Intervention Needed
It seems you are not familiar with this story. BYU being Nebraska or not has
nothing to do with the approach the P5 conferences are taking to scheduling non-conference opponents.

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.

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

Perhaps i chose wrong words to use.

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

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

Oregon has better wins? Winless Stanford and Wazzu?
BYU '80
11/15/20 9:49am
who are our better wins?

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
11/15/20 10:06am
So how does that make Stanford better than Boise?
ochobeeguy
11/15/20 10:10am
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Maybe so but there are plenty of good counter arguments

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

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

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