This. We have a chance. And as I keep telling people, if we make the playoff

and get crushed in the first round, that doesn't mean the playoff didn't work. I think it means that the playoff DID work. Those who succeed in their conference get to battle it out with those who succeed in their conferences. And the better conference winners advance and win the whole thing.

There has been a lot of argument on this board about the playoffs being unfair. I guess I'm a little surprised that

I really think there was a viable path this year for the B12 to get 2 teams in.

How do Alabama and Ohio State have an easier path?

Let's take Ohio St. They have a worse SOS than BYU and the same amount of losses. They are at #2

The is is pretty easy, tbh.

LOL, did you look at the teams they beat? Apparently not. If BYU's SOS is better than Ohio State's, they have

I’m not sure you understand how strength of schedule works

Wow you are great. "BYU hasn't beaten an elite team", just the current team leading the ACC

Penn State’s resume is poor? Their strength of schedule is one spot behind BYU’s

And yet they struggled against Nebraska. Or did you just leave that out? Nebraska is rated one spot

I obviously didn’t leave Nebraska out. Again, you’re being disingenuous with your arguments here

Nov 21, 3:55pm

Oh the old "trap game" argument. BYU struggles, but Nebraska just has trap games.

"No metrics show that BYU is better than Ohio St"

I didn’t think I’d have to clarify “metrics actually used, not metrics that some random person threw together,” but here
