How is he deciding that UConn has more talent that BYU? I think any poll that tries to rate "talent" on teams is going to be seriously flawed, in much the same way as recruiting rankings are flawed.

8-4 - this is blasphemy

Dr T-bone

8/22/14 3:45pm

8-4 against this schedule would be a disappointment.

12-0 we will NOT be in Miami in December.

"Emphasis on Conference Champions" No way 2 P5 Champs left out of the playoff

DoseOfReality

8/22/14 3:58pm

We would not be in the playoff. We'd be in the Peach/Fiesta/Cotton Bowl.

There is no way that BYU is making the playoff this year.

Does 12-0 put BYU in the top 10?

newey-west

8/22/14 4:04pm

Absolutely

rggee

8/22/14 4:06pm

There are 12 slots - 4 in the playoff, 2 will be conference based, 1 G5,

rggee

8/22/14 4:08pm

Good catch. I stand corrected.

newey-west

8/22/14 7:45pm

Thats what I was thinking, I think Boise could be a win, also UCF.

"comparing them to the other 65 Big 5 conference teams" SMOOOOKE!!!!

rggee

8/22/14 3:49pm

He's right and yet so wrong.

lawboy

8/22/14 3:51pm

Beat Houston and lose to VA? Ha!

rggee

8/22/14 3:53pm

Even utah fans would bet over on that. 8-4. Really?

I have been preaching 9-3. 8-4 is too low.

The Lone Wolf

8/22/14 4:43pm

He predicted 7-5 last year, I believe.

SoCalCoug

8/22/14 4:50pm

So since he said 7-5 and we were 8-4, then we should be at least 9-3 this year

Undefeated

8/22/14 4:58pm

I think BYU gets Boise St. Other than that, I can agree with his thought

Most important quote from above:

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 5:31pm

most byu fans don't believe 12-0 would get a playoff spot but a ny6 spot.

Undefeated

8/22/14 6:25pm

An undefeated BYU won't get a NY6 spot over a P5 conference runner up

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 6:35pm

(The above was meant as a response to "Undefeated")

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 6:36pm

Strength of schedule won't really even be determined until the end of the season

rggee

8/22/14 6:57pm

The committee's "rankings" will start being being released in October.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 7:05pm

If we are undefeated and left out I will be shocked and outraged.

rggee

8/22/14 7:15pm

I will be outraged but not shocked.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 7:18pm

#1: We only lose here to 1 team (2 max) out of the 5 at large spots.

rggee

8/22/14 7:21pm

For instance

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 7:30pm

An undefeated BYU would absolutely be taken over a two loss P5 team.

rggee

8/22/14 7:33pm

Keep drinking the Kool Aid.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 7:36pm

First we have to actually go undefeated. But if that happens and we are not

rggee

8/22/14 7:39pm

I guess I have more faith in humanity (or just the committee) than you

rggee

8/22/14 7:40pm

Concerning the committee, yes, you do.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 7:45pm

BYU would definitely have a shot of jumping a 2 win P5 team

Dr T-bone

8/22/14 8:09pm

Your presentation actually makes the opposite case as I see it.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 8:18pm

If you consider wins only and not losses

Dr T-bone

8/22/14 8:25pm

I wish they would do it that way.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 8:59pm

I've already hashed this out too many times before with others and have shown

Undefeated

8/22/14 8:06pm

"In certain years"?!?!

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 8:21pm

Why are we !! ?

Undefeated

8/22/14 8:33pm

The crux of the argument

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 8:38pm

sos and win loss record together. not just sos. all 2 loss teams vs an unbeaten

Undefeated

8/22/14 8:42pm

I guess at this point it is simply a matter of disagreement.

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 8:53pm

Guys... think about it.

what you fail to consider is

DJROSS

What SOS formulas are you speaking of?

Samurai Jack

8/22/14 9:35pm

CFP will use sos until

DJROSS

Is this your opinion or is there documentation of this?

Samurai Jack

Oh no he didn't

Reedme

He went off recruiting class ratings. BYU has consistently had poor class

CougarPilot

That's my point, once players start playing recruiting class rankings are useles
