I'd be pretty happy with a post-Christmas bowl against Notre Dame. But still...

My expectations are NC.

Kinda weird your guy's obsession with playing the Tarheels 😉

Little too much busting for that to be any expectation

The Duke's Mayo Bowl isn't really that big of a game, but at least Charlotte is a cool town.

I’m thrilled with any BigXII bowl!!!

I'm not really "shifting" expectations per se. I'm just enjoying the ride

I just hope a loss doesn’t drop us disproportionately like in the past during Indy. That should be a perk of being P4.

Soupie

I hope so....but we're BYU.

Sometimes teams get better when they drop in the rankings.

This. I'm in the same boat. Enjoy each game as it comes, no expectations.

After last year's collapse I still have a hard time recalibrating. If we get to

Last year, the winning team got to eat a giant pop tart … just sayin’.

That is the dream

Any bowl would be great

I think at this point for "this" season we can do better. Some low-life pre-

Not getting to a bowl would be extremely disappointing at this point

I don't plan on shifting my expectations at all. I'll just be happy to see us

Would the $6 mil payout be the biggest bowl payout ever for BYU?

Vert der Frick

7:41am

Yes, and the biggest we’ve ever thrown into honeypot for a conference.

If BYU is still undefeated after the Utah game, then I'll start thinking playoff

I would be psyched to get to 8 games this year.

One goal at a time 1) make a bowl game 2) make a good bowl game 3) win a bowl

refunder

Yes, a win at the Pop Tart bowl would definitely be tempered by the thought

Hawk in the 303

My aspirations at this point are to stay undefeated at home and to beat Utah.

I won't shift my hopes to playoffs unless still undefeated after Utah game

If we are undefeated and defeat Utah I shift my expectations then

Expectations do change as the season goes on. But in the end we always have to

Sounds tasty!

Jerry Seinfeld approves. “What’s — the deal — with the Pop Tarts Bowl?”

Playing Notre Dame in a Bowl means Notre Dame has 4 or 5 losses.

This thread is what makes me nervous about b-ball. Expectations are high.

HeyU

Pop Tarts? I was hoping for something more substantial like the Cheerios Bowl.

Plantagenet

you need to settle down these expectations.

I think we win out at home

davidsonlaw

Maybe I missed 1, but that looks like far and away best bowl. Only 2 ranked opps

Just like basketball, I'm going to enjoy the ride wherever it takes me

But hope it is the longest ride possible. I think TCU 2022 has me daring to hope

My expectations are still relatively low - depth will likely become an issue.

Amazing how SEC and Big 10 have multiple teams in the playoffs...

The P4 Conference Champ games are the de facto first round of the playoffs.

Not really. Some of them will get back in the bracket and some might not.
