“Speaking of the CFP, in Brad Crawford's latest projected field, there's a new favorite for Big 12 champion ... and the No. 4 seed.

Crawford: "For the first time, BYU is the projected Big 12 champion after making an emphatic statement at home against previously unbeaten Kansas State. Over a six-minute stretch of game time ... the Cougars turned a 6-point deficit into a 25-point lead. ... The Big 12 is wide open and we've had a fun time spotlighting different teams in this slot through the last few weeks — Iowa State, Utah and Kansas State most recently. Long way to go out there."

Do I think this is realistic - probably not- but cool too see some respect for BYU
