give BYU even a New Year's Day bowl game after a season of only playing 6 power conference opponents. They have already stated that they put a big premium on being a conference champion, as an independent BYU cannot be a conference champ. 11-1 conference champion UCF will get picked over an undefeated BYU team, believe it. Don't even think about an undefeated BYU team getting picked over a conference champion power conference team to actually be in the playoffs.
This current situation of having nothing to play for except a terrible bowl game is getting old quickly for both the fans and the players.
