TailgateU All-American

Just like Drake, other news media know where their bread is baked. Patting BYU on the back while insulting UU is the perfect way to get action going.

Lol. September can be really fun.

I love that they just ignore Utah all-together

SWKTNative

That’s just what I was thinking. Those kind of ideas will turn joy into grief

Do the top 4 teams play at home?

Mostlyaccurate

6:42am

No, top 4 conference champs get a bye to the second round

thewaterboy

6:47am

That’s a flaw they should fix. Keep the byes, but reward their fans with a home

Odysseus

Gotta keep the bowl committees happy

thewaterboy

7:26am

If you expand to at least 16 then those teams would get a home game

This NEEDS to happen. FCS and DII do 24 & 28 teams, it's proven, and amazing.

Before we start talking about that

Okay

We’re just fans. We can talk about the playoffs all we want.

Don't have to go undefeated. 1 loss gets us into the champ game. Then auto bid

RGGeemer

7:40am

You forgot Houston…

kalifi

8:16am

Nah that game looks like a gimme

WorfoSAUR

But it's not US who's speculating.

What about Houston Cougars??

Especially Utah!

The expanded playoff is so long overdue it is insane. Everyone has a shot to

SWKTNative

It's still not enough teams. FCS gets it right with 24 and has proven it works.

RUNBYU1

8:16am

I agree with you, 24 is the right number

CameronG

9:23am

Great analysis. Pretty amazing to think about how that would've been!

RUNBYU1

9:32am

I'd be happy with 16. 99% of the time it would be hard to argue that any viable

16 isn't bad and it's better than 12

CougarScrub

Personally, I think 24 is the right number because it still requires a team to

CameronG

11:32am

Certainly agreed. Should've been 16 at a MINIMUM, but 24 is a better number

SWKTNative

10:26am

Heck, why not make it 128 teams?

Diablo and Doc

11:17am

Because the nobodies (NIU) never beat the top dogs (ND). Heaven forbid we give

The funniest part about this is the disrespect to Utah aka Red BYU

Walter Sobchak

6:48am

Not really. Utah squeeking past Big12 power team, BYU demolishing another.

MarylandFan

7:15am

That’s exactly why it’s funny because Utah was so highly touted in preseason and

Walter Sobchak

I absolutely love "Red BYU" special thanks to OKstate fans

MaxxPower

Thank you for getting the reference I wasn’t sure how many people would remember

Walter Sobchak

They even acknowledge that there is a long way to go. I don't think they really

"The Big 12 is wide open and we've had a fun time spotlighting different teams in this slot through the last few weeks"

I.e., “luckily there are a lot of teams we can put here to drive clicks”

Soren Tversky

B12 a one bid league, and BYU gets the only bid? Wild prediction.

Yllage Vidiot

I am not going to think about Any type of championship until we beat Utah.

kiyoshige

Clickbait. I’m sorry but two weeks ago I was just hoping for 8 wins.

Probably best to burn your fan card, if positive BYU press bothers you

No bueno

HeyU

7:53am

I think most of us had BYU getting a 1st rd bye then hosting Georgia

maxpowers

8:02am

We'd be playing JMU.

RGGeemer

8:52am

The nice thing is even if we lose 63-7 to Georgia, there's no shame in that.

Captain Rex

Don’t drink the cool aid

Now i wont be surprised if some our fans are upset b/c we lose after our bye

Boomcannon

Reality: We're not out of it yet. But Big 12 will be a dog fight.

Never bring a dog to a cougar fight.

MarylandFan

So you're telling me there's a chance?

runningfoo

I love the Cougars. There is absolutely ZERO shot of BYU winning the BigXII

Come on, it's not ZERO

RGGeemer

Unlikely, sure, but there isn't a behemoth in the conference either

KState gifted us 3 touchdowns, that's not going to happen again
