What does not change is the playoff committee's criteria, including whether the team is a conference champ and whether the team won a conference championship game. We can do neither.

In addition, the MWC has folks on the committee with ties to the MWC. BYU has no one.

Also, I am not only referring to a playoff. The playoff committee also chooses the NY6 bowl participants. Even this year we would have zero shot at a NY6 bowl with two losses. However, that seems to be no problem for BSU.
