One of the “head winds” BYU faces is that they played SMU and K-State too early

in the season. Would have been better to play those games in October or November, after it became clear how good SMU is, and so people don’t think of those big wins as having occurred in the distant past.

Likewise, it’s too bad BYU didn’t play utah in September, when many still thought they were a very good team.

They don’t realize their success is tied to a coach from BYU

Critical thinking is becoming a lost art practiced only by nerds

Huh? Texas beat #10 Michigan on the road this year, and #18 OU in the rivalry game

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 7:11am

And #25 Vanderbilt on the road

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 7:12am

And none are ranked due to multiple losses. MI and OU are “terrible”this year.

Texas is good

Top 10 in offensive points per game, passing yards per game, total yards per game, #2 in defensive yards

Michigan has since been exposed as very mediocre, and Oklahoma too. Not only is

Is this TIC? I feel like this is TIC

wildeone

Why would it be TIC? You can easy look for yourself.

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 7:22am

Because both Michigan and Oklahoma were exposed as frauds. Both unranked.

Brandoblueblood

Nov 12, 10:04am

They were ranked when Texas played them. And you simply can't argue that doesn't

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 10:14am

So does our game against SMU not count because they weren't ranked at the time?

stansburycoug

Nov 12, 10:34am

I've said a few times in this thread that both metrics count.

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 11:22am

Beating FSU shouldn't count for anything. They were bad all year

Those games mean zero to the ctee. They care about the playoff top 25

Nov 12, 1:11pm

What? Neither OU or Michigan is ranked. Texas is good though.

They were when Texas played them.

And that means nothing.

wildeone

Disagree. It means a lot. So does current ranking.

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 9:07am

So does a win over FSU early in the season should be considered a quality win?

wildeone

Nov 12, 9:10am

If they are ranked when you played them, it would be considered a win over a ranked opponent

Skeptical Optimist

Nov 12, 9:32am

So you think Georgia Tech beat a top-10 team that is currently 1-9?

wildeone

Nov 12, 9:55am

Of course. It's right here:

and that # next to Florida State refers to last year's team, not this year

Hill4Heisman

Nov 12, 1:10pm

Well, Utah was a top 10 team 5 weeks into this season, so we have a top10 win?

Brandoblueblood

Nov 12, 10:07am

And FSU was ranked #2 preseason.

At the same time admitting we're good when it's convenient for them.

BYU is Schrodingers cat. Good when they need us to be good, otherwise bad.

Nov 12, 7:18am

I think you may have the wrong cat.

BYU is simultaneously good and bad unless they are observed, which is hard

Best part of being in B12 is we can play our way in on the field. We are not going to change perceptions in 1 year.
