We can still make the CCG if ASU loses @Arizona the following week while we beat Houston. Or if K-State beats ISU the last week.

You don't have to root for Utah to win, just ISU to lose.

Love it. Great way to look at it.

The rule is if it directly benefits BYU then yes. Good things for BYU>bad things

We should be BYU fans first, not Utah haters first.

CougarTwins

Correct

IIRC we made fun of utah for back-dooring into PAC10/12/whatever titles/Rose

Why do we want ISU to lose?

HeyU

If we win and ISU loses we clinch a spot in Arlington

in the event we lose again, we don't lose a tiebreaker to ISU.

CougarTwins

Unless we lose to asu in which we case we are out I believe whether isu loses or

BYU '80

3:19pm

we would need ASU to lose to UA in that case.

CougarTwins

I think that game is a tossup. It's a rivalry game and in Tucson.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

If asu is playing for the ccg. No way they lose that game

BYU '80

3:29pm

Arizona is going to want to ruin their shot at the CCG just as bad.

If we lose to ASU and ISU loses @ Utah

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

If byu beats asu and loses to Houston byu is in the ccg if ISU loses again

BYU '80

If BYU loses to ASU and ASU loses to Arizona, we get in if Iowa State loses too

If they lose to KSU then we don't care if they lose to Utah, but they play Utah

BYUFootballisBack

3:21pm

No. You have to root for BYU to win out. We control our destiny. We don't need Utah.

Skeptical Optimist

Whitt will probably throw the game because he knows a win by Utah could help BYU.

Texas Hammer

3:17pm

My thoughts exactly.

Zerigke Ally Zerigke

Does it really matter? Either we win Saturday and it is taken care of or we lose

Sparkling Delirium

Good point.

Pollster

3:18pm

We’d need Arizona to beat ASU for it to matter

cougaman

3:18pm

It "could" matter if ASU beats us and loses to Arizona, but also might not

BYUFootballisBack

3:22pm

I'm not going to because I know how to Rivalright.org

BlueFever

Just root for ISU to lose.

Not really just gives BYU a little more breathing room if they lose to UU or KSU
