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

The best thing for BYU Football is to continue to be disrespected! Boys play

This is who each team above us in the ranking plays against. See any losses??

Indiana and Georgia maybe.

so the expanded playoffs is just a way to get more SEC and Big10 teams in.. gee

Feels like we're back to the MWC days.

I hope BYU feels just as disrespected as all of us do and they take it out on UU

I guess I gotta root against BSU and Army now…

arcawley

5:38pm

So many said rankings didn’t matter. Clearly they did. BYU hit screwed.

SBB

It was more that there was no reason to be upset until we saw how the committee

BEAT UTAH!!!

BYUBandfan

5:38pm

Alabama should be out. BSU and SMU should both move up a spot

Jwine21

Team should be pissed. Nobody respects us.

Samsonite Intervention Needed

Feels like 2020 all over again where you just new the committee was going to

Mr. Rumsfield

5:37pm

FPI has kept us down all year and it's partly based on recruiting rankings. Dumb

dYrtbYkerYder

5:38pm

BYU still disrespected, but in the P4 club, so I would bet that BYU could lose

NOCAL_YFAN

5:39pm

Who WOULDN'T beat their opponents by double digits if your SOS is 101st??

nephicoug

For years the argument against smaller conference BYU was who did you play and

How you win outweighs resume

RockyBalboa

Looks like a really important factor

Incentivize

Or lose, as the case may be.

MarylandFan

5:38pm

Kalani...RUN! UP! THE! SCORE!!!!

Coug

5:38pm

Pretty sure he would rather lose than be accused of running up the score

fredgarvin

5:40pm

#9 is 'disappointing', but teams in front of BYU will get losses

Benfica1

5:37pm

Looks like they’ll put them above byu as a result

BYU '80

5:38pm

Funny how top 10 ranking and likely playoff team is a “disappointment”

Reasonable1

5:39pm

If I’m a BYU bench player, I would not expect to see the field the rest of the season.

brj8 All-American

5:37pm

they've already proven their bias running up isn't going to help at this point.

franklyvulgar

5:37pm

Kalani won’t do it. It’s not happening.

allaboutthegainz

5:38pm

So the Michigan guy proves there is bias picking Indiana over BYU

WJCougar

5:37pm

He also pointed out that Indiana is winning by 33 ppg

TCuz Coastal Elite

Nah, people say biased.

Benfica1

5:38pm

Kalani - run up the score. You can’t let bsu pass you playing crappy teams

BYU '80

5:36pm

I was close, but I think everyone was close

1984coug

Difference between Kalani and Whitt. Kalani will not ruts against Utah but Whitt wouldn’t think twice about it

TADOW Truly Addicted User

5:36pm

It's like gymnastics now

Belboz

5:36pm

So Ohio State was judged on thier schedule, but BYU lost out to Indiana

Mister P

5:36pm

He gave him a cop out by letting him compare us to Indiana instead of Miami etc

BYUFootballisBack

5:36pm

Miami is just slipping through the crack. Very overrated

VirginiaPeanut

5:37pm

I can guarantee the committee doesn’t stay up to watch BYU games. lol

VirginiaPeanut

5:36pm

I hate SOS arguments. There is ZERO anyone can do about SOS once season starts

flyonawall

5:35pm

It’s all a house of cards w/ team reputations propping up other team reputations. Based on nothing.

Soupie

5:36pm

That would be good if you were judging entry to heaven or something but not for

Incentivize

Well teams like Bsu plays one team better than 40 all year and nine

i think SOS is good when it’s comparing undefeated teams. but everything on ESPN is heavily

Compared to your expectations?? Whose expectations? And since when have those

No letting up from here on out, blow teams out if possible, playoff committee is

Wizbang

Lol... So the committee likes winning by more, regardless of SOS? So dumb

Cougar TD

Coach talk for we give bias to BIG

YoungstownCoug

5:36pm

Agree so how does army compare in point diff and sos

Pobs

5:37pm

Time to make efforts to RUTS. They just said HOW people have won made a difference

Preppy All-American

5:35pm

This man says a lot without saying anything. The Kamalafication of society

whoneedscorners?

5:35pm

So averaging more against a weak SOS is worth more?

Brandoblueblood

5:35pm

Seriously the dumbest comment... So wish they would call them out on that

Cougar TD

5:36pm

Only if you are in the BIG, they hated BYU with a harder SOS in 2020

BYUFootballisBack

5:36pm

Time to start running up the score Kalani. College basketball coaches have

byubyu

So beating crappy teams by double digits is better than beating good teams closely.

It’s a no brainer and Kalani hurts BYU rankings by going it

The committee chair is legit a previous B10 AD. Ofc they’ll bias the B10 😂

Byu is a loss away from having an away game first round. Even if we win the CC

Magneto

BYU is a loss away from playing in the Valero Alamo bowl, or the Pop Tarts bowl.

d-coug

5:31pm

I thought byu could lose one game and still go the CC win that and we're in.

franklyvulgar

5:32pm

We would get in still but we’d lose our first round bye with a loss.

Magneto

5:33pm

so winning the big 12 doesn't get you 4? I C

Not if Boise wins and is ranked ahead

cougaman

5:34pm

weird, I thought the power conferences matter more.. huh..

franklyvulgar

5:35pm

It’s just top 4 ranked conference winners

cougaman

5:36pm

No way that happens!

BYUHgrad

5:37pm

That bsu wins the rest of their games?

cougaman

5:40pm

Top 4 conference champs are 1-4 seeds. We’d be passed by MWC (Boise)

TheWanderer

5:35pm

I would still be happy. We were picked 13th with no bowl expected.

SCougarfan

5:35pm

Huh?? You’re saying if BYU loses, but wins the CCG, BSU will be ahead of BYU?!?!

BYUHgrad

Not that I believed Drake Toll before, but this confirms it.

Indiana vs Michigan is going to be intriguing

MaximusMeridius

Michigan can’t score.

rivercitycoug

Not really. Michigan isn’t very good and has QB issues. Indiana should roll

TADOW

MaximusMeridius

Ohio State will be their litmus test. But they've shown zero sign of flagging

russkiejedi

Yeah that Ohio St / Indiana game is going to get a ton of attention

MaximusMeridius

Galloway is an idiot saying McElroy is getting too worked up for defending BYU.

As long as BYU wins the Big12, none of this matters

SausageKing

Way easier said than done

It matters from a perception perspective…or a higher seed…

arcawley

It does. The committee basically said a 12-1 BSU would get the four seed over a

rainorsnow

5:30pm

With 1 loss and a win at the CCG, I bet Boise still gets in ahead of us.

AltTabbins

5:31pm

It matters for all members of all Big 12 going forward. This pigeon holes us

Kalani and co. need to look at this and run it up if they can

Literally just said Indiana is above us because of it

just win and you get a top 4 SEED, not ranking

MaximusMeridius

5:31pm

What's your realistic projection for what the chair will say as to why BYU is #9

HRCougar

5:29pm

The need to get 3 to 4 SEC and B10 teams in is ridiculous

Coug

5:30pm

You can always make up whatever you want to justify it when needed.
