are beer drinking, don’t give a hoot about political correctness Trump supporters who might make fun of something like “soaking” because they’re annoying and want to talk about inappropriate things.

These are not people who give 2 piles of crap that BYU and the church doesn’t embrace the LGBT rainbow.

All those who wanted ASU to win thinking it would help Big12 are kidding

This is a true statement

The logic is tough to deny

IMHO, TCU undid all the goodwill by losing by ~50 points in the title game.

Both things are true because that should’ve made the big ten look really bad

And really BYU is a player or two and a decision or two

Agreed. The public perception of BYU doesn’t have anything to do with what

Nothing against ASU. I just don’t care for Leavitt or Dillingham.

Or thousands of their biggoted trash fans.

I haven’t had any bad encounters with their fans.

I’m guessing you were under a rock during the week of the game this year

Not at all. I’m also not offended easily.

Just because you aren’t doesn’t mean the behavior wasn’t repugnant

BYU '80

Sure, but it’s still good for BYU if BIG 12 advances in the playoffs.

100% agree

When you and your teen son are challenged to fight by belligerent ASU fans, then

Absolutely. I don’t think that has anything to do with what’s better for BYU

Just curious, did you attend the game?

Yes I did. I live in Mesa so I wasn’t going to miss it

My question wasn't a response to one of your posts

If you’re asking me, yes I’ve attended away games but not that one.

I was at the game in Tempe this year, overheard a few things said by ASU fans

Is it weird that there are so many schools that have trash fans? Could it possibly be something else?

This is just fragile beyond fragile. Leavitt's fam's thing against BYU is silly

SinkingQuffa

Jan 1, 4:34pm

It’s not silly. It is petty and childish and disgraceful from an alum

BYU '80

Jan 1, 4:53pm

Yes, "petty" & "childish" are near-synonyms of silly. So you shouldn't be

1000% agree. We come off as so soft as a fan base holding onto that

For me, an ASU win would knock down the SEC a bit....but I'm happy with ASU loss

StarMan

It’s the G5 mentality.

Jan 1, 3:28pm

Do you honestly not root against the SEC?

EastMesaCoug

Sometimes. It depends on the situation.

Jan 1, 5:26pm

More Big 12 success and less success from others = good for BYU

EastMesaCoug

Jan 1, 5:53pm

Disagree. BYUs success stands on it’s own and what ASU does won’t impact any

Were you a strength of schedule guy this year? Same thing.

EastMesaCoug

Jan 1, 6:38pm

Isn’t Texas still a BIG XII team doing all this in their first year in the SEC?

LOLzzz

Jan 1, 3:28pm

What? TCU then lost 65-7 against UGA to kill any respect they gained

2FarGone

Jan 1, 3:29pm

TCU winning it would have had zero impact on this years selection or any future

Which is why college football is the best sport with the worst politics

Dumb take. If you can’t see the benefit of almost beating the SEC after the ACC

The committee only has so many degrees of freedom...field of play matters.

Field of play matters, but it’s not going to change how the committee operates.

My point, and the point of OP is that won’t actually happen. The bias won’t go

ASU losing did not help. And naw, TCU did help. But must consistently win.

I don't love ASU, but the play on the field matters in terms of perception.

WVU_Prof

Jan 1, 4:06pm

If the big XII is perceived as second rate then our wins are as well. We need both. Good conference and good wins

Why do you watch sports? So winning & losing really isn't the issue anymore?

They could have gone 4-0 and they'd still be arguing against further inclusion.

So just roll over?

Some still argue the earth is flat. Data makes it a weak argument. 4-0 would

ASU not getting beat by 60 absolutely helps the BIG12. I don’t think that’s

You are forgetting that the big 12 gets more money if they advance.
