What a shocker. Final score matters. This is Kalani's biggest weakness.

If we beat ASU, and CO loses to KU, then what happens?

I really hope we and SMU win the conference championship games.

libertycoug

I am so sick of seeing that BYU lost to a 3-6 team. All week long the media was

dallasbyu

5:34pm

It was a really bad loss.

a priori

5:35pm

If Kansas knocks off CU, it would help that narrative gain some steam for sure.

westsidecoug

5:35pm

…that the Big 12 is waaaay behind the other power conferences.

Kdubb

5:36pm

Bad home loss. Kansas may have been the best 3-6 team in the country but they

rivercitycoug

5:36pm

They were in fact a 3-6 team. It was a bad loss especially at home.

WillsPitStop

A 3-6 team is what it is. You don't lose six games because you're good. Sure,

You can't lose to a 3-6 team and expect to be treated fairly in the polls... This is the consequence of being complacent

Exactly

Everyone on the committee watched the game. You just aren't going to get much

NOCAL_YFAN

I can't stand the committee approach. Less transparency and consistency than the

a priori

Committee really punished us for the KU loss, let's see if they really reward us

NOCAL_YFAN

5:33pm

Yes, we should be happy that ASU is ranked

SV72 Sale

5:35pm

I guarantee you if we beat Arizona state then Houston at home

CycloneCoug

I think a win against a freshly ranked ASU team on the road will jump us above

Sufficeth to say this game this weekend is huge for us.

The 5 seed continues to be the best seed of all

creameryon9th

5:32pm

OK, so does the Big 12 get a guaranteed spot if Boise takes the 4 seed?

WJCougar

5:29pm

Champ guaranteed a spot, just not a first round bye.

hebercreeper

5:30pm

Thanks. For some reason I was thinking Boise knocks Big 12 out.

WJCougar

5:31pm

Nope they’re not. It’s the 5 highest ranked conf champs.

CycloneCoug

5:32pm

So now we want ND to beat Army.

WJCougar

5:34pm

Pretty simple. We will either be a 3 seed or we are out.

I would say less than 50% chance we make it in that scenario. Way too much bias

I don’t. I think they really want the SEC and Big10 to dominate. I don’t see

ChiCityCoug

I think there is a decent chance we would be in. Not guaranteed, but decent

Ask FSU how being included went last year.

ChiCityCoug

5:32pm

Different setup. Also why I said not guaranteed. I think there is a chance

westsidecoug

Not necessarily. SMU and Miami are both ahead of us. Assume they both win out, then the winner of the ACC will be ahead

RealTaysomHill

Saturday can't get here quick enough

BYUFootballisBack

yep. and were below the SEC teams with multiple losses to teams just as bad cause every SEC loss is a good loss

FieroCoug

5:27pm

Can we apply an exemption to dumb coaching decisions to any BYU loss or close

thewaterboy

5:33pm

Because we just lost a home game to a 3-6 team

HRCougar

5:26pm

They lost to a one-loss team. We lost to a six-loss team.

All-American

5:27pm

They lost in September. We lost last week it's that simple

crimedog

5:27pm

They haven't looked like Warren Jensen the last 2 games.

foofcoug

They lost to a better team earlier in the season.

russkiejedi

Head to head is an important metric, but hardly the only one. We all know this, right?

CalGTR

Quality loss versus a loss to a 4-6 team

Coug

Joey, just let Las Vegas decide the 12-team bracket then. Good grief he’s stupid

rainorsnow

5:24pm

I really don't feel slighted. Who ranked above us would you feel confident

BYU71

5:23pm

Yep

BYUFootballisBack

yep. just win. if you lose to 3-6 Kansas at home, you can't complain.

maxpowers

5:26pm

This is bad. Bias reigns in the rankings.

thewaterboy

Losses in September/October are easier to forget than losses in November.

There is no reason to wring our hands in disrespect. Everything is right there

Schrodizzy

If BYU wins out and loses a close game in the CCG, I could see them sneaking in.

BYU has played best us "underdog" or as "disrespected". So, BYU, get fired up to punch AZ st in the mouth. Earn it

Really doesn't matter, we win out and we will have wins over #21 ASU, and then

BYUFootballisBack

It’s awesome that if we win out, the loss to Kansas would not have affected

allaboutthegainz

Yes. The loss to Kansas merely wiped out our margin for error. Most likely have to win out, including CCG, to get in.

BYUFootballisBack

Boise has a legit argument. They lost to #1 by 3 pts in overtime in an away game.

True, except it wasn't in overtime.
