Well, no. They don't need to have 2 losses. Bama 13-0, UGA 12-1, Texas A&M 11-1.

Mandel's Mailbag: BYU playing “steaming pile of garbage” PAC12 teams

To me that says more about how the Pac 12 is perceived than anything else

Yep. But why pt out the real problem when you can scapegoat it under the rug?

The winner of the PAC-12 south has never been seriously considered for Natty.

BYU never really had at shot at an NC.

Conversation, sure. An undefeated BYU will be a topic of conversation.

Here is the logic : SEC Champ gets in. Big 10 Champ gets in.
Baron

Also this ignores the real possibility of the SEC 3#. Georgia, Florida, and Bama all could be in before BYU gets in.

Yes. But we'd have a whole lot of support from the national media

Just tell me which of those would the national media put us in over? I mean Penn State was booted for OSU one year and

Not saying it would likely get us in — but it'd be a fun place for our program.

SEC has no chance to get three teams, sorry. One of them will have two losses

It is more likely they get 3 teams than BYU gets in. IMO

There will always be an excuse. Even when we're in the B12, if/when we have a magical season, they'll find something

Two wins against ranked teams in a row...they aren't very good. Mostly P5 teams...they aren't the cream of the crop.
