📌 Rivals in Football, but Teammates in Giving: BYU and Utah Unite Against Hunger!

Its clear that margin of victory matters based on how they speculate

No way BYU should be below 7. If Utah was undefeated Utah would be in the

Bias is real. I saw most on here having BYU 6-8. 9 is bad.

It’s clear the committee has zero respect for the Big12

I had to step out before the top rankings. Where did Utah end up?

5:27pm

This ranking was the worst case scenario for utah leading up to Saturday.

LaVellIfIKnow

5:27pm

Oh don't worry, it's first week SEC on top no biggie just win. <- Smoke screen.

xgbs

5:27pm

Man, this voiceover guy sounds like he's aged 20 years in the past year.

flyonawall

5:27pm

The committee doesn’t do anything. They look at polls and copy their homework

Beggar

5:27pm

POLL: Who/what influences the Allstate CFP ranking brought to you by ESPN?

kcca

5:27pm

I think BYU is being disrespected because too many of the players are insured

Nikomedes

5:28pm

If you lose your CC game but still get in. Thats a lot of extra games you have

Magneto

5:27pm

Only problem with the low ranking is we can't afford to lose even 1

Moab Rising

5:26pm

the minute iowa state lost the chances of the big 12 getting 2 in went out the

franklyvulgar

5:27pm

At least there's a backup plan - win the conference championship.

CalGTR

5:27pm

it’s ridiculous that some teams ONLY have that option while some teams could lose 3 and finish 4th and make it

FieroCoug

5:28pm

This is why it matters where you are when you start. Same with the

nephicoug

5:28pm

Compare the strength of schedule and wins over top 20 as a graphic ESPN!! Do it!

BostonCougar

5:26pm

"If I'm BYU, this is remarkably frustrating" - At least this is being recognized

Brandoblueblood

5:26pm

Greg McElroy

LakeshowCougs

5:27pm

Best thing for BYU right now is to continue to feel disrespected...in any way

Preppy All-American

5:26pm

RE: Best thing for BYU right now is to continue to feel disrespected...in any

NOCAL_YFAN

5:27pm

One thing BYU can be very proud of. Ranked ahead of Notre Dame

TNT

5:26pm

Kalani has more disrespect locker room material. Love it

Coug Texan

5:26pm

exactly, keep the disrespect coming as long as possible

DrBYU

5:27pm

Greg McElroy will forever be a Cougar fan favorite. That's all it takes!

Tricky

5:26pm

Greg is awesome. Best College Football podcast out there

LakeshowCougs

5:28pm

This committee will not let a 1 loss BYU team in the playoffs. Mark it down.BIAS

Idacoug

5:26pm

They will if a one loss BYU team wins the Big12.

Flippy

5:26pm

That's silly. 12-1 with a CCG loss and we're in

Huge Manatee

5:26pm

With common sense you're correct, but the bias is too deep.

Archaea

5:28pm

They literally will have to, but we wont be the 4 seed, wed be 12 seed

BYUFootballisBack

5:27pm

So blowing out crappy teams is better than having 2 top 25 wins. Got it CFP.

dallasbyu

5:26pm

Bring on the disrespect! Best motivation besides your butt on the bench!

FT487

5:26pm

The great thing about this system is that BYU can get a top 4 seed just by winning the conference no matter ranking.

Byron McNertney Solid 6 (8 if you're drunk)

5:26pm

Unless we lose a game, Boise will pass us with a loss

BYUFootballisBack

5:26pm

there is nothing great about getting shafted like this.

HarlemCoug

5:26pm

Not true. See Boise St.

CascadeBYUFan

5:27pm

“Just win” but some losses are better than your wins

Littlerich All-American

5:25pm

Don’t mind these teams ahead of you didn’t “just win”. Clowns

Corn

5:27pm

The team's fed off disrespect this year. 4 to 5 games left. Win and will move up

Moab Rising

5:25pm

They screwed Army bad. They can win out and have no chance of getting in still.

Magneto

5:25pm

well, they would have to beat Notre Dame, so they would move up significantly if they did that

JOPE

5:26pm

The game against ND is a playoff game for them. They have to win.

BostonCougar

5:27pm

Thank goodness BYU is in the Big 12

BYUBandfan

5:27pm

13-0 or 12-1 and we're in the CFP. That's the goal

Huge Manatee

5:25pm

Getting in at 12-1 would depend heavily on the when/who/how of the loss…

ataylor

5:28pm

I think you’re nuts if you’re angry about the first CFP bracket.

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

5:25pm

I am not angry, I just find the double speak to be hilarious

Littlerich

5:26pm

I don't, I hope the players keep using this as fuel EACH WEEK

MrSandman

5:27pm

Greg McElroy for President! He makes sense.

flyonawall

5:25pm

SEC.... SEC... Blah blah blah

Cougar TD

5:25pm

Looks more like BIG10 bias than SEC.

ordinary tri guy

5:28pm

tOSU would be a tough game. I’d love to get Indiana or Tennessee

Magneto

5:25pm

Boise could beat them

BYUFootballisBack

westsidecoug

5:24pm

What did he say

macdizzle

5:25pm

Said BYU being only 3 spots above Boise St is ridiculous

NOCAL_YFAN

5:25pm

He championed BYU. Saying of the 12 teams BYU is the most disrespected

TNT

5:27pm

Said it’s ridiculous where BYU is ranked

ZuluBlue

5:27pm

Went on and on about the disrespect the committee was showing BYU.

westsidecoug

5:27pm

Boise can’t possibly pass BYU right?

CycloneCoug

5:24pm

If we lose 1 time, they jump us

BYUFootballisBack

5:25pm

Then 1 loss BYU with 2 wins over top 25 would be below 1 loss Boise with 0

CycloneCoug

5:26pm

They lost to the #1 team it just means more #QualityLosses better than wins

BYUFootballisBack

5:28pm

Not if we win out. If we lose in the regular season and win the Big12

BenTheBoss

5:25pm

Probably not, but Miami and IU and don’t have top 25 wins either.

Poseidon

5:26pm

But they have 1 really good loss. That's pretty good for the crowd on the hill.

If Boise is ahead of BYU and gets I BYE I will lose it

Our lack of quality losses is killing us.

Keep showing us the disrespect. Keep ranking us low. 👏

Magneto

5:23pm

At least McElroy got BYU highlights showing

TNT

5:23pm

Byu and Kalani need to twist the knife at end of games more often instead

Idacoug

5:23pm

He won't do that. BYU just has to win out

TNT

5:24pm

FUEL FOR THE W!!! Time to roll against Utah...keep this going

MrSandman

5:23pm

The bias is real. The only way to change perception is to win. Just win.

Mr. Rumsfield

5:23pm

I love it... This team seems to thrive off the disrespect

Coug

Preach Greg!

Bigcouggy2

Top 13 to 3 matches AP rankings. Had to swap Ohio State and Georgia make it seem like they did any work on this.

JB2JH All-American

5:23pm

I like Greg McElroy

HimmerFredette

5:23pm

Do what does that mean at #9? Even if we win the big12 we’d be the 9 seed?

Chefcurry

5:23pm

#4 seed unless Boise gets ahead of us

BYUFootballisBack

5:24pm

Greg McElroy is our spokesman!

ElkhunterUT

5:23pm

He called our Tennessee game - he has seen what we can do.

NOCAL_YFAN

Undefeated. A top five strength of schedule. #9. That’s crazy math😬

Squirt

They did this same thing in 2020.

I appreciate the BYU love from the ESPN panel. But seriously. JUST WIN.

These clowns still look at BYU as a G5

If you go back to SEC country, it’s how everyone views the Big12 too.

That's how the SEC views everyone.

Remind me how media value is "Literally not a factor."

AltTabbins I got UtahFootballGM banned.

Samsonite Intervention Needed

yup! Good for them

Just McElroy

RE: Just McElroy

Methusaleh22

Thats how each team was discussed after the rankings were released

MaximusMeridius

Yep. They were pretty much rolling their eyes

TNT

*ESPN guy

flyonawall

5:23pm

Yeah, Booger is an idiot.

The Pope

5:24pm

Just one. The other three clearly don’t care for BYU.

Flippy

5:25pm

So from 13 up they copied AP except for tOSU and Georgia

BYUFam1

5:22pm

Everyone saying the final scores don’t matter as long as we win were just proven wrong. “Style” points matter. Lame

bag All-American

5:22pm

Indiana has shown that style points are valuable. Or starting ranked (Miami).

Benfica1

5:22pm

BYU vs Ohio St would be a repeat of the 1974 Fiesta Bowl

Coug Texan

5:22pm

Go McElroy!!

flyonawall

5:22pm

NIU is the greatest football team of all time.

ProvoY

There are exactly two undefeated teams with a win over a top 14 team

OSU at #2 and seeded #5

RexIdaCoug

I wish BYU were 6, but hey, seeding higher than Alabama, Texas and Ohio State?

My faith in the selection committee was proven false.

Boise can still lose another game and will get in over Army

Not if Army beats Notre Dame...

Not happening

chitownboy

Why is Miami 4 and BYU 9? It makes no sense
