games, but BYU did not move up a single spot in the post bowl rankings. Also, it was the first season in history where a team won 14 games.

I can only imagine. If we beat Washington we could have 2 NCs.

I dunno. That was a real great defense and a great offense.

No way can they do Florida-Florida State 2.0 if a 14-0 BYU is sitting there

I’m convinced that team was the most talented in BYU history.

And still took OT over Wyoming to win the WAC.

Without the '96 snub, and the '01 snub, no G5 busts the BCS

Yep, we stopped winning when it mattered most.

Sorry, I was thinking they had lost to MSU that last game.

We actually were a year or so too late getting into the Cotton Bowl

Wow, I just realized that "snub" spelled backwards is "buns". Carry on...

That season is what opened the door for those other schools

I was hoping FSU and ASU would both win so BYU could move up to 3

What could've been if we beat Washington.

BYU did more to "bust the BCS" than Boise State, TCU, and Utah combined.

I feel like I’m in a room with a bunch of old guys talking about Ty Cobb

BYU likely have been in if Nebraska didn't choke in the conference championship

Taysom's revenge on UT football is my only hope that God does love BYU football
