"BYU isn't an OSU and losing a game means BYU slides further back than the rest of the P4 teams."
- All that matters is we are a highest ranked conference champion. Whether that is #2, #3, or #11, it doesn't matter.

"Other teams can bounce back, but once BYU slides 7 points down with only 2 games left, then it makes it more difficult for BYU."
- All that matters is we are a highest ranked conference champion. Whether that is #2, #3, or #11, it doesn't matter.

"BYU had everything in it's hand and controlled it's own destiny."
- We still do. We can clinch a Big12 Championship berth this week if we win and Utah wins (🤮) or we win our next 2 games (very doable).

"Now, BYU needs "other" teams to lose. BYU won't get a bye in the first round. BYU HAS to win the B12 championship, PERIOD."
- We actually don't need other teams to lose. In no world would a 12-1 Boise State be ranked ahead of us and take that BYE from us. We just need to win.

"Which means, BYU needs to win the rest if the games. It's that simple."
- Yes. That's the point.

"Question I would ask anyone: Why remove your ability to control your own destiny 🤔?'
- ... What?
