses more than anything.

College football playoff rules were meant to be fluid. Who knows what it will be

Cosmo Kramer

Is there really a P4? P5 was a thing because there were autobids. Those are no more. There's certainly sentiment of P2

I don’t get why BYU and the Big XII are held to a higher standard.

LOL no you sound like a whiner

CasualFan

6:43am

You're right. All I want is for every team to be held to the same standards. There are like 8 teams in front of us
