BYU isn't an OSU and losing a game means BYU slides further back than the rest of the P4 teams.
Other teams can bounce back, but once BYU slides 7 points down with only 2 games left, then it makes it more difficult for BYU.
BYU had everything in it's hand and controlled it's own destiny.
Now, BYU needs "other" teams to lose. BYU won't get a bye in the first round. BYU HAS to win the B12 championship, PERIOD.
Which means, BYU needs to win the rest if the games. It's that simple.
Question I would ask anyone: Why remove your ability to control your own destiny 🤔?
