guys, calling out AP voters for not ranking BYU or ranking BYU too low is poor form

JOPE Resident Golf Fanatic

Yup, if we win this will all sort out well for us. We control our destiny.

So can Rising get a(nother?) medical redshirt and come back for year 8?

byujdmba

12:56pm

Year 8 would be nuts. I think he either moves on to the highest bidder or hangs

WhirleyPop

12:58pm

There's not a chance Whitt will take him back for another year. They need to

VACOUGFAN

Assuming Whitt comes back either

tacallaway

There is a TE at Miami in his 9th year. Hope he’s working on a phd.

Hyrum in Houston

UNLV Might want him

Dr MoBYU

Yes he technically can

He could come back next year without the redshirt.

Really? Why is Notre Dame overranked every year if the past doesn't matter?

byujacob

You are comparing two different things. Brand reputations is different than a single single game result from last year.

Their analysis is wrong if Arraez doesn't play (bat).

A couple of reps with the ones could help the backup.
