I think fans should fan how fans want. Probably unreasonable to expect CCG or
playoffs, but... Fan how you want. I'm just enjoying win after win after win after win... Go Cougars

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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?
