I want to say this about Texas state...

And I’ll add this, if you are a top 25 team you don’t lose to Texas State

I’m hoping playing in front of a few fans will help motivate the team

yeah, they are not a good team.

We need to get an early lead and rest as many starters as possible, especially

Funny that fans bring up a penalty that is over 10 years old

I thought the exact same thing.

Pellet grills - Rectec or Camp Chef?

RecTeq is the best grill I've ever had. I've had Traeger, Yoder and others.

I don't get why some of you are so bothered by B1G and P12 teams being ranked

Byron McNertney

8:50am

I don’t care that they are ranked. I just find the “They haven’t played anyone” argument against BYU or Coastal Carolina

JohnnyComeLately

8:53am

Who's arguing against BYU being ranked? All I hear is fawning over BYU. Danny

Byron McNertney

8:58am

This is the only thread I personally have talked about BYUs ranking in Gen pop.

JohnnyComeLately

9:08am

The dumb part is what’s already happening, which is moving up in the rankings

Corn Pop

8:54am

Again, who cares? The polls are inaccurate regardless.

Byron McNertney

9:03am

Why do you care so much about how much other people care?

JohnnyComeLately

I could make a case either way. But I just don’t care. Rankings this year are a

Real opportunities for BYU to move up in rankings this week

Iowa State/SMU may jump us with a win. Also, I suspect the winner of Michigan vs

Edited--Yeah, I think on SMU and Iowa St you might be right.

Goliath

8:55am

SMU is undefeated, 5-0 just like us

ZacSeljaas'Stache

8:57am

Yeah, I misspoke

Goliath

8:57am

SMU and Iowa State would both jump us, and rightfully so. They'd both have a win

ZacSeljaas'Stache

8:58am

Yeah, I edited the above. I agree with you.

Goliath

8:59am

SMU doesn't have a loss.

I will have a good laugh if BYU is ranked higher than the winner of MI/MN

I wonder how much BYU's push to play when everyone else was cancelling

For sure. BYU is being rewarded.

I have said this many times....BYU is getting a huge pass this year

I'm not sure what being given a pass means

Is it me or is Glenn Beck a fear monger?

BulldogCoug79

8:26am

I think much of talk media is fear-mongering

Squeegee

Most of the media are fear mongers. It is there business model.

I cannot listen to him

Adrielle

Yes, along with most talk media when referring to the opposite party!!

So true. Pander to what will keep people coming back for more.

Grungymtnman

Yes. That’s his whole MO. I used to like him but got tired of it.

Is anyone in media positive?

maxpowers

When he first started becoming big, we'd watch his show all the time

Cougarclaw

8:30am

His show was on every afternoon for the first few years of our marriage.

maxpowers

8:33am

About 50% of the time his show is entertaining. The other 50% is not listenable.

shoganai

8:32am

I listened to something from Brian Steltzer this morning. Same playbook, worse

TailgateU

8:33am

Yeah, because people think they are informed if they watch a nightly news show.

Ash

I haven't even heard or thought about Glenn Beck in months. Is he still a thing?

Incentivize

One of many making money by stoking people’s fear and anger. Disgusting.

Yup. He's not the only one by any stretch. But he's terrible.

Of all the scenarios to get BYU in the playoff, the only scenario likely is expansion of playoffs with an autobid

Baron AKA "Dear Leader"

This expansion needs to happen. I also think it would be easier for the BYUs and even Utahs of the world to win the

Virginia Ute

8:25am

Since BYU is not G5 how does a G5 autobid help them?

Soy Celeste

Because they would join a conference the moment that happened.

good thing voters are still placing them in the top 25. Whattajoke

Cougarclaw

pac12 and b1g should be ineligible.

smr

biases aside, given the Pac12 will only play 7 games...that is 23.3% - 36.4%

Avery

PLUS, the 7th game for everyone except the divisional leaders is meaningless.

Avery

I'm worried their records will look attractive. 6-1 vs 2 loss BigXII teams.

I'm Dynamite

They cancelled when the risk was decreasing, and resumed ...

A 7 game series with no rest between games really tested the depth of both team's roster.

jollaksentie

I would love to keep the no-rest format in future post seasons. Its great.

IrishBlue

It's tough scheduling wise with coast to coast travel. Could be done if they're willing to do early afternoon start time
