McMurphy projects BYU to the Pop Tarts bowl

I'd be pretty happy with a post-Christmas bowl against Notre Dame. But still...

My expectations are NC.

Every year, NC or bust

Kinda weird your guys' obsession with playing the Tarheels 😉

Little too much busting for that to be any expectation

The Duke's Mayo Bowl isn't really that big of a game, but at least Charlotte is a cool town.

I’m thrilled with any BigXII bowl!!!

I'm not really "shifting" expectations per se. I'm just enjoying the ride

I just hope a loss doesn’t drop us disproportionately like in the past during Indy. That should be a perk of being P4.

I hope so....but we're BYU.

Sometimes teams get better when they drop in the rankings.

I feel like we are playing with house money right now.

It's true. They're already almost certain to hit most pre-season expectation as

This. I'm in the same boat. Enjoy each game as it comes, no expectations.

Any bowl would be great

Not getting to a bowl would be extremely disappointing at this point

I don't plan on shifting my expectations at all. I'll just be happy to see us

Would the $6 mil payout be the biggest bowl payout ever for BYU?

Vert der Frick

Sep 30, 7:41am

Yes, and the biggest we’ve ever thrown into honeypot for a conference.

If BYU is still undefeated after the Utah game, then I'll start thinking playoff

I would be psyched to get to 8 games this year.

One goal at a time 1) make a bowl game 2) make a good bowl game 3) win a bowl

Yes, a win at the Pop Tart bowl would definitely be tempered by the thought

My aspirations at this point are to stay undefeated at home and to beat Utah.

Jerry Seinfeld approves. “What’s — the deal — with the Pop Tarts Bowl?”

Playing Notre Dame in a Bowl means Notre Dame has 4 or 5 losses.

This thread is what makes me nervous about b-ball. Expectations are high.

Pop Tarts? I was hoping for something more substantial like the Cheerios Bowl.

you need to settle down these expectations.

I think we win out at home

Maybe I missed 1, but that looks like far and away best bowl. Only 2 ranked opps

My expectations are still relatively low - depth will likely become an issue.

The P4 Conference Champ games are the de facto first round of the playoffs.

Not really. Some of them will get back in the bracket and some might not.

Doesn't the P4 champion get an auto-bid to the quarter finals?

When BYU wins game #6 then look for next goal.
