I think ranking them in the top 25 is pretty generous

BYU would probably be undefeated with that schedule, but we're not even close to one of the best 25 teams in the country.

Upon further review, an undefeated BYU would be a LOCK for a NY6 bowl game

How do you figure? Undefeated Marshall isn't even listed in the rankings...

rggee

11/26/14 7:51am

Oh they finally made it at #24 this week.

rggee

11/26/14 7:52am

we were ahead of Ohio State before we started losing

The Shazad

Not in the CFP rankings.

rggee

11/26/14 7:59am

because those didn't exist yet

The Shazad

11/26/14 8:01am

I don't trust the CFP

rggee

11/26/14 8:02am

why? because a team whose best win is Middle Tennessee is ranked #24?

The Shazad

11/26/14 8:06am

Correct. There is a huge P5 bias and it is getting worse.

And people would say the same thing about BYU if they were undefeated

rggee

11/26/14 8:50am

umm, no - it appears it will be difficult to change your mind on that, though

The Shazad

11/26/14 8:57am

I guess we'll see if we're ever undefeated. My guess is we'd be #10-15 and

rggee

11/26/14 8:58am

I'd bet on 8

The Shazad

11/26/14 9:01am

#8 would probably be high enough to get us in a NY6 this year. But it might not

rggee

11/26/14 9:03am

agreed - looks like top 10 is enough this year - other years might be top 6 or 8

The Shazad

Come on people. There's no way that rggee isn't trolling.

WRONG-BYU would have been in a better spot, but there are NO guarantees for BYU.

Thank you, I was beginning to lose hope.

Sorry, but you are both wrong and failed to grasp the meaning of my reply.

You're the one who doesn't understand. He didn't say we had an auto bid. He was

But actually now days even though it isn't referred to as an auto-bid

BYUFam1

11/27/14 10:06am

Where is the guarantee that ANY team will make the CFP?

BYUFam1

11/26/14 8:24am

The most likely scenario if BYU is undefeated is

A couple things

Oh, all we have to do is win all of our games? Easy peasy!

winning does solve a lot of problems

Until we sit on our hands during Conference Championship Game weekend.

Notre Dame and BYU should play during Conference Championship weekend

This is the easiest year in the 3-year cycle, 5 at large openings

boscatar

11/26/14 10:28am

Nice analysis. I believe they would certainly be ranked ahead of UCLA, UGA, MSU.

tassell

11/26/14 11:11am

First statement I think is accurate. The playoff/P5 system is still terrible.

And you also think bronco is a good coach......

What?!? How does this make me a Bronco fan?

RE: An undefeated BYU would be a LOCK for a NY6 bowl game. No duh.

Agreed. Yet there are an alarming number of CBers who can't see it.
