why people are actively hoping Arizona State wins, "so that we have a shot at a revenge game." Here's the problem with that. For BYU to have a game at ALL, either Arizona State or Iowa State MUST lose.
I want BYU IN the conference championship at all WAY more than I want a specific opponent there, with the potential downside of not making it at all!
When your team has put themselves in a position to need someone else's effort to advance, welp, beggars can't be choosers about whose help they get!
I'd MUCH rather have our players know well before kickoff that if they win, they're in, than them find out in the second quarter they're out.
