Mandel's Mailbag: BYU playing “steaming pile of garbage” PAC12 teams

flyonawall

9/23/21 7:12am

To me that says more about how the Pac 12 is perceived than anything else

MojosDojo

9/23/21 7:15am

Yep. But why pt out the real problem when you can scapegoat it under the rug?

SinkingQuffa

9/23/21 7:44am

The winner of the PAC-12 south has never been seriously considered for Natty.

Which is why we can't keep playing them. Need the better competition in Big XII

SoBlueitHurts

BYU never really had at shot at an NC.

Yep. NY6 is the goal here, not CFP

What a great system!! Eliminated before a single snap is even taken! GO TEAM!

Not surprised - move the goal line. First it’s “you don’t play P5’s”, now it’s

Which is why we should be cheering for Utah & ASU in all the rest of their games

Well, I can hope AZ and AZ State win out. No go on cheering the other.

Yep, they would take any 2 loss SEC team before an undefeated BYU

Unfortunate reality, not even just being negative

Wow. We have such battered-fan syndrome. Be negative if you want, but beating 7

Conversation, sure. An undefeated BYU will be a topic of conversation.

LiveCoug

9/23/21 7:48am

Here is the logic : SEC Champ gets in. Big 10 Champ gets in.

Baron

9/23/21 7:51am

Also this ignores the real possibility of the SEC 3#. Georgia, Florida, and Bama all could be in before BYU gets in.

Baron

9/23/21 7:57am

Yes. But we'd have a whole lot of support from the national media

SinkingQuffa

9/23/21 8:08am

Just tell me which of those would the national media put us in over? I mean Penn State was booted for OSU one year and

Baron

9/23/21 8:09am

Not saying it would likely get us in — but it'd be a fun place for our program.

SinkingQuffa

9/23/21 8:22am

SEC has no chance to get three teams, sorry. One of them will have two losses

moknowssports

9/23/21 8:14am

It is more likely they get 3 teams than BYU gets in. IMO

Baron

9/23/21 8:16am

Don't disagree here...would take us being undefeated, our opponents doing well,

moknowssports

9/23/21 8:35am

Well, no. They don't need to have 2 losses. Bama 13-0, UGA 12-1, Texas A&M 11-1.

Last season: “you didn’t play a P5 schedule.” Now: “Well, besides the PAC 12.”

There will always be an excuse. Even when we're in the B12, if/when we have a magical season, they'll find something

Marc Spector

Even some of the P5 is out. Think TCU/Baylor getting jumped by tOSU in 2014.

Two wins against ranked teams in a row...they aren't very good. Mostly P5 teams...they aren't the cream of the crop.

Utah has and the season is young. They didn't want to give BYU the NC in 1984.

according to three utes in a basement they have.

I literally said, replace Oregon with Arizona and it would probably be enough.

kudzucoug

Yeah good point. USC could be the Oregon though.

They could be. But with how down the PAC12 is, they have little margin for

RGGeemer

9/23/21 10:11am

What about USC makes you think they are equivalent to Oregon right now?

kudzucoug

9/23/21 10:21am

But being in a conference, you are guaranteed to play all of the bottom dwellers

RGGeemer

9/23/21 10:23am

And for BYU, if they lose to us, they are automatically labeled as 'bad'. Why?

RGGeemer

9/23/21 10:25am

I never made that claim.

kudzucoug

9/23/21 10:35am

So why would Utah get lauded for beating ASU and we just get 'well maybe they
