Many fans need to accept a new paradigm of being in the “big leagues” now &…

Well said. Let AJ pushing back against SAS on national TV be the start of us

Not sure that mattered. Weren't we #5 in polls at one point?

The last thing we want is byu fans on Twitter trying to defend byu.

No thanks, I’ll leave Ute whining behavior to Utes and will hope online whining like the OP doesn’t spread among Y fans

And what does saying nothing do? Difference bt standing up & whining.

Soupie

Is there a difference? A half-dozen schools all had reasons they could point to

I also go to games & donate & interact on social media and raise BYU fan kids…

Who said we didn't deserve to be in in the conversation?

russkiejedi

12/29/24 4:24pm

We weren’t in the conversation. And I’ve seen a lot of BYU fans saying

12/29/24 7:13pm

We were in the conversation the entire month of October and November. . .

Zoobieman

I’m talking about the convo at the end of November. We were written off

Would you have voted to put us in?

Not to put us in. I’m just saying we should have been in the convo along with

Our own “fans” actively fight against this team, our players, and our coaches. How are we supposed to demand respect

"Actively fight against this team?" What are you talking about?

I don't know what you mean, that's why I asked the question, and why I gave

You said we "actively fight against the team." By that you meant we don't stick

We lost two of our last three games of the season. Was there any schools that lost 2 of three and made it in?

Some of us understand not getting in CFP but being #17 & not even discussed w/ 3 loss teams ahead of us is insulting.

It was a rough 3 game stretch. Didn't look like we belonged but I agree our resume put us in the discussion of last

Think the issue was that the one loss dropped byu like a hot rock when others stayed in the convo after worse losses

Soupie

I personally believe if BYU finished the season 11-2, we would have been the #10

I agree with you...but, what do we, as fans, do about it? As Kalani said:
