We are BYU-centric so we focus on our team.

But it’s not like there are even six teams out there who look incredible right now. The record and results (mostly) speak for themselves.

Ranking Tulane higher last week is the biggest joke.

No, ranking 3-loss Alabama coming off of a 24-3 loss to OU #13 was the biggest.

Yeah. . . BYU is not playing great football right now. . . CFP rankings are fine

Both are true. CFP is a joke.

Anyone who watches college football knows that there are few dominant teams.

And byu beat one of those teams SMU

With that logic anybody watching Georgia in OT would say they don’t look like

We only beat one ranked team and lost to unranked teams, slipping by bad teams

Do you watch all top 15 teams each week to confirm that bias?

It’s like in MMA don’t leave it to the judges. Just win

Very true. And yet the guys who say this often savage the judges

That’s nice, but why do we have to accept corrupt judges?

Big 12 was already weaker than Big 10 and SEC by any objective standard

I agree, but it seems this is just a new form of the BCS. Same people, same

Lol no

Dec 1, 8:32am

So what “objective standard” are you referring to?

CPAcoug87

Dec 1, 8:34am

For starters, you can look at postseason play

This will be the new crap narrative. The SEC will have 4x the chances of the

So wait, your “objective measure” is past postseason success?

"different era?" How did you decide to invent that nonsense?

Goliath

Dec 1, 2:32pm

NIL has changed things in college football.

Another conference finally wins a NC and it's suddenly a "new era"

What are Bama and Georgia ranked this year?

What is Texas ranked?

👍 if you can’t yet see that things are shifting, you will in a few more years

I know y'all are hoping for it desperately

Are you actually here repping Georgia after Friday night?

We are not up to standard. It's definitely a down year

Goliath

Chortle.

Dec 1, 6:54pm

If that's an objective standard, then we're not in the Top 25 and shouldn't be considered

Dec 1, 8:49am

It’s one data point. I didn’t say it’s the gold standard.

Winning playoff games is the key. That was the pac 12's problem. They talked

“Winning playoff games” where we will be out represented 4 to 1.

The "eye test" garbage is maddening. Just call it what it is: "Your bias"

Last year a lot of us seemed to think it was OK when Florida St was dropped

krindorr

Dec 1, 8:47am

Bad example. Florida State hadn't beaten anyone. We beat ACC undefeated

They beat a 9 win LSU and 8 win Clemson... And more importantly they didn't lose to anyone

Nope, but they play in the BIG10, which has history.

Dec 1, 8:58am

That’s what I’m trying to get rid of. There should be no “favoring” at all

But there is. You have biased humans making the decisions.
