Could, but don't have to, and most likely wouldn't

In that scenario, there are several P5 teams ranked above BYU in consideration for just a couple at-large bids. What makes you think BYU would be a real possibility, let alone a likely choice, based on relevant history?

POLL: I understand that BYU has no guaranteed NY6 access while the AAC/G5 does?

this feels like a question at the DMV

It's the highest ranked G5 CHAMPION

This is true, and part of the reason why BYU does not qualify.

You should follow it up with this poll:

Uh, ok. Completely disagree.

You really think BYU going undefeated in the AAC or MWC is more likely to get them a top 4 ranking

byujacob

11/30/15 11:24am

BYU undefeated gets in under any scenario

pink22

11/30/15 11:26am

So you think undefeated Memphis would get in this year?

BYU reputation >>>> Memphis reputation

that's crazy

I'm as down on BYU currently as anyone. But all things being equal, BYU football

pink22

11/30/15 11:33am

I think part of that is because BYU is independent, which would change as a member of the AAC.

TaiJuan

11/30/15 11:34am

My assumption is we still play a decent team or two non conference

pink22

11/30/15 11:40am

2001 would have to disagree

buhler08

11/30/15 11:35am

2001 was a different animal

pink22

11/30/15 11:41am

You're right.. it was 10 teams instead of 4..

You act like an Ny6 is now meaningless. This is your opinion and that is fine,

yfootball

11/30/15 11:29am

You made two claims in your post

buhler08

11/30/15 11:29am

Fair points. Sure, I'd rather be in a NY6 bowl than the Vegas or Hawaii bowl, but I strongly believe

byujacob

And while they might miss out on the G5 guarantee, a solid top ten season would put them in play for at-large bErth.

TaiJuan

11/30/15 11:38am

I'll agree with that, for the most part

buhler08

With this addendum:

Byron McNertney

11/30/15 11:26am

Your options could certainly be better worded...

BYUFam1

11/30/15 11:27am

True. and already mentioned above.

Has BYU ever been "left out" or "looked over"?

CosmoK

11/30/15 11:28am

BYU HAS to be top 12 minimum (most years higher) to get an at-large

BYUFam1

11/30/15 11:32am

Is that the "math" or the "rule"?

CosmoK

11/30/15 11:45am

I know with 100% certainty that they CAN NOT pick BYU in your scenario

BYUFam1

11/30/15 11:49am

Could, but don't have to, and most likely wouldn't

buhler08

If BYU is never the highest ranked non-P5, then this discussion is pointless
