I hope BYU never sets up LES to pipe/amplify crowd noise, no matter how legal or how advantageous it is. KEEP IT REAL!

BackPacker Intervention Needed

It's legal? That's crazy. That should definitely be against the rules.

BYU is +8000 (80:1 odds) to win the national championship. I kind of like that

Are the quarterfinal bowls tied to conference or seed?

Mister P

1:55pm

Conference. B1G = Rose, SEC = Sugar, ACC = Peach, XII = Fiesta.

CaliWG

1:58pm

What about a G6 team like Boise State?

Mister P

1:59pm

Probably Fiesta or Cotton given history

Pee Wee Reese

2:00pm

Cotton is a semi final

Mister P

2:01pm

BYU in the Fiesta Bowl would be lit (incredible).

Benfica1

2:00pm

The Sugar Bowl is a joint SEC and Big 12 bowl.

TCuz

It’s not tied to anything but supposed to keep in mind tradition. So B1G gets

how will we be ranked tonight? Still #9?

conetah

Probably won’t move.

JohnnyC

I heard we're going to move down due to "refereeing shenanigans against Utah"

BYUCougarsFan

1:53pm

BYU moves 1-2 spots, should be at 5 IMO. Not because of this one win, but

Cougar TD

1:58pm

Should be 7?

Viva Campeche

This is my guess. Sixth would be flabbergasting.

My guess is 7 – Miami and George move behind them.

Utah fans are officially going all in on the injury bug excuses.

Of course. What else do they have at this point in time? Just sympathize with

GideonsTrumpet

Luckily they were super empathetic to BYU during seasons of excess injuries

JackStack

Ugh, no doubt. So many years BYU was beaten up by the utah game.

Indiana played a weaker team (same # of losses) at home and squeaked out a W.

Are they pumping in noise, or amplifying existing noise to make it louder?

StantonMac

1:53pm

Amplifying, I think, as they have mics in front of the fans all around the stadium

Littlerich

1:54pm

Does this noise occur during the play, or is it shut off right before the snap?

JackStack

1:55pm

This should be the issue beside just being tools. If it's artificially produced, it would have to be silenced during

Hopefully, SEC teams gets bounced early from the CFPs. Until that happens...

Looking at the AP rankings, it's very concerning that there's three 2-loss SEC

Seems like it. Field goals, punting, coverage, returns.

Archaea

Could be. 96 and 80 would also be in the conversation.

The only missing element is a Matt Payne blowing people up.

Huge Manatee

ChiCityCoug

On squib kicks playing prevent kick coverage? I highly doubt that.

On a kick everyone can be a blocker and therefore you match up 1:1 with
