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

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

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

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

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

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

maxpowers

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