It’s your kind of thinking that allows all this elitist BS to go on unchecked. Who cares who’d win tomorrow? They played THIS SEASON and BYU won. End of story.

SMU looks WAY better than BYU

12/7/24 10:47pm

I think we saw the result. They have a better O. We have a better D.

Yeah, lower SoS will do that

You’re likely right but Clemson isn’t great by any means

BYU '80

12/7/24 10:48pm

And they are going to the CFP… 🤮

They won their conference, what do you want?

Non automatic bid for conference champions.

Lolo

Then we will have 10 teams from the SEC and B1G in the playoffs haha

BYU would have looked even better against that G6 SOS.

mulletino

12/7/24 10:48pm

Not g5 esque. SOS is a bad metric

BYU '80

12/7/24 10:50pm

They had 8 wins because they were in the ACC.

I'llgive you a pass for saying that considering what happened to your team today

Don’t we play the games so the “eye” test doesn’t matter? BYU beat SMU in their

Did you watch their games against Duke and BC?

Iowa St got punished on the field

The old eye test we should just watch practices

BYU was 3-yards short from beating ASU on the road a couple weeks ago. Is ASU

Bro… Iowa state just got MURDERED in the CCG. Sit down.

Title game loss. That’s the reason

BYU '80

12/7/24 10:47pm

BYU didn't get a chance for title game because of lame tiebreakers

11-2 >>>> 10-2

RGGeemer

12/7/24 10:48pm

One of the losses is head to head

ochobeeguy

12/7/24 10:54pm

And each lost to their conference champion.

ochobeeguy

Sure even if you lose head to head.

johnnybyu

12/7/24 10:59pm

Not when you play in a weaker conference

slatecoug

12/8/24 4:08am

The problem is how much can you really discipline a team for making the CCG?

y2kougar

12/7/24 10:52pm

The real problem is, no one is asking the question, why is the CFP Committee

slatecoug

12/8/24 11:55am

Simple: more fans and money and voters on the east Coast!

Xenon

12/7/24 10:59pm

Texas is the east coast now?

BaseCoug

12/7/24 11:17pm

SMU is not on east coast, and BYU has a much larger fanbase

zerome4sooners

12/8/24 6:20am

SMU has a very small, but rich, fanbase. Don't bring eyeballs like BYU.

No unranked losses.

Alabama has 2 unranked losses, and yet they would have gotten the final spot if

I’d rather see SMU in than Alabama.

WillsPitStop

12/8/24 7:12am

It’s pretty simple. SMU’s other loss came in the ACC championship game and the

WillsPitStop

12/8/24 7:20am

That’s still dumb. Their only ranked win was in the CCG.

If the ACC were as competitive as the Big 12 that would make sense, but the

slatecoug

12/8/24 12:00pm

It is called TV money. The ACC/B12 split 3 spots. B12 got bye, ACC 2 teams.
