While I'll never underestimate our ability to get screwed... Almost every pundint or writer has us in top 2 if not #1. You'd think the Big 12 is watching the response (along with their consultants) as a way to gather yet another data point as it relates to national respect and opinion. If it's all about not "diluting" the conference - seems like all of the respect BYU has been given as a top choice this time would be foolish on their part to ignore.
I believe we will get in... But I know better than to get cocky about it!
