It seems to me, BYU gets a 4 seed if they win out including the BIG12 championship game

What’s annoying is if Utah had our record with the same schedule they’d be 4 or 5.

I'm OK with not running up the score. Just win. It's good for the backups to get

The unspoken word: BIG XII and ACC are relegated to G8 status now.

Imagine if I told you in June that we'd be mad about being 9th in the CFP

Committee confirms once again that on-the-field results or lack of them don’t really matter.

Boise is about 6 spots too high

Their SOS is a couple slots better than BYU though, so they have an argument

how? just based on oregon?

Yes ma'am!

Did KSU losing on Saturday affect BYUs ranking tonight?

It shouldn't have. We beat SMU who blew the doors off of Pitt

6 teams ahead of BYU are NOT on this list:

It's not only BYU being disrespected, it's the whole Big12. The ACC is so weak

You guys are upset. TNT is just happy BYU is ahead of Notre Liars

TNT

What would an undefeated Utah team be ranked in the CFP??

Magneto

3, maybe 2.

Jelly Man

Mcelroy said BYU may not get in with one loss.

Wizbang

5:46pm

They won't. They don't respect the Big 12 this year

TNT

5:47pm

With that ranking, he’s right

coug719

5:47pm

That's why I'm so bugged by this. We all know it's coming

Cougar TD

5:47pm

It’s been engineered that way with BYU at 9

ataylor

5:47pm

We would get in if we win the big 12, and I still think there’s a chance we get in if our only loss isin the big 12

JOPE

5:48pm

Not sure I agree. The committee has made it clear they'll screw us

puntersarepeople

5:49pm

Only a chance with a loss in the CCG?

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

5:50pm

He’s right. Big 12 getting zero respect.

rainorsnow

5:48pm

It would depend.on what happens to other teams

Belboz

5:50pm

We need a bunch of bubble SEC teams to lose BAD

Bigcouggy2

5:46pm

Indiana losing a couple of games would help too

Belboz

Gotta keep winning, the committee wont be able to rank 2 loss teams ahead of us

BYUFootballisBack

5:46pm

The committee:

DiamondMo

Dunno, quality losses sure seem to count for a lot. If a team has two it might

Playoff predictor isn’t right. Indiana has 87% chance to make CFP, BUT drops

VirginiaPeanut

And Joey is an idiot.

It's all based on FPI, which is terrible.

2020 - opponents matter, 2024 - opponents don't matter, margin of victory does.

I'm happy that they ranked BYU ahead of Notre Dame. Indiana now gets MI & tOSU,

Benfica1

The most a team has dropped in the rankings after losing a CCG? 4 spots

Huge Manatee

5:43pm

If BYU wins 4 of its next 5 games it is probably in.

All-American

5:44pm

12-1 and we are in

Huge Manatee

5:44pm

If we win the CCG. I don't see it otherwise. I think the rankings today proved..

Team Chaos

5:45pm

Nah, that's silly to penalize a team for playing in the CCG

Huge Manatee

5:45pm

It's silly, but it's reality.

Team Chaos

5:46pm

It's not, though. There is no precedent for a team dropping that far in the

Huge Manatee

5:47pm

I'm imagining a scenario where Boise State wins out and we lose in the CCG. In..

Team Chaos

5:49pm

Boise State is already in - they aren't taking someone's spot

Huge Manatee

5:50pm

They already have. There's only one team from the Big 12 in right now.

Team Chaos

5:51pm

It’s silly to think this has anything to do with objectivity.

DiamondMo

5:52pm

Unfortunately that’s the case.

acadian8

5:49pm

Yeah, don't get your hopes up for them sticking with that standard for BYU

Disco Lemonade

5:44pm

It's tough to explain how a team sitting at home should jump a team playing for

Huge Manatee

5:45pm

But that's the reality when you're up against the SEC and B1G.

Team Chaos

5:46pm

12 wins > 11 wins

Huge Manatee

5:46pm

That would matter if you or I were on the committee. Not as presently constitute

Team Chaos

5:47pm

That scenario isn't supported by history

Huge Manatee

5:48pm

There is no history. This is the first year of a 12-team playoff. You're making

There is history of the CFP rankings

Huge Manatee

That's not even close to the same thing. Those rankings only mattered to the...

Team Chaos

Rankings are ALWAYS about recency bias. A loss last week is like 2 losses early.

It really is. This is why teams used to hate us too.

Haysom Till

It's going to be tough for them to move up too much

Huge Manatee

5:49pm

I never followed Roger Reid's tenure too closely at BYU but the whole thing

BigHouse Coug

5:42pm

Great coach, horrible communicator. Great with Xs and Os, really bad with people

byubyu

5:45pm

That makes sense.

BigHouse Coug

5:46pm

Reid's sons were both great players for BYU (and Robbie did well at MI).

Benfica1

5:47pm

The Reid brothers were good players. The younger one played at Michigan as well

BYUBandfan

5:48pm

and yes, they recruited football players to play on the team

BYUBandfan

5:50pm

Randy and Robbie Reid were high level recruits

Belboz

5:49pm

They were, not sure where the controversy from that comes from though.

BigHouse Coug

5:52pm

most hardcore fans seemed very dumb about it I heard so many Reid boy complaints

So for us to get in we essentially have to go undefeated in regular season.

gmoney7 All-American

5:41pm

RUTS obviously matters, and quite a lot apparently after the chair talked about

Team Chaos

5:42pm

We can probably drop one game and still make the CCG. The main thing is make the CCG and win.

CalGTR

5:47pm

If we can get to the CCG undefeated, we MIGHT have a chance at the playoffs with a loss in the CCG.

CalGTR

5:48pm

I know that, not what I’m talking about. We have zero margin of error

gmoney7

5:50pm

The best thing for BYU Football is to continue to be disrespected! Boys play

Cougar4life123

5:39pm

This is who each team above us in the ranking plays against. See any losses??

MaximusMeridius

5:39pm

Indiana and Georgia maybe. Miami will lose sometime too.

pinolero

5:40pm

Miami only plays Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, and Syracuse

MaximusMeridius

5:46pm

Indiana will lose to either or both Mich & tOSU

wildwilderness

5:43pm

so the expanded playoffs is just a way to get more SEC and Big10 teams in.. gee

franklyvulgar

Exactly, why else do you think they voted for it?

Are you just now realizing this?

Pretty lucky that we get a top four seed for being a conference winner even when

Undefeated

And 1 loss from being out of the playoff completely.

MarylandFan

Possibly. Quite a few factors

Undefeated

BSU will get the four seed if BYU isn’t undefeated. Big 12 champ won’t overseat

We needed KState and Iowa St to win.

Coug

I disagree. The committee isn't taking two Big12 teams, even if they were

Manti

Sure they would. The Baylor AD sits on the committee. 1 of 13 spots.

I guess I gotta root against BSU and Army now…

arcawley

It was more that there was no reason to be upset until we saw how the committee

Alabama should be out. BSU and SMU should both move up a spot

Team should be pissed. Nobody respects us.

Samsonite Intervention Needed

Feels like 2020 all over again where you just new the committee was going to

Mr. Rumsfield

5:37pm

FPI has kept us down all year and it's partly based on recruiting rankings. Dumb

dYrtbYkerYder

5:38pm

BYU still disrespected, but in the P4 club, so I would bet that BYU could lose

NOCAL_YFAN

5:39pm

Who WOULDN'T beat their opponents by double digits if your SOS is 101st??

nephicoug

For years the argument against smaller conference BYU was who did you play and

Methusaleh22

5:37pm

How you win outweighs resume

RockyBalboa

5:37pm

Looks like a really important factor

Incentivize

5:38pm

Or lose, as the case may be.

MarylandFan

5:38pm

Kalani...RUN! UP! THE! SCORE!!!!

Coug

5:38pm

Pretty sure he would rather lose than be accused of running up the score

fredgarvin

5:40pm

If how you win includes what conference you are in, then I agree.

bluesloth

5:43pm

Except when it doesn’t benefit BYU like in 2020. BYU always getting the shaft.

Mr. Scoobs

5:47pm

#9 is 'disappointing', but teams in front of BYU will get losses

Benfica1

5:37pm

Looks like they’ll put them above byu as a result

BYU '80

5:38pm

Funny how top 10 ranking and likely playoff team is a “disappointment”

Reasonable1

5:39pm

Yeah, but this shows us that a valuable loss is better than a valuable win.

Viva Campeche

5:43pm

If I’m a BYU bench player, I would not expect to see the field the rest of the season.

brj8 All-American

5:37pm

they've already proven their bias running up isn't going to help at this point.

franklyvulgar

5:37pm

Kalani won’t do it. It’s not happening.

allaboutthegainz

5:38pm

Good, let's injure the starters so we can win by 35 instead of 28.

All-American

5:46pm

So the Michigan guy proves there is bias picking Indiana over BYU

WJCougar

He also pointed out that Indiana is winning by 33 ppg

It's like gymnastics now

Belboz

So Ohio State was judged on thier schedule, but BYU lost out to Indiana

Mister P

He gave him a cop out by letting him compare us to Indiana instead of Miami etc

BYUFootballisBack

Miami is just slipping through the crack. Very overrated

VirginiaPeanut

I want SMU to destroy them soooo bad.

Oompabluepaw

I can guarantee the committee doesn’t stay up to watch BYU games. lol

VirginiaPeanut

5:36pm

I hate SOS arguments. There is ZERO anyone can do about SOS once season starts

flyonawall

5:35pm

It’s all a house of cards w/ team reputations propping up other team reputations. Based on nothing.

Soupie

5:36pm

That would be good if you were judging entry to heaven or something but not for

Incentivize

5:37pm

Well teams like Bsu plays one team better than 40 all year and nine

Compared to your expectations?? Whose expectations? And since when have those

No letting up from here on out, blow teams out if possible, playoff committee is

Preppy All-American

5:35pm

This man says a lot without saying anything. The Kamalafication of society

whoneedscorners?

5:35pm

So averaging more against a weak SOS is worth more?

Brandoblueblood

5:35pm

Seriously the dumbest comment... So wish they would call them out on that

Cougar TD

5:36pm

Only if you are in the BIG, they hated BYU with a harder SOS in 2020

BYUFootballisBack

5:36pm

Time to start running up the score Kalani. College basketball coaches have

So beating crappy teams by double digits is better than beating good teams closely.

Or not close (KSU).

The spokesperson opens his mouth and says nothing.
