Wow - BYU getting some love

ABCoug

1:11am

And why wouldn't we? If it's not us, it's KState (Iowa St looked pretty mediocre vs Houston.)

SinkingQuffa

1:30am

Arizona looked good. Utah is going to be very tough

davidmj10

8:16am

UCF? They looked like poo yesterday

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

8:21am

Yes they looked bad yesterday. Have you watched their other games?

davidmj10

8:35am

Was a bit shocked by that beatdown, but perhaps we learned from that game — more than anything — that Baylor AND CU

SinkingQuffa

8:46am

And as of right now: UA was KILLED by KState. So maybe you should get comfortable w the fact our FB team

As was Oklahoma St, meanwhile SMU crushes FSU

ABCoug

Translative wins are not wins. I’m very optimistic. This team has exceeded

I think the point is the P5 / Pac card played in past years is no longer valid

ABCoug

8:52am

BYU has the hardest schedule in the big12 this year in my opinion.

davidmj10

9:38am

You think we are winning at Utah?? It's going to take a great game to beat UA.

Cnation

10:25am

Ya AZ QB, #4 receiver, and #1 DB especially looked good. One thing that I

ISU’s schedule is CAKE! I can see them making it to CCG because they have a

BYU makes 4/13 lists. Utah 2/13.

That's some delicious rat poison

Post of the day if I hadn’t already used it

KYU

9:40am

To be fair, I would not put BYU on that list.

Soupie

Making the playoff will be far easier than ever before

bythenumbers

lol. BYU isn’t going to the playoffs. This season has been a load of fun and

It's been a strange season for BYU and the conference...it certainly could

KayakCoug

1:47am

Yeah, we have as much of a chance as anyone in the conference

Jericho

I agree. Except BYU’s track record the last few years doesn’t give me a ton of

Do you not know the playoff goes to 12 and the winner of the Big12

cougsareforreal

6:41am

Oh my. We have won a couple of nice games but you all are crazy if you think BYU

Ozymandias

10:23am

You do realize we went 5-0 against PAC recently with other P5 wins - sure

ABCoug

10:27am

It is a monster jump, particularly because the expectation for this team was so

Ozymandias

10:42am

To be fair, it looks like most of the Big12 is flawed.

Eddie

11:56am

You willing to make any burrito-based bets on that?

OldFogey

6:58am

Uh, no. Are you?

Ozymandias

10:23am

Uh no. But sure is fun to enjoy the ride!

5150man

2:00am

Arizona’s QB is the real deal. Don’t rule them out

ovalY

2:09am

Honestly, my opinion of AZ went up more than that of Utah went down.

Madam Pattirini

6:02am

AZ is undefeated in conference play. The game with KState was considered non-conference.

PJMort

7:00am

Sure. It's still one of few data points.

Madam Pattirini

8:20am

Interestingly Retzlaff has more yards, TDs, wins, and higher QBR

runnincoug

7:12am

This is gonna make people mad

boctabulous

8:37am

Retz may be the best qb in the conference. At least this far.

Let's make it happen for this 1 (99+1)...better than a 5 layer burrito bet 😉

We're in an autobid conference and we're 5-0...you think there's 0% chance???

MaximusMeridius

8:38am

There’s no such thing as an auto bid conference

RealTaysomHill

10:26am

Pretty sure all P4 conference champs and the highest ranked G5 CC are all locks.

Oscar Bluth

12:30pm

If you're being literal sure, but in practice the P4 conferences are auto bids

MaximusMeridius

12:47pm

I will go to church 1 week if we make the playoffs

boctabulous

8:38am

Careful—that’s quite a commitment.

Brisco

9:19am

5 weeks ago you would have said the exact same thing about 5-0.

Florwood

9:19am

But what will you do with a burrito?

Great38

9:37am

Can’t wait to get you, the new convert in Manhattan Ks and the Richard Geer of Burritos together after the season.

KYU

9:38am

I’ll buy you a Beefy 5-Layer Burrito.

Tesla Coug

We don't currently have the offense to win the conference...but it can improve.
