they should be penalized for that?

Remember that OK. St., the last place team in the Big 12, beat Arkansas, who is bowl eligible and definitely not the worst team in the SEC.

Three major factors made the B12 a one bid league this year...

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 4:21am

Boo hoo. Instead of whining about bias, why don’t you tell us which Big 12 team,

garyfan

Dec 8, 5:26am

Only one had a worthy resume? That’s dumb. There was a four-way tie for first with identical records

2FarGone

Dec 8, 5:53am

Identical conference records; only a 3 way tie with identical records

BYUFam1

Dec 8, 7:07am

Garyfan spent all day yesterday doing this. You can’t fix dumb so don’t even try

dallasbyu

Dec 8, 8:13am

The entire country agrees with me but you’re right dallasboy, LOL.

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:15am

The media does. Yeah they’re a good partner to latch onto

BYU '80

Dec 8, 9:36am

Funny how I asked people to name the playoff team that should get bounced to

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:45am

Smu

BYU '80

Dec 8, 12:25pm

Yeah that’s a tough argument to make tbh.

garyfan

Dec 8, 12:50pm

you are right tough argument....head to head victory, better SOS...wake up!!

imdocrob

RE: you are right tough argument....head to head victory, better SOS...wake up!!

garyfan

Dec 8, 1:21pm

my head isn't the one buried in the sand...you give no credible evidence as

imdocrob

Dec 8, 1:25pm

No evidence … except for the post you responded to. LOL.

garyfan

Dec 8, 1:28pm

RE: No evidence … except for the post you responded to. LOL.

imdocrob

Dec 8, 1:42pm

Tired of his nonsense. One more for the ignored folder.

DeepCCoug

Dec 8, 9:42am

^^^ Also frustrated that he can’t name a playoff team BYU should bounce out.

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:56am

Since we don’t know who is in yet, kinda hard. But how about SMU, Miami to start

Future_Tacos

Dec 8, 10:30am

Miami is out. And make the case for BYU over SMU…

garyfan

Dec 8, 10:53am

Head to head. Sometimes important. Much better sos

BYU '80

Dec 8, 12:26pm

Stop that Gary doesn't like facts like that

imdocrob

Dec 8, 3:45pm

It’s almost as if there is more than one factor to consider.

garyfan

Dec 8, 3:49pm

Your the dumb one 4 saying SMU with a weaker strength of schedule and a head to head loss should get in over us. I'd say

NonmormonYfan89

Dec 8, 7:47pm

LOL. SMU had only one loss in the regular season.

garyfan

Dec 8, 7:51pm

Yeah, because they didn't play anyone. This the SOS part. The ACC wasn't even close to as good as the Big12 this year.

NonmormonYfan89

Dec 8, 7:57pm

So you’re saying BYU doesn’t have any good wins?

garyfan

Dec 8, 8:01pm

SMU lost head to head, had weaker SOS and weaker SOR. Ranked 7 slots above us.

Threw and Through

Dec 8, 3:58pm

They also had one regular season loss while we had two.

garyfan

Dec 8, 4:05pm

They also played in a weaker conf. & played an easier schedule

slatecoug

Dec 8, 4:10pm

So you’re saying our best win maybe wasn’t all that good?

garyfan

Dec 8, 4:50pm

You should be Biden's Press Sec.

slatecoug

Dec 9, 2:32pm

It helps that everything I say is true.

garyfan

Dec 9, 7:38pm

I know Jen Psaki and CJP believe the same thing about what they say.

slatecoug

Dec 10, 3:17pm

BYU should be in over Miami. Miami beat absolutely nobody good.

marinact

Dec 8, 7:23am

Technically you could argue byu should be in over Indiana, Miami, and penn state

jigidajrit

Dec 8, 7:45am

Miami isn’t a playoff team, so…

garyfan

Dec 8, 9:15am

They were the second team out behind 'Bama...so...

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 1:17pm

So … not a playoff team. Like I said.

garyfan

Dec 8, 1:22pm

Your standard for relevancy is interesting.

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 2:45pm

Everyone has known for more than a week that Miami was not getting in.

garyfan

Dec 8, 3:06pm

Can you direct me to where I said BYU should be in the playoff in my OP?

WVU_Prof

Dec 9, 3:34am

You said bias is one reason the Big 12 is a 1-bid conference, and I’m asking

garyfan

Dec 9, 5:04am

So bias can only exist if it keeps BYU out of the B12...

WVU_Prof

Dec 9, 5:29am

Say that again, slower

NGB

Dec 8, 10:51am

RE: Boo hoo. Instead of whining about bias, why don’t you tell us which Big 12 team,

Soupie

Dec 8, 8:48am

BYU has the 12th best resume in the country this season. They should be top 12.

here's to hoping

Dec 8, 10:25am

BYU should be in over Alabama, Miami, duh.

RoboKayne

Dec 8, 10:28am

Update: this was before I saw that SMU was in. I guess I'm stumped now.

RoboKayne

Dec 9, 3:04pm

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...do u even know what football is?

BYU had an sos in the 30s in every sos ive seen

BYU '80

Dec 8, 12:25pm

BYU deserves the At Large bid over SMU

slatecoug

Dec 8, 2:18pm

Kansas' little temper tantrum did a real number on the conference

jrifkin48

Dec 8, 6:11am

4. Having 9 conference games. BYU vs Colorado would've been the CCG with 8 games

dYrtbYkerYder

Dec 8, 6:40am

Factor #4 - Big12 teams didn't play at a CFP level

MyTwoCents

Dec 8, 8:00am

Already beat Smu and Indiana is a paper tiger.

BYU '80

Dec 8, 9:38am

So because the Big 12 doesn't have a bunch of garbage at the bottom of the conf,

slatecoug

RE: Three major factors made the B12 a one bid league this year...

Pretorian

Dec 8, 9:52am

And our top bowl option ensures another BXII loss. BXII needs a better strategy.

Cosmos-beard-card

Dec 8, 10:06am

Just a temporary situation. Wouldn’t choose that.

Soupie

Dec 8, 10:09am

Factor 1 is demonstrably false

NGB

Dec 8, 10:52am

The SEC is solid, but do they deserve 4-5 spots in the CFP???

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 1:10pm

They got 3

NGB

Dec 8, 1:15pm

B1G got 4 and 'Bama was the first team out...if Clemson misses FG, both get 4.

WVU_Prof

Dec 8, 2:35pm

And if not for one bad play against Kansas, the Bug 12 gets 2 teams in the CFP.

garyfan

Dec 9, 6:22am

Unless BYU had won the CCG.

dYrtbYkerYder

Dec 9, 6:25am

True. 3-loss ASU would have been out. But I’m trying to turn just one dial

garyfan

Dec 9, 6:29am

You seem to love talking about bias...that was a small part of my OP...

WVU_Prof

Dec 9, 7:32am

It was literally the lead point of your OP.

garyfan

Dec 9, 7:55am

Can we blame them for the bias? A look at the last 10-20 years of CFP champs

MD Rebel Coug

Dec 8, 11:36am

But some of their advantages are gone now. I think it worries them.

dYrtbYkerYder

Dec 8, 11:53am

Yes, we can blame them. Also, I saw a great YT video that explained that the SEC

RoboKayne

Dec 9, 9:31am

Kansas didn’t finish same as Utah. 4-5 for KU and 2-7 for Utah.

dtownCoug

Dec 8, 8:00pm

Same overall record...but the way I wrote it suggests conf. record.
