Nick Carparelli Executive Director of Bowls does not see BYU in a NY6 bowl.

The worst thing to happen would be to go undefeated and end up in potato bowl...

I've been saying for quite sometime now that as an Independent, we are literally on the outside looking in...

Independence is a good thing for BYU, but the worst thing about independence is

idacoug

Agree. We play way more big games and P5's during the season as an Independent,

And nobody cares about the regular season games we play... they matter none because Conference play is king

I use been in complete agreement. As an independent it’s impossible to be in the

Only positive is that it would shut up Jarom Jordan

11/18/20 2:38pm

It is only based on ranking. Nothing else. The bowls don't get to choose anythin

rcbyufan

11/18/20 2:13pm

False. Our ranking cannot force the committee to choose us

SlantRoute

11/18/20 2:26pm

Wow. You are wrong on this. How do people still not know how this works?

rcbyufan

11/18/20 2:32pm

Explain please

True but expect us to be much lower in their initial poll. They are not the ap

LaserCoug

11/18/20 2:40pm

And that's fine. If you think the committee will rank us low, then yes we will

rcbyufan

11/18/20 2:46pm

I think your misunderstanding. They have no obligation to take us.

Blueto

11/18/20 3:04pm

This is incorrect. The *CFP* are directly controlling of NY6 participants

Wonderful

But independence! Undefeated! Exposure!

11/18/20 2:14pm

If BYU is top 4, they are not going to NY6 for sure, they are in the playoff.

Lance71

11/18/20 2:14pm

That is what he said. Unless they make the playoff. No big bowl game.

dave

11/18/20 2:15pm

That's pretty accurate. BCS has got some backs to scratch that are way ahead of

Taysom 4 Heisman

11/18/20 2:18pm

Saying, "unless they make the playoff no big bowl game" is NONSENSICAL

rcbyufan

11/18/20 2:31pm

It sounds like outside of the 2 CFP games the other NY6 games do have a choice.

dave

11/18/20 2:35pm

Yeah. That is incorrect. For BYU to be left out it needs to be done at the

11/18/20 2:44pm

How confident are you that we will be 7 without adding quality games? I'm not.

dave

11/18/20 2:47pm

I'm not confident of that fact at all. What I'm saying is the ranking determines

rcbyufan

11/18/20 2:50pm

I don't think this is correct. They have to take the highest ranked G5 team but

RE: I don't think this is correct. They have to take the highest ranked G5 team

rcbyufan

11/18/20 3:09pm

Sigh. The NY6 Bowls are obligated to take teams based on rankings. That's it.

BYUMizzou

11/18/20 3:20pm

It doesn't HAVE to be, but the way this season is playing out, it seems likely that BYU will be more attractive

Byron McNertney

11/18/20 2:49pm

There's no game(s) we're going to be able to add which will magically get us into the top 4

Indy Coug

11/18/20 2:24pm

Not without a lot of P5 chaos. Goal needs to be top-8 to stay in the CFP Rankings for a NY6 qualification

Only hope would be if Oregon's schedule opened up.

I don't know who he is but dave's description of what he said is either way off

Go have a listen... Link

9 minute mark of the interview.

That's Cartel Speech. I wonder if it's legally actionable.

It is at the start of hour 2 of Criddle's podcast yesterday. Have a listen.

dave

11/18/20 2:16pm

I'm pretty sure the REAL design of the big bowls is to make money.

Byron McNertney

11/18/20 2:17pm

Obviously. We’re not going to do a NY6 bowl and the CFP

TwinsRight

11/18/20 2:19pm

It sounded like he said top 4 playoff or nothing

There will be a huge uproar if BYU is 10-0 and gets left out of a NY6. The

Your last sentence doesn’t follow the rest of the post.

StalwartBraveTrue

11/18/20 2:22pm

We need a playoff spot.

dave

11/18/20 2:22pm

True but Carparelli’s statement suggests there is no way to do that unless we

StalwartBraveTrue

11/18/20 2:33pm

If BYU is a top 8 team in the rankings, they can't keep them out.

Turnpike Lane

11/18/20 2:23pm

Why not?

boogers

11/18/20 2:25pm

CFP Rankings are used for selection is why. If BYU qualifies based on those rankings, they are in.

Turnpike Lane

11/18/20 2:26pm

That says eight teams ranked lower than 12 have been invited. So if we are

bluesloth

11/18/20 2:34pm

Only guarantee is top-9 or better. 12th or higher not getting in unless in a P5.

Turnpike Lane

11/18/20 2:36pm

Where does it say that?

bluesloth

11/18/20 2:37pm

History of the CFP at-large selections.

Turnpike Lane

11/18/20 2:39pm

History also shows zero non-P5/ND at-large invites.

bluesloth

11/18/20 2:44pm

Right, and this year there are even more at-large spots than normal because of

You CANNOT qualify for an at-large outside of top 12. This is because At-large

So currently BYU is guaranteed?

StalwartBraveTrue

11/18/20 2:51pm

CFP Rankings have not come out yet. So until they do, no guarantees

Turnpike Lane

11/18/20 2:55pm

Ah, yes, I’m ahead of myself. Great point.

StalwartBraveTrue

11/18/20 5:51pm

No. We don't have a ranking yet. The committee's ranking is all that matters

rcbyufan

11/18/20 2:58pm

Not true. BYU has to be top 4 to make a playoff spot

SlantRoute

11/18/20 2:29pm

A top-9 team has never been left out of the CFP. #10 has a couple times. Be in the CFP top-9, and you are in.

This is false. They are contractually obligated to take the highest ranked team
