but the last several years they are not deep. it’s the exact same way that the pac 12 was “deep” in 2022. everyone in the conference loses to everyone else. but by the end of the season, most people forget the awful non conference results.

No way. SEC has dominated college football for years. Big XII needs to earn this

brazilcoug

Actually all they have done is have two top programs and beat up on middle tier

The SEC has had more teams win NCs than all the other conferences combined over

Durden

Ya because they have been given a seat or two every single time.

Haysom Till

Nov 20, 9:26am

Lots of other conference have had their chances: nobody else wins

Durden

teams win national championships. conferences don’t. the best SEC team is usually the best team in the country

FieroCoug

Nov 20, 1:31pm

this is my point...it's consistently Bama and X. Right now that is Georgia.

exactly. and the big 12 was like that with OU too. the perceived differences between conferences really boils down to

Not true. The SEC is substantially deeper, especially after expansion

B12 is 2-2 with the SEC this year and a former b12 team is at the top of the SEC

Mostlyaccurate

Nov 20, 7:27am

Not sure that logic follows - the Big 12 is led by two PAC teams and an Independent (G5-type) team

krindorr

Nov 20, 8:58am

Wrong. What have you done for me this year? That's all that matters

OldFogey

Nov 20, 8:52am

This year the SEC is 10-5 in P5 OOC, the Big 12 is 5-9

krindorr

Nov 20, 9:05am

Yes. Agreed. I was objecting to the notion the SEC deserves anything due to

OldFogey

It's easy to dominate when you're given a spot in the finals every year.

Maybe the SEC should play someone other than Mercer St. for their nonconference

Rocketman

Nov 20, 1:49pm

SEC is the best conference - hands down. However, if they were adding more

truecougster

Nov 20, 5:23pm

Yes. We need consistency across conferences—this is going to fall apart fast if

All we had to do was beat Kansas at home.

JKLCoug

Nov 20, 6:47am

And ASU this week. And every single team on our schedule. That’s “all we had to do”. We’ve done a pretty dang good job

mvtoro

Nov 20, 9:44am

that should apply to the teams losing to vandy and arkansas and kentucky and NIU and georgia tech

FieroCoug

Nov 20, 1:51pm

If we were the 4 seed, we would have to play OSU anyway.

TADOW

Nov 20, 6:51am

Playing OSU at the Horseshow would be way tougher than neutral site

Burton162

The committee is stuck on brands, not the best teams.

2FarGone

Nov 20, 6:51am

Is BYU’s brand is known for always coming up short. They need to win to fix that

maxpowers

Nov 20, 6:57am

Always coming up short? You mean the 1/10 times they have played this year?

2FarGone

Nov 20, 7:02am

As a program historically

maxpowers

Nov 20, 7:15am

Typically the sec and b1g play no one in non con

BYU '80

Nov 20, 6:58am

They also play more home games & stick a gimme game in Nov to recoup while others beat each other up.

IF BYU wins out, there is almost no chance Boise State stays ahead of BYU

donnerstag

Also, no guarantee that Boise wins out

2FarGone

Home against Oregon State will be a tough game.

This^^

Junior Deputy

Or Colorado or ASU

BYU Fan

Nov 20, 8:25am

Colorado or BYU needs to win out, so one of them jumps BSU

Burton162

Nov 20, 12:09pm

My thoughts: Don’t lose to a crappy Kansas team at home

arizonacougarfan

Nov 20, 7:29am

I love the "be perfect when no one else has to be" argument coming from our own

BamaCoug

Yep, had that offer without a conference.

Why do you think Arod will change? I see not evidence that he can or will.

Les IsMore

Why does the OC have to be LDS? Dewey Warren, Doug Scoville, Ted Tollner,

gopman

I don’t think A Rod will ever change which is why I have long advocated parting ways with him

If we make the playoffs I’ll be ecstatic.

And the Big 12 Champ will get it - the current seedings are just for drama

BYU Fan

SEC top teams lose, look how strong the conference is, BIG 12 top teams lose

kjjson

Nobody “deserves” anything… we just need to win

Pretorian

Nov 20, 9:23am

Meh, doesn't mean much 3 weeks out. BYU/Colorado win out, meet in CCG as top

BYUHgrad

Nov 20, 9:24am

Whoever wins the CCG will get the 3 or 4 seed, unless they somehow have 3 losses

akmewg

It baffles me how we are so quick to be offended that BYU who most of us

Michicoug

Nov 20, 9:34am

Like it or not rankings come down to how well rounded a team is

runningryan

Nov 20, 9:45am

Doesn't matter much. Everyone you play in that round and moving forward

Nagurski

Nov 20, 10:12am

Hard for Big12 to make noise in playoff with only one team in it

Hill4Heisman

Nov 20, 10:37am

Yep. Then any loss will lead to further justification in future. The standards are different & the deck is stacked.

Soupie

This is exactly what I wrote about here:

Let’s not worry until BYU goes 12-1. T doesn’t matter now

Bobmarleyjr

Nov 20, 10:39am

Hmmm... B1G and SEC > all others = bad, but Big XII > MWC = good?

reddead

Nov 20, 10:44am

While painfully true....do you mind? You're interrupting our rant.

Soupie

Nov 20, 10:47am

My bad. Sorry!

reddead

Nov 20, 11:08am

My prediction would be BYU ends up in the Alamo Bowl being 3rd place in Big12

SoValleyCOUG

Nov 20, 11:53am

Where does 2nd place Big XII team go? Pop Tarts?

Burton162

Nov 20, 12:11pm

Looks about right to me. Every one of those teams would be favored to beat BYU

Homo Erectus

We don't deserve better when we crap out pants against losing records

We don't DESERVE anything. Can't lose like they did.
