BYU needs to take a page from Boise St: win big. Win when you should, dominate.

Preppy All-American

I'm sure Tom will try to add other quality opponents this year, but it's such a crap shoot with schedules now.

Coaches and players need to have more games like yesterday to demonstrate if the team is legit.

Listening to Brock Huard’s College Sports Today show and he and his guests all

objectively, I'd love to see a newbie in there. We've had the playoff 6 times

I don't think BYU will get in, but this is the year that they'll get looked at.

Benfica1

9/8/20 12:28pm

Except the Big10 and Pac12 will probably end up playing and ruining everything

SlantRoute

9/8/20 2:14pm

Still 50/50 on if the CA schools can get political permission to play

Aren’t NFL teams playing games in CA?

We need to keep this talk going however we can.

O Gaucho

9/8/20 12:29pm

Winning (and if possible, winning big) will keep BYU in the conversation.

Benfica1

9/8/20 12:32pm

Yeah having our next game on CBS couldn’t be more perfectly timed if we can

YbeatsU

9/8/20 12:38pm

I don't think we'll have any issue with Army. Tonga was stuffing that triple

I'd be happy if we had the Vegas Bowl against a decent opponent

Jesse Pinkman

9/8/20 12:29pm

Like a PAC or MWC team. Oh wait.

Benfica1

9/8/20 12:32pm

Vegas Bowl will have an SEC opponent

ZacSeljaas'Stache

I bet the Pac12 ends up playing

SlantRoute

Huard played in the 1996 game against BYU that ruined our perfect season

donnerstag

9/8/20 12:33pm

Huard started the next year against us in Provo and destroyed BYU

Ugh. Yeah, I was at that game and it sucked. Our d.b.'s were horrible that yr.

Herbstreit said they should be in the discussion as well as a undefeated.

definitely. This is not the year to be nice guys or to be conservative...

icecougar

Gotta win. Lose any of these games and the buzz will be gone.

Tricky

9/8/20 1:49pm

Which is why the Bushman injury kills us right now

SlantRoute

9/8/20 2:17pm

If we make a big bowl I can guarantee we’ll miss him

puntersarepeople

9/8/20 4:38pm

I really thought we'd have more success at tight end. We have some good

Tricky

9/8/20 6:31pm

And teams will be less likely to want to schedule us now...if we keep this up

SHHHH! too many players and coaches will start believing the hype! This is BYU's

Let's pray none of them are reading CB at least.

Soupie

I'd be ecstatic about it. I also think BYU would get their doors blown off. But hey, they wouldn't be the first ones

This seems a bit premature...

This schedule is sooooooooo bad it's embarrassing to say CFP. There is not one

Whew, I knew you'd show up to whine about something.

Benfica1

9/8/20 3:33pm

Some people deal with facts and some believe in dumbo. It's not whining it's

9/8/20 3:55pm

Nah, it is whining. If you could see the pros and cons, I'd think you were

Benfica1

9/8/20 4:08pm

Okay you say whining... I say stupid. This is supported by you never

Dude, you should really chill out.

Ungoy

Do you have anything constuctive about the CFP and BYU SOS?

Please leave Trump out of this football discussion.

Covid-19 and conferences cancelling is on TH? Maybe stop posting for a while.

Is that your big input? Don't try to be the funny guy. Give me some facts to

Not trying to be funny in the slightest. Think about how ridiculous you sound.

Who spit in your Cheerios? On TH? We should go ahead and blame him for the loss

Liberty's AD didn't seem to have a probblem getting three P5 games.

blackshirts

9/8/20 5:28pm

Liberty already had those ACC games scheduled

puntersarepeople

9/8/20 6:30pm

You're correct.... The point is the schedule is too weak for CFP consideration.

blackshirts

9/8/20 6:37pm

I don't expect CFP, although it's interesting to hear the pundits bring it up.

TailgateU

9/8/20 6:52pm

Yep unless they add someone

puntersarepeople

9/8/20 7:25pm

Yep. Holmoe really dropped the ball by not helping Navy prepare.

Even playing in a NY6 bowl would be a big step forward

Srg

*shudders to remember 2009 when similar discussions were happening. And then

Fortunately, we don't have a Florida State team on the schedule this season. 🙂

I would take a 4 seed Rose Bowl matchup, just to see Utah fans heads explode.

where can I listen to this show? tried googling it but couldn't find

HONOMO

I listen to it on the ESPNU channel on Sirius Radio.

thanks

If they did it they’d essentially just be throwing the non-P5 a bone because

Just need to win and the rest will take care of itself

Expand the CFP to 8 teams?

Orem58thBall

They must not know the Kalani version of BYU... I hope this team proves me wrong
