My two accurate yet competing thoughts about BYU and the CFP

If big10/sec want to leave let them, but exclude them from NCAA BB tourney

I’d go to SeatGeek and look to see the cheapest price and then price it below that just to unload.

I’m sure you aren’t the only one.

Poached coaches always go out the backdoor... unless they're entirely full of themselves

SinkingQuffa

7:25am

Does the offense just need to make some tweaks, or does it need wholesale change? View

@CougarBoard

7:08am

The system is never going to be fair. But it's 100X better than it was even last

Shinshin

7:04am

Problem is, the committee is setting the precedent going forward to screw anyone

CObluezone

7:07am

Yep. Now is the time to head it off or it will become the accepted pattern & process.

Soupie

7:14am

BYU has the #12 resume. Tied 1st in a p4 league beat #1 ACC team OOC on the road

Mr. Scoobs

7:22am

Your last sentence is 100% spot on and infuriating

Idacoug

7:25am

It’s a deliberate effort to diminish the B12 & ACC but especially B12.

Soupie

7:27am

Maybe the "Back to the MWC" crowd was right all along

WorfoSAUR

7:03am

One thing that will always confound me in how CBB games are officiated

CEO of United Healthcare shot dead this morning

txblue All-American

7:00am

Holy crap that is frightening. Martial law in SK yesterday & now this Wild stuff

Kolipoki

7:03am

Wow, that's the sixth largest employer in America. More impact than most

Zooropa

7:04am

So we're to the CEO-assassination stage already?

NGB

7:04am

My company's largest client. I have a call with them later today.

dYrtbYkerYder

7:09am

Geez. They are everything wrong with US Healthcare…but that doesn’t mean we go

IGlowInTheDark

7:17am

Morally, this society is not looking great

Non-Conference Records, by Conference

Dwreck

6:57am

Yes, the SEC does very well against the Sun Belt and Southern Conference teams.

dYrtbYkerYder

7:08am

8 conf games, 7-8 home games, never leave your region, inflate preseason ranks so no loss is a bad loss = SEC formula.

Soupie

7:21am

BYU's NET ranking dropped from #48 to #69- that's not even a bubble team

nova_coug_fan

6:56am

Never dropped below #12 last yr. Yet so many thought we’d be so much better

Mr. Scoobs

7:00am

I think most of if considered this a transition and improving over time

SBB

7:03am

I think we'll be a lot better 1-2 months from now

SingleStrapBackpack

7:07am

It’s going to be really funny if the CFP drops SMU or BSU

CasualFan

6:54am

Oh they’ll definitely drop BSU, even they expect as much

keithcoug

7:05am

BSU is out if they lose CCG

WJCougar

7:09am

If SMU loses and drops out, I wonder if that will cause conferences to allow

CougarTwins

7:09am

Playing UNLV at home should get them the win but it anything is possible.

Soupie

7:23am

KSUs coach made good points re the BIG 12 and 12 team CFP

orrin7

6:32am

Somehow the 9-game schedule doesn’t hurt the Big Ten, though.

Yukon

6:40am

Thata because outside of 5 or 6 teams, the rest is MWC level

Crazy Joe Davola

6:45am

If that. Amazing how bad some of those programs can be despite being gifted

Ghost of Peanut

6:47am

Brett sounds stupid & spinning things more than Bill Clinton & he knows it.

SBB

6:29am

Crazy stats that tell the whole story… Hopkins being back was massive and

LumberCoug

6:14am

That’s the story combined with ice cold shooting.

Soupie

7:13am

Yorkman needs to respond to this ridiculous ACC crying

creameryon9th

6:11am

Yormark is watching basketball and has no clue football is still going on.

Yukon

6:19am

For a commissioner who seemed to have started out strong, he's been pretty absent. Not advocating for the conf at all

Crazy Joe Davola

6:26am

Likely positioning himself for a bigger job sadly. Doesn't want to make waves.

VACOUGFAN

6:30am

We lost at home to a team that had only won 3 games

machete

6:34am

And when you thought KU was a late season hot team - BAM! They lose to Baylor

jrifkin48

6:37am

Still not much different or worse than a loss to OU or Vandy

CPAcoug87

6:49am

Kansas beat BYU, Colorado, and Iowa State. The committee has access to that info

HouseDeeking

6:40am

And this is why they hurt the Big12 in the rankings

cypresstx

7:28am

Resume-style rankings consistently have us in the 10-12 range. On resume alone,

cougarfan84

6:43am

Don’t we look at where a team finishes? Kansas finished 5-7…

Yukon

6:43am

Of you look at Massey composite rankings, Miami is #13 and BYU is #15.

cougarfan84

6:41am

If you limit it to resume ranks, then BYU would be up at #12. However, it would

jreid191

6:46am

FWIW, Syracuse is ranked #22

NGB

Biggest difference I saw yesterday. Providence played physical D while we were

rcbyufan

I tend to agree. They were all about defense on each play. I like that KY

NOCAL_YFAN

6:13am

Rename the CFP to - "The National Invitational College Football Tournament"

BYURider

5:54am

How does FCS do it?

Heath Squashwell

5:57am

Not sure fully, but i suspect it's merit based and not clouded by TV ratings and Big, historical name motivators

Crazy Joe Davola

6:03am

What tv ratings? That helps right there.

Soupie

7:26am

Here

BYUFam1

6:14am

So basically the same, with more conference champs

Heath Squashwell

6:20am

And less $ at stake, so less corruption

Crazy Joe Davola

6:27am

I suppose but some glaring differences

BYUFam1

6:44am

More like the "Secbig football invitational"

BYUFam1

6:11am

I knew this was coming and tried to warn everyone. B12 doesn’t gain us much

zerome4sooners

5:53am

I think it was the timing of our loses more than anything.

lemonademan

6:00am

So if we lost to Kansas State and Baylor instead…

Yukon

6:26am

College football playoff rules were meant to be fluid. Who knows what it will be

Cosmo Kramer

6:03am

Is there really a P4? P5 was a thing because there were autobids. Those are no more. There's certainly sentiment of P2

Crazy Joe Davola

6:14am

Disagree. It made a $30M+ advantage…

NorCal_Coug

6:18am

I don’t get the complaints.

CasualFan

6:19am

I don’t get why BYU and the Big XII are held to a higher standard.

Yukon

6:31am

LOL no you sound like a whiner

CasualFan

6:43am

You're right. All I want is for every team to be held to the same standards. There are like 8 teams in front of us

Colorado

6:52am

I think being P4 gives us recruiting opportunities that we did not have before.

Billie Ruben

6:26am

Big 12 is way more fun than independence. it's not close

JoeExotic

5:22am

Baker, Boskovic & Keita are all transers we have for the next two seasons. Do we get part-credit there?

SinkingQuffa

Bosko not a transfer but does have experience

Tis true. He's kinda equivalent, though.

I terms of laying an egg, here’s how I would rank times, worst to best

gww687

6:25am

BYU had 21 ORB's to the Friars 2 ORB's. Doubt there are any statistics on that,

jaba166

2:06am

I’ll take “when is something good, really something bad?” for $500, Alex.

BoiseBlueCoug

2:29am

Couldn't establish our offense, couldn't hit the ocean VS the Friar's best shooting performance on the year, likely.

SinkingQuffa

2:58am

Missing tons of shots will help boost your ORB stat

ryebrye

5:42am

It's really the only reason the game was close in the first half

scherbie

6:24am

Surprising, CFP Committee Member backgrounds do not seem to favor SEC/BIG

ExitStageLeft

Old boys club with rare exceptions.

Soupie

My thoughts.

TheAirForceCoug

12:39am

Two types there: (1) current SEC/BIG insiders, and (2) aspiring SEC/BIG insiders

Still Blue

1:25am

Those are current positions. What's their full work history? Where did they go

Y05

4:35am

You can read their full bio by clicking on their photo.

Soupie

6:57am

Committees are often driven by a few alphas and everyone else cowardly falls in line. This is no exception

Crazy Joe Davola

4:37am

Don’t be fooled. $$ talks and b.s. walks. This committee is dominated by those

ImuaKahuku

6:04am

There’s no legitimate response to this. Nobody ever has one. Just conspiracy theories that make no sense.

Soupie Grandma Sycamore

Dec 3, 11:55pm

I wonder if the committee is mixing up BYU and BSU when they talk about them?

Crowd Factor

12:07am

That would make more sense than many other things they do.

Soupie

12:08am

Isn't there only 1 g5 team on that chart? Why does say "contenders" with an s?

cougarfann888

Think just not making the assumption of which one it will be. Novel mindset.

Yep. BYU's 2 losses were by a total of 9 pts but we also have a top 10 win and allowed fewest pts

Soupie

Dec 3, 11:38pm

Yep - Miami is the biggest pretender (followed by IU, ND) in all of this

Both Miami and BYU likely out. So why waste the energy comparing the two?

Das_Countach

Already his third school to commit to. Impressive.

JuicyJam

Dec 3, 11:50pm

Using 247 ratings, BYU has a commitment from the #66 QB in the country

StantonMac

Dec 3, 11:54pm

…almost identical rating to both Zach Wilson and Jaren Hall…

Das_Countach

12:05am

And? That is completely irrelevant.

StantonMac

12:23am

Not any more or less irrelevant than your initial comment

Das_Countach

12:28am

It’s completely relevant to counter your assertion that ARod can’t recruit

StantonMac

12:33am

I’m in full agreement that BYU needs better QB recruiting year in and year out but this kid isn’t the answer. There are

Zach Morris

12:06am

…I don’t know man, threw for nearly 400 yds, 74% 5TD 0int vs Corner Canyon

I wouldn’t worry about this kid. He’s as flaky as the day is long.

The same ARod that cooled on Isaac Wilson and decided not to pursue him, good choice.

I don’t think that’s true

Im pretty sure it was the exact opposite, Isaac cooled on Arod, the confirmation

Do you have inside info on this?

niqmadu

7:29am

What is more important… getting big recruits or putting QBs in the NFL?

100% agree. Of all the ARod critiques, QB recruiting and development might be the worst.

That’s actually what they will cost US consumers/taxpayers.
