There is no conference championship to play for...

there is no national championship to play for as BYU would need to go undefeated with an amazing schedule to make the playoffs... and well... BYU won't ever go undefeated again, I'm very confident in that.

1 loss BYU and they are going to play in the Miami, Vegas, Hawaii or Poinsettia bowls. So what is there to play for again?

If Bronco were beating Utah, that might be true.
