Let me save you from a total collapse on 11/24 - we won't be ranked top 10

AP and Coaches poll has zero correlation with the CFP Poll.

SlantRoute

11/15/20 9:47am

Zero correlation? How much are willing to put on that forecast?

DrBYU

11/15/20 9:54am

Perhaps i chose wrong words to use.

SlantRoute

11/15/20 9:57am

I wasn't going to go that far, but...

kiyoshige

11/15/20 9:56am

We could be 9-10 but that’ll be the best case.

Turnpike Lane

11/15/20 9:48am

Oregon has better wins? Winless Stanford and Wazzu?

BYU '80

11/15/20 9:49am

who are our better wins?

kiyoshige

11/15/20 9:55am

A blowout at Boise

ochobeeguy

11/15/20 9:56am

But Boise didn’t have their starting QB

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 10:01am

Doesn’t matter as long as Bsu keeps winning

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:02am

Sorry for not being more clear in my post..Stanford qb was out at Oregon

Charles Darwin

I think he's pointing to the idiocy of that statement because people don't apply

Houston on the road, perhaps any number of teams. Stanford hasn’t won a game and look pretty bad

BYU '80

11/15/20 9:57am

houston is ranked below both Stanford and Wash St in every ranking out there

BlueFrog

11/15/20 9:59am

Based on what? That shows how horrible ranking systems are

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:01am

well rankings are what we are talking about. because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't the way it is

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:02am

Ok then explain how a winless team is ranked ahead of UH? Stanford lost to Colorado

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:04am

houston has lost 3 games. stanford only 1. is this the first time you have ever looked at rankings?

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:06am

Stanford has lost two. And still haven’t won. So I would ask you that question

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:07am

Houston hasn't beaten anyone with a pulse. I'm not shocked that some winless P5's are ranked ahead of them

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:10am

Stanford doesn’t have a pulse

puntersarepeople

11/15/20 10:12am

So not beating anyone with or without a pulse is somehow better I suppose?

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:14am

hey i'm not the one doing the rankings. just cuz you think Houston should be ranked above Wazzu doesn't mean that

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:24am

This year the rankings are going to be pretty poor

puntersarepeople

11/15/20 10:25am

for sure. and with some teams with 8 wins and others with 2 right by each other in the rankings.

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:30am

Original post yes. Subsequent ones? No

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:32am

Technically we aren't "dropping". We will just start out around #12 IMO.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:44am

Since we have no idea what they are thinking, why don't we just wait for them to

You should pay closer attention to what happened when Nebraska tried to replace

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 9:49am

I know Nebraska. I've been to Nebraska. We are no Nebraska.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:10am

It seems you are not familiar with this story. BYU being Nebraska or not has

agreed. i'll even take top 15!

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:05am

Cinn playing BYU is like going for 2 after a TD in a close game

run26

11/15/20 9:52am

That game announced for the 28th would be the OPPOSITE of a CB collapse!

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:07am

Total collapse? Who are you even talking to?

Benfica1

11/15/20 9:54am

Those who think we will be top 10 in the CFP ranking. Be happy with top 15.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 9:56am

Depends how much wins count versus not playing

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:00am

Miami no will lose again. Indiana could lose three games. Oregon has beaten no one

BYU '80

11/15/20 9:58am

Miami?

bluecougar1985

11/15/20 9:56am

Blowout win over FSU, beat #18 Louisville, 5 other P5 wins, only loss to Clemson

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:00am

Louisville and FSU are horrible teams and they have lackluster wins over very mediocre competition

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:01am

Beat a 2-5 Louisville and a two win FSU. OK.

Benfica1

11/15/20 11:48am

had 13 players out for covid

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:01am

That makes sense. I don’t follow it that closely and

bluecougar1985

11/15/20 10:04am

they didn't play well yesterday. not playing up to their ranking lately

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:08am

Miami has looked bad in several games

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:04am

you haven't watched them in any other game

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:06am

I watched them eke out wins versus bad to mediocre Virginia and NC State

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:11am

no you didn't

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:16am

Yes i did. Youre on a roll. I watch the teams around byu

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:17am

looking at box scores or espn highlights isn't watching them

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:21am

I’ve watched the games. Deal with it. Are you arguing they looked great in those games?

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:32am

they haven't looked good. but i am a miami fan and know how hard it is to get all their games on TV. Where do you live &

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:36am

So they have had games on ABC, ESPN, and ACCN

puntersarepeople

11/15/20 10:41am

not all subscribers get the acc network

BlueFrog

11/15/20 10:51am

True. But you said it was near impossible

puntersarepeople

11/15/20 11:01am

ACC Network comes with most DirecTV packages. Not that hard to get.

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 9:58am

No, I am not. Anything can happen in college football. How about a golf hat?

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:01am

What is not going to happen is OU losing to OSU

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 10:02am

I don’t understand people getting so aggressive on a sports opinion site.

bluecougar1985

11/15/20 10:06am

Makes the game more fun

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 10:08am

The hat offer seems much more friendly than “leave if you’re wrong”

bluecougar1985

11/15/20 10:38am

The hat has actual value and seems like it would be against the rules

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 10:40am

OK, sorry I was talking about a hat I already own that has no value.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:49am

Charles Darwin

11/22/20 8:46am

Yes they got toasted. Good call. Thankful I can still post.

kiyoshige

11/22/20 7:08pm

Some posters are so offensive A TON would be gained if they (I) didn't post!

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:09am

Based on what? Osus improved defense, good qb and great running back?

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:06am

Oklahoma has improved after turnovers cost them early games. They don’t deserve

Charles Darwin

11/15/20 10:13am

Maybe so but there are plenty of good counter arguments

BYU '80

11/15/20 10:15am

I love how people can’t get into their heads that its conference only schedule

Cougz19

11/15/20 10:09am

What if it was a difference between said conference getting into CFP or not?

Indiana might get killed. Wisconsin and OSU very well may lose

puntersarepeople

11/15/20 10:16am

Let me save you from telling yourself on the 24th that you are wrong.

WJCougar

11/15/20 10:23am

I love win-win scenarios.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:30am

Its just sad you have no faith that it can actually happen.

WJCougar

11/15/20 10:34am

Faith vs. Reality is a perfect Sabbath discussion!

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:38am

Except you don't know if your prediction is reality or not.

WJCougar

11/15/20 10:43am

I was more speaking on how good our football team is NOW.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:46am

I don’t know if you’ll be right but I think it would be foolish to overlook this

ldssdl

11/15/20 10:32am

Army doesn't help IMO. Liberty/Marshall help slightly.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 10:36am

I hope you’re right. No P5 team is allowed to play BYU OOC, so the best we can

ldssdl

11/15/20 10:46am

Indiana, Wisconsin, Oregon and USC will pass BYU eventually so long as they do

Forzaitalia

11/15/20 11:40am

I would like BYU's chances in games against all of those teams

cougarxfan

11/15/20 12:13pm

BYU will be anywhere from 5-8. My opinion.

Mathew

11/15/20 12:43pm

No way we get into top 8. 9 is the ceiling IMO.

kiyoshige

11/15/20 1:43pm

9 may be YOUR ceiling but 11 is THE floor. No team has seen a difference between

Six Foot Seven

11/17/20 5:19am

Is this a serious post? Hahaha

BYUvermont

11/15/20 12:47pm

Kiyoshige is a realist. Nothing wrong with telling it like it is...

reezonablecoug

11/15/20 10:32pm

I still wear the blue goggles, but I was close at 12 and right at top 15.

kiyoshige

11/24/20 5:11pm

You were spot on, no matter how much it hurts.

reezonablecoug

11/25/20 12:16am

Good call. BYU is no longer going to get the good will vote for playing early.
