Sometimes you have to work with the players you have. There is a difference with G5 and P4 players over all. It’s why Boise and SMU are doing great but not playing P5 schools like BYU is doing now.
Actually SMU is playing p4 schools and has beaten them all except BYU. They are in the ACC which is a p4 conference so except for a few early season games all of their schedule has against p4 teams.Boise’s schedule other than Oregon and Washington St is not so good. They lost a close one to Oregon and easily beat Washington St who also lost to New Mexico last week.
That’s true. The fact then they lost to us should put them behind us. Who are the CFP clowns?
I think it’s funny how all these “journalists” write about how fair or unfair the BCS ranking is for BYU. I for one think BYU has looked TERRIBLE for two weeks and MIGHT look like a top 20 team now, so I think 14 is generous. But like Aro says, NONE of the rankings matter for BYU–we win the next 3 games we are in the playoff, period. We win the next two and lose a close one to Colorado, we are MAYBE in. We lose one of the next 2 and we don’t deserve to be in ANYWAY. Today’s ranking is 100% immaterial to BYU.
Floyd with the extra point. If BYU looks like garbage, the committee certainly notices. If BYU looks great, the committee will reward what they see ON THE FIELD. Utah has proven to be a TERRIBLE team, and a miracle win against a terrible team coupled with a quicksand-like offensive showing in a bumbling loss to a 3-6 team did NOTHING to impress the committee.

Actually, it is material to seeding. Floyd posted a partial take from the guy who heads the CFP claiming they ranked BYU there because they won so many games by too close of scores. Then, later in the interview, he says they don’t look at close scores to rank teams. Such liars.
Good question.
Aro covered it: Chow but then I guessed 30 straight plays Chow called, that is how predictable he became toward the end.
As for rankings: Win out, pass up BSU be seated #3. Lose one, end up outside the CFP.
