In the grand scheme of things does it really matter if BYU finishes ranked 6 or 9, no. But, as a fan, I still like to see them ranked as high as possible at the end of the year.
Like 1994, it was a pleasant surprise to have the coaches rank the team #10. No one was expecting it, and I'm sure there can be a lot of cases made against the ranking, but it happened and forever and ever we can claim a top 10 finish.
