Ray Paulo back. Even though he doesn't add much offense in pass catching (maybe none), he was by far the best run blocking TE IMO. He was also solid blocker on Kick Returns.

I know most non-BYU fans would disagree, but I think BYU was the best team in

I don’t see how you could argue strongly against ASU.

As a fan I agree. Score board goes to ASU. I still believe BYU beats ASU this yr

Both ASU & BYU showed that they were the best two teams in the conference. Play the game 10 times and I think its split

I think BYU would have beaten ASU if they played in the CCG. Like tOSU, regular

Yep, exactly this. Just because Oregon won the regular season matchup, doesn’t

Our offense was not good enough.

I agree with this 100%. Here is a great article that explains BYU's redzone and

I think a healthy Moa and adding Gentry and Ryan can really help us power into

We also played ASU with their best WR - Tyson. He was a problem for our D.

This post is the best argument for BYU being the best team in the B12 at the end

BYU fans need to accept that we lost.

The best team

And they all lost at least twice on the field, so you can debate it from there.

ASU given Head to Head against us

Northern Illinois is not a better team than Notre Dame

Disagree, but "Best Team" has nothing to do with it. The team that wins advances

SouthernCoug

I’d say “the best team” is irrelevant. There are just those who win and those who lose. Or at least that’s how it should

And there are ties, which are broken by tiebreakers, which can be arbitrary.

B12 teams we lost to were 11-7 combined in conf. ASU lost to 9-9 combined.

I think we should've gotten in over Iowa State.

dYrtbYkerYder

Jan 2, 2:49pm

It’s a question of whether it’s more important to beat good teams or lose to good teams. The answer to that is arbitrary

Tiebreakers may be arbitrarily established, but almost always objective when utilized. Meaning they are designed to try

Will be interesting to see where BYU and ASU end up in the final rankings for this year. BYU is going to move way up

MT Ortho Coug

ASU should be right close to Texas

We get to at least 12, but hoping for 9.

I think BYU was the best team when playing their best. But BYU laid a few eggs

I wonder if BYU would've made the playoff if we had played Utah in the last game

dYrtbYkerYder

BYU was a great team this year. So was ASU. And Iowa State.

ASU earned the conference title and represented well in the CFP. Insisting that

No argument there. I was only referring to ASU.

I think it's clear BYU and ASU were the two best teams in the conference and both should have been in the CFP.

I agree when you look at the whole season. Too bad we didnt show up against ASU

If you can make the argument that the KU game was something of a fluke coming
