BYU lost two games. Had they only lost one, BYU would be in.
BYU has access to a national title if they have a one or fewer losses.
Yeah, the SEC and B1G teams can have 2. A few blue bloods can have 3. It’s a P2 and name brand world. This should not be news to anyone and it certainly isn’t new. .
BYU doesn’t get to lose to Kansas and get in. Alabama does.
So don’t lose to Kansas.
The system is 10 times better now than it ever has been including the year BYU won the Natty (which required an insane amount of coincidence the same year BYU had its only undefeated season in history)
Sure you can argue BYU should be in at 12.
There’s no way the team that has been on the field the last month would win a single playoff game.
So it’s also fine they are out.
Go win the bowl game and make it a great season.
And learn to win as a favorite next year.
