Wow from ESPN article

As for BYU, if the Cougars win at Washington on Saturday, they will have upset two top-10 teams in Wisconsin and Washington. If they were to run the table — in spite of the Week 2 loss to Cal — would their résumé (which would include wins at Boise State and Utah) be strong enough to have the committee consider them for a top-four spot? It's unlikely, but it shouldn't be ruled out entirely. Sorry, UCF, but the strength of schedule problems the committee referenced last year will likely be a hangup again this year.

Ranking the Power 5 conferences by College Football Playoff potential

Through four weeks of play, we're starting to get a clearer picture of what each conference needs to happen the rest of way to get a representative into the playoff.

Run the table. Maybe if Wilson started every game.

9/23/18 12:11am

one game at a time, you never know

SingleStrapBackpack

9/23/18 12:15am

That's my motto, especially as a fan. I don't want to get caught

9/23/18 12:38am

Yep. Why ride the roller coaster? Just enjoy em as they come and you'll end up where you end up. Why sweat it?

SingleStrapBackpack

9/23/18 12:42am

THIS is why Indy is better and scheduling like we are rather than the JJ method

Pretorian

9/23/18 7:10am

JJ schedules are for bandwagoners and analysts

qom

9/23/18 11:30am

No game is unwinnable despite what JJ says

Coogar2

9/23/18 1:12pm

Marc Wilson? Maybe Jim McMahon were starting... or Steve Young....

Benfica1

Zach is the savior and he will have plenty of time to prove it

Coogar2

In other words, “It sucks UCF you’re in the American Conf., BYU’s Indy is better

bluebrotha

certainly didn't help that their road game against UNC got cancelled last week because of the hurricane

SingleStrapBackpack

9/23/18 12:16am

UCFs problem wasn’t the AAC, it’s their non conf schedule.

Mr. Scoobs

9/23/18 7:16am

Which has/had 2 P5s...

Pretorian

9/23/18 7:47am

No, the AAC was as much of a problem as their OOC.

Y-Phile

9/24/18 4:18pm

Do you realize UCF had a tougher SOS even in the AAC than BYU did last year?

Mr. Scoobs

9/24/18 4:28pm

I like this year's schedule. Last year's not as much. What's your point?

Benfica1

9/24/18 9:03pm

There are not enough "strong" G5 teams to pull together a conference that would

Boomcannon

9/23/18 7:48am

Exactly the problem, you list BSU, but they are no longer the top MW team

Iki_Balam

9/23/18 8:11pm

Who do you think it is?

chilango

9/23/18 8:38pm

BSU not dominate. USU and SDSU are in the mix

Y-Zag

9/23/18 8:42pm

They are still clearly the top program in that conference, IMO. Amiright?

chilango

9/23/18 8:47pm

IDK. I feel they have fallen fairly hard in the last 2 years.

Y-Zag

9/23/18 8:56pm

Oh! Indy haters wrecked!

BlackBart

9/23/18 11:02am

If UCF had beaten Wisc and AZ they’d be getting the love.

Mr. Scoobs

9/23/18 2:35pm

Good publicity.

9/23/18 12:15am

Why not.

HA that could me. Highly unlikely but I'm stoked that they mention us!

I like the sound of this running the table thingy. Let’s do it!

Was that written by a blue goggled CBer?

Again, a 12-0 BYU would be passed over for the G5 champ. BYU cant get in NY6.

Y4LYFE

9/23/18 7:05am

I don't believe this. But it would be great to be in a position to find out if

Boomcannon

9/23/18 7:52am

Bowl games like to make money; BYU makes more money for bowls than G5s

2FarGone

9/23/18 8:15am

but when it comes to NY6 we’re not competing for the G5 spot, we’d have to take a P5 slot

byujag

9/23/18 8:21am

Lol you can't honestly believe this can you?

Machiavelli

9/23/18 9:21am

I think our SOS is still below that of many P5 teams, but otherwise agree

Resurgens

9/23/18 6:18pm

You might want to check ESPN...they have BYU as a bubble playoff team.

Machiavelli

9/23/18 10:34pm

Would be awesome to see that debate become a reality

Resurgens

9/24/18 7:15am

Ha. Really? Is there an option for weakest post of the day?

Benfica1

9/23/18 9:42am

NY6 bowl games don’t get to choose who plays after all the

BYUCLA

You obviously do not understand the current system

BYUFam1

9/23/18 4:13pm

Undefeated BYU in the playoff? Maybe, maybe not. But I'm not sure you really

Resurgens

Bro do you even fan?

Iki_Balam

9/23/18 8:15pm

Next two years schedules are even harder. Lets run the table boys!!!

9/23/18 8:34am

Love my Cougs, but this is not a top 4 team. Let's not be delusional.

Real Men Wear Blue

9/23/18 8:54am

Thanks for that call. Note: BYU fans didn't write the article.

Benfica1

9/23/18 9:43am

Who, me? Delusional? 🙂

chilango

9/23/18 9:44am

Not going to happen, even in the unlikely event we run the table

XORCoug

9/23/18 9:11am

One tiny detail...we have to run the table

Modiolus

9/23/18 9:12am

We beat McNeese. Why doubt it

Coogar2

9/23/18 1:14pm

We beat Wiscy at Camp Randall, we can do anything.

Y-Zag

9/23/18 2:30pm

Taking a knee instead of adding 7 more at the end of the game yesterday

Y05

9/23/18 3:47pm

Very unlikely for that all to happen, but man it's nice for it even to be
