No way. SEC has dominated college football for years. Big XII needs to earn this

brazilcoug

11/20/24 6:47am

Actually all they have done is have two top programs and beat up on middle tier

ordinary tri guy

11/20/24 6:52am

The SEC has had more teams win NCs than all the other conferences combined over

Durden

11/20/24 8:37am

Ya because they have been given a seat or two every single time.

Haysom Till

11/20/24 9:26am

Lots of other conference have had their chances: nobody else wins

Durden

11/20/24 11:16am

teams win national championships. conferences don’t. the best SEC team is usually the best team in the country

FieroCoug

11/20/24 1:31pm

this is my point...it's consistently Bama and X. Right now that is Georgia.

11/20/24 3:25pm

exactly. and the big 12 was like that with OU too. the perceived differences between conferences really boils down to

FieroCoug

11/20/24 4:11pm

Not true. The SEC is substantially deeper, especially after expansion

reddead

11/20/24 4:42pm

their best years were a decade ago. i do agree that the area and people behind the SEC are going to continue to help,

FieroCoug

11/20/24 7:14pm

B12 is 2-2 with the SEC this year and a former b12 team is at the top of the SEC

Mostlyaccurate

11/20/24 7:27am

Not sure that logic follows - the Big 12 is led by two PAC teams and an Independent (G5-type) team

krindorr

11/20/24 8:58am

Wrong. What have you done for me this year? That's all that matters

OldFogey

11/20/24 8:52am

This year the SEC is 10-5 in P5 OOC, the Big 12 is 5-9

krindorr

11/20/24 9:05am

Yes. Agreed. I was objecting to the notion the SEC deserves anything due to

OldFogey

11/20/24 11:03am

It's easy to dominate when you're given a spot in the finals every year.

Rocketman

11/20/24 1:49pm

SEC is the best conference - hands down. However, if they were adding more

truecougster

11/20/24 5:23pm

Yes. We need consistency across conferences—this is going to fall apart fast if

reddead

11/20/24 6:10pm

All we had to do was beat Kansas at home.

JKLCoug

11/20/24 6:47am

And ASU this week. And every single team on our schedule. That’s “all we had to do”. We’ve done a pretty dang good job

mvtoro

11/20/24 9:44am

that should apply to the teams losing to vandy and arkansas and kentucky and NIU and georgia tech

FieroCoug

11/20/24 1:51pm

If we were the 4 seed, we would have to play OSU anyway.

TADOW

11/20/24 6:51am

Playing OSU at the Horseshow would be way tougher than neutral site

Burton162

11/20/24 12:08pm

The committee is stuck on brands, not the best teams.

2FarGone

11/20/24 6:51am

Is BYU’s brand is known for always coming up short. They need to win to fix that

maxpowers

11/20/24 6:57am

Always coming up short? You mean the 1/10 times they have played this year?

2FarGone

11/20/24 7:02am

As a program historically

maxpowers

11/20/24 7:15am

Typically the sec and b1g play no one in non con

BYU '80

11/20/24 6:58am

They also play more home games & stick a gimme game in Nov to recoup while others beat each other up.

It's a TV show at its core. Not a sport.

IF BYU wins out, there is almost no chance Boise State stays ahead of BYU

donnerstag

11/20/24 7:20am

Also, no guarantee that Boise wins out

2FarGone

11/20/24 7:29am

Home against Oregon State will be a tough game.

BYUHgrad

11/20/24 9:26am

This^^

Junior Deputy

11/20/24 7:31am

Or Colorado or ASU

BYU Fan

11/20/24 8:25am

Colorado or BYU needs to win out, so one of them jumps BSU

Burton162

11/20/24 12:09pm

My thoughts: Don’t lose to a crappy Kansas team at home

arizonacougarfan

11/20/24 7:29am

I love the "be perfect when no one else has to be" argument coming from our own

BamaCoug

11/20/24 8:38am

Yep, had that offer without a conference.

11/20/24 9:35am

Why do you think Arod will change? I see not evidence that he can or will.

Les IsMore

11/20/24 11:58am

Why does the OC have to be LDS? Dewey Warren, Doug Scoville, Ted Tollner,

gopman

11/20/24 12:37pm

I don’t think A Rod will ever change which is why I have long advocated parting ways with him

runningryan

If we make the playoffs I’ll be ecstatic.

And the Big 12 Champ will get it - the current seedings are just for drama

BYU Fan

11/20/24 8:55am

SEC top teams lose, look how strong the conference is, BIG 12 top teams lose

kjjson

11/20/24 9:47am

Nobody “deserves” anything… we just need to win

Pretorian

11/20/24 9:23am

Meh, doesn't mean much 3 weeks out. BYU/Colorado win out, meet in CCG as top

BYUHgrad

11/20/24 9:24am

Whoever wins the CCG will get the 3 or 4 seed, unless they somehow have 3 losses

akmewg

11/20/24 9:32am

It baffles me how we are so quick to be offended that BYU who most of us

Michicoug

11/20/24 9:34am

Like it or not rankings come down to how well rounded a team is

runningryan

11/20/24 9:45am

Doesn't matter much. Everyone you play in that round and moving forward

Nagurski

11/20/24 10:12am

Hard for Big12 to make noise in playoff with only one team in it

Hill4Heisman

11/20/24 10:37am

Yep. Then any loss will lead to further justification in future. The standards are different & the deck is stacked.

Soupie

11/20/24 10:39am

This is exactly what I wrote about here:

reddead

11/20/24 11:25am

Let’s not worry until BYU goes 12-1. T doesn’t matter now

Bobmarleyjr

11/20/24 10:39am

Hmmm... B1G and SEC > all others = bad, but Big XII > MWC = good?

reddead

11/20/24 10:44am

While painfully true....do you mind? You're interrupting our rant.

Soupie

11/20/24 10:47am

My bad. Sorry!

reddead

11/20/24 11:08am

My prediction would be BYU ends up in the Alamo Bowl being 3rd place in Big12

SoValleyCOUG

11/20/24 11:53am

Where does 2nd place Big XII team go? Pop Tarts?

Burton162

11/20/24 12:11pm

Looks about right to me. Every one of those teams would be favored to beat BYU

Homo Erectus

11/20/24 12:03pm

We don't deserve better when we crap out pants against losing records

Las Pampas

11/20/24 12:06pm

We don't DESERVE anything. Can't lose like they did.
