arbitrary poll for legitimacy.

I can’t stand that. I’m just glad the playoff is expanded.

Disrespect continues….

Good. We win when people think we are bad. Lets keep it that way until we are locked in the CFP.

Agree. I love it the disrespect. It’s anti-rat poison. ☠️ Keep it coming.

Respect is earned, not demanded.

SoCalCoug

7-0 isn’t earned respect?

For many, I suppose.

But not for you?

I am fine with BYU being disrespected, hopefully the players feel they are. Keep

Well at least he's open & clear about his prejudice: "...I am not ready to live in a world where BYU is a top-10 team."

Yeah read that as well. Okay, so while he eventually can’t deny we belong for

Guy might need to call a self harm hotline. Pretty extreme emotion.

it's ok now.. but when the real rankings come out, being disrespected could cost us a spot in the playoff. The B12 must

This guy says Tennessee is a top team. Also says we barely beat a bad team.

aTm barely beats Bowling Green; Notre Dame loses to Northern Illinois

Jesse Pinkman

He’s completely ok to question the ranking at this point. It’s reasonable.

What a stupid article

volleyjiver

Is it really disrespect? Even die hard fans don't believe BYU's hype.

Littleone

Oct 21, 3:40pm

There’s a difference between “hype” and strength of performance on the field through 7 games. He wants to rank according

mvtoro

Yeah saying he’d rank BYU 14 instead of 11 isn’t a huge slight

That's essentially a blog.

No way BYU should be ranked that high....but Indiana with no big wins should.

Yep - My first thought there was he must be a B1G loyalist.

A bad oklahoma state team with mike gundy as the coach is still a good team

carlstud

Claiming we beat a bad OK State Team is what what was disrespectful

Author went to Univ of Georgia and loves karaoke and bar trivia. SEC homer.

He explained his biases and reasoning. I had no problem with it and that’s why you play play the game. It will play out

I get the OSU point, but you have to then mention SMU and Kansas St wins.

Cougarclaw

Everyone has close wins, Miami has had a close win vs Cal and their number 6

McMax

Oct 21, 5:11pm

I keep thinking of Miami as a 2 loss team. I know now they beat VT and Cal

RoboKayne

Georgia barely beat a very mediocre Kentucky team, 13-12.

slatecoug

Unranked is way too high for Utah.

DB Cooper

Oct 21, 5:00pm

It probably won’t change unless we beat Utah and UCF

runningryan

Oct 21, 5:04pm

Dumb article. He gave no argument at all. Basically said “they’re BYU.”

cajuncoug

Oct 21, 5:09pm

Having said this, the same guy predicts us to go 11-1 in the regular season,

Japan Coug

Are they really worse than Miami? Those dudes lost a couple games already before

amadt

Oct 21, 6:07pm

I love how they talk about “quality losses” almost like they are wins. BYU has

When dealing with idiots like this you only need to ask them one simple question

Win for more than a half season! Even many BYU diehard fans question whether

Meh, we're probably not Top 10. Doesn't matter. Keep a chip & just win!

grosven

Oct 21, 6:54pm

That's the problem with rankings, too many treat them like a popularity contest

slatecoug

I did not have a big problem with his rationale.

Always check the bio of the author of the article. Might explain things.
