If BYU goes undefeated with this schedule, will they be national champions?

cougarnw

Yes, just like UCF

snowbird

8/21/18 11:39am

UCF didn't win on the road at UW and Wisconsin

cougarnw

8/21/18 11:41am

They beat a very good Auburn team

ExpectoCougarus

8/21/18 11:42am

In their bowl game; not regular season.

8/21/18 11:45am

Right, but a national champion doesn't get decided until all the games are

ExpectoCougarus

8/21/18 11:47am

What? Have you missed that we now have a playoff in CFB?

I feel like we're saying the same thing

ExpectoCougarus

8/21/18 1:28pm

But Cougarnw asked if we would "be" champs not just claim it.

Still Questing

8/21/18 2:16pm

No. Under the current system BYU needs at least two great back to back seasons and maybe even three.

Baron

8/21/18 11:39am

so basically the same as if we were in a G5 conference

franklyvulgar

8/21/18 11:40am

Yep.

Baron

8/21/18 11:43am

I like where your head is at. But no. There would have to be some

if they get named #1 by an approved NCAA selector like UCF was, yes.

molodyets

8/21/18 11:41am

They would need one or both of Wisconsin/UW to win the their conference

BYUheaven

8/21/18 11:43am

They'd get into the playoff for sure

CaliWG

8/21/18 11:43am

No they wouldn't. The SEC would likely get 2 and Big 10 champ would be in. Then

Baron

8/21/18 11:44am

And if Wisconsin is the BIG10 champ and Washington is the PAC12 champ?

Lance71

8/21/18 11:47am

Then Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, and Wisconsin are in. Or Notre Dame but I don't think they will be good.

Baron

8/21/18 11:48am

So if BYU beat Wisonsin AT Wisconsin, then you think Wisconsin goes over BYU?

Lance71

8/21/18 11:55am

Assuming they are beter than the PAC 12 Champ and Big 12 champ. All of them would go over BYU.

Baron

8/21/18 11:57am

Washington is gonna win the P12. Wisconsin is gonna win the Big Ten West.

CaliWG

8/21/18 11:49am

I would love to make the bet, but it is moot, since we aren't going to go undefeated.

Baron

8/21/18 11:49am

Yes they would.

pink22

8/21/18 11:56am

It would depend on how Wisconsin, Utah, Washington, and BSU do.

Lance71

8/21/18 11:46am

This. If these teams do well (esp. if Wisconsin wins the B1G and Washington the PAC, then I think BYU makes the playoff.

This is the real answer

No. No CCG and the bottom half of BYU's schedule is just too soft it will

Not sure about Wisky being "expected" to win the B1G. But still, BYU would have

Wisonsin is ranked #4. The highest ranked BIG10 team.

OSU is 5. That's a coin flip, not an "expectation." There has to be a less

Scratch

8/21/18 12:14pm

We actually agree here. Washington and Wisconsin would have to both be champions

8/21/18 12:17pm

One of the criteria is conference champion, so it'd be very, very difficult to

We would need Boise State Wisconsin Washington all to go 11-1/12-1 and the rest

I'd be fine just going to the playoffs. 😉

The play-off was designed with the idea in mind to keep us out. So no.

coolblue

8/21/18 11:59am

They might climb to #3-4 but would fall eventually to 5 or higher still top 10 but not really in it. I think 5 only if

I guess we'll just have to wait until the end of the season to find out...

If UW wins the Pac12 and Wisc wins the Big 10....and we crushed them...maybe

If? I think you meant to say WHEN

If we go undefeated, we will be in the playoff. Write it down.

cougarnw

8/21/18 12:57pm

That last sentence is the key. If Washington loses to Auburn, those 4 Pac-12

Still Questing

8/21/18 1:19pm

Committee favors "big wins", so if Wisc/Wash have great seasons, we'd be in.

I believe if Wisc and UW are very good
