There is a ~75% chance BYU will lose a game this year

They could all very well be projecting that BYU will finish no better than 11-1.

An 11-1 BYU is almost 100% guaranteed the Miami Beach Bowl. I think it's real early to read too much into these just yet

Worst case scenario coming to be?

sweetbuns

That is the worst case scenario and risk of being independent.

Zach Morris

9/22/14 8:37am

Cincinatti would be a fun matchup at least

joehayes

9/22/14 8:39am

A 12-0 BYU won't be left out. They probably will stick BYU with the G5 team

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 8:39am

i'm not okay with that. I would be ticked.

cocktosten

9/22/14 8:52am

What part? I'll take it. BYU can beat a team like East Carolina.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:03am

What if it's against #12 ECU in the Fiesta Bowl. That would be awesome!

boscatar

9/22/14 9:53am

Not if BYU keeps playing the way that they are...

Smoke Monster

9/22/14 8:55am

I'm not sure what your point is. IF BYU is undefeated they will play in a NY6.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:01am

The Boise St game is our next change to really prove something...

Smoke Monster

9/22/14 9:09am

They looked more impressive against TX and VA than UCLA.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:11am

That is a pessimistic view. BYU is going to move 2 spots in the polls in the

Lance71

9/22/14 9:14am

They'll be getting jumped a lot is my guess...

Smoke Monster

9/22/14 9:16am

That's a pretty pathetic guess. Jumped by who? Teams with multiple losses?

cougarick

9/22/14 9:23am

Still 25 undefeated teams

BYUFam1

9/22/14 9:33am

The SEC East and PAC 12, Notre Dame, and ACC start play this week

boscatar

9/22/14 10:01am

Which also means we'll see teams moving up as well...

Smoke Monster

9/22/14 10:09am

Maybe, but it would have to be teams who have already lost, for the most part.

rggee

9/22/14 10:24am

And then down - at least 14 more losses among the top 8 in the SEC alone

boscatar

9/22/14 1:10pm

Plus doesn't ND also play FSU?

BYUFam1

9/22/14 1:19pm

How does a top 25 team play exactly?

PolarisPrime

9/22/14 1:18pm

I thought top G5 champion was in no matter what. Only way BYU gets in

Fdnman

9/22/14 8:39am

This is correct.

fredgarvin

9/22/14 9:47am

They're not competing for the same spot. BYU's destiny is not connected to ECU

Lance71

9/22/14 8:45am

Someone should tell ESPN they got it wrong then.

Zach Morris

9/22/14 8:47am

ESPN probably figures we'll end up with at least one loss

QuickCoug

9/22/14 8:48am

they're obviously assuming BYU loses at some point

BlueK

9/22/14 9:00am

Or they are doing it based off rankings now. They aren't predicting anything

cougaman

9/22/14 1:15pm

Could be if they end up not winning their conference.

rggee

9/22/14 8:51am

The worst case scenario leaves BYU out of a bowl this season.

You do realize the G5, of which we are not a part, are guaranteed an NY6 slot,

sweetbuns

9/22/14 8:55am

Right now it's just a projection, and the easy projection with the best odds

cougarick

9/22/14 8:59am

ECU's remaining schedule is even worse than ours.

Real Men Wear Blue

9/22/14 8:51am

Worst case would be BYU undefeated and left out and Utah with 2 loses

Iron Coug

9/22/14 8:53am

A 2 loss Utah team would be better than an undefeated BYU team.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:04am

Unfortunately, we will never know.

Iron Coug

9/22/14 9:13am

I think we do.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:19am

Because they play each other? Or even have common opponents?

Iron Coug

9/22/14 9:22am

Because they have better athletes, coaching, and beat BYU 67% of the time

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:36am

Whoever at Utah was able to foresee the future and avoid Taysom's Jr AND Sr

Fdnman

9/22/14 9:33am

BYU is lucky they avoided Wilson's Jr and Sr years.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 9:37am

Sorry, but you are just trolling now.

Real Men Wear Blue

9/22/14 12:13pm

Truth is hard sometimes.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 12:16pm

LOL. Just because you type it, doesn't mean it's true.

Real Men Wear Blue

9/22/14 1:18pm

I'm not trying to troll or be a jerk.

The Lone Wolf

9/22/14 5:46pm

Good thing there weren't any lucky wins by Utah in those 12 years...

Nut'n'2Say

9/23/14 9:17am

lol

RealityCheck

Calling BS on this one...

Nut'n'2Say

9/22/14 11:15am

It isn't about the bowls "reason" to let one in

BYUFam1

9/22/14 8:54am

Don't forget displaced champions

boscatar

9/22/14 1:25pm

I remembered

BYUFam1

9/22/14 1:29pm

there is ZERO connection between ECU getting in and BYU getting in or not. None

BlueK

RE: Worst case scenario coming to be?

BluPaul

9/22/14 10:53am

Not eligible for a NY6 game

BluPaul

9/22/14 10:58am

This statement is not correct

BYUFam1

9/22/14 11:09am

Quoting yourself doesn't add validity to your erroneous statement.

collie418

9/22/14 11:38am

Everyone is eligible for a NY6 bowl game

PolarisPrime

9/22/14 1:21pm

Wrong.

rggee

9/22/14 11:25am

Ha ha
