I think one thing is clear, however. We absolutely would have made a NY6 if we
Had beaten Boise St. And the playoff was attainable if undefeated. The path as an Indy is harder but not impossible.

We’ll, It’s been a heckuva ride, but the committee set up for no BYU in NY6

We won’t go to the independence bowl. Mark that down.

We will see. Putting out positive vibes for Guaranteed rate bowl.

I think GRB also has a lower payout, so incentive may be there to avoid it for the program

But if they go to GRB then I get to go! 😂

Independence Bowl: $2.2 Million, GRB: $1.6M

Yeah, this reason alone makes me think the school (being frugal BYU) takes Indy. And I’d be fine with that reasoning

Lower payout but more byu fans at the game.

The GRB Bowl may have lower travel expenses to counter act the lower payout

Especially when you consider the prices at the pump these days for the equipment

Eh, flights to LA aren’t $600k more for the team 😅

Those are the payouts for the conference tie ins but the payout for BYU only may be much different for each bowl.

ACC gets a bowl spot whether they’re #5 or unranked. Same with Pac-12, so that doesn’t really matter to us

Honestly I’m not sure we are ranked higher beating Boise. Maybe but I’m not totally sold on the idea.

12/1/21 6:44am
With only 1 loss to the #9 ranked team we are certainly above 2 loss teams…
AZPTCOUG
12/1/21 6:48am
Maybe, impossible to know. But we all thought we’d be 10 or 11 last year.
WP17
12/1/21 6:50am
This isn’t last year. Better wins and a “better” loss. Not even comparable.

I 100% agree, but the committee is just so capricious

The committee has given us plenty of credit for our schedule this year. 2 losses

I tend to agree, but the committee does not always use very solid logic.

It's possible, but we need Alabama to lose, not win

If they had shown up and beat Baylor then it might have fixed it.

The committee is known to only hump P5 teams.

That is an honor code violation, we wouldn't have permitted it.
