Actually, it's easier to get into the playoff than the NY6

If BYU finished the year in the Top 4, then they are guaranteed a playoff spot. BYU has no guarantees for an NY6. It is an "at-large" designation. The Top Ranking G5 school has a guaranteed spot in a NY6 game. BYU has to make the Top 4 or it could be relegated to the Frisco Bowl.

No way BYU makes a NY6

We needed to add Boise and UCF

They have no guaranteed tie in even if they had a great schedule.

NY6 is not the CFP. Sorry if BYU adds Boise and goes undefeated and UCF loses

I think there are 3 at large spots for ny6 bowls not counting the playoffs.

y2kougar

9/29/20 3:33pm

And BYU has no certain route to any one of them

2FarGone

9/29/20 3:36pm

That's not correct

Ryan M

At large invites are based solely on ranking #. If BYU is #7, they're guaranteed

9/29/20 3:47pm

Both are impossible

9/29/20 5:14pm

Isn’t Boise state basically a fire gone conclusion at this point even

cougarfann888

9/29/20 3:02pm

forgone - that's the word you were looking for

BigTex

9/29/20 3:04pm

Correct

cougarfann888

9/29/20 3:07pm

May not have been correct, but Fire Gone sounds far cooler than foregone.

Benfica1

9/29/20 3:24pm

That would be "foregone," actually.

Byron McNertney

9/29/20 3:32pm

Yep

Hoopster

9/29/20 3:07pm

I'd hope so. But who knows?

SinkingQuffa

9/29/20 4:44pm

for sure. but fans can dream.

9/29/20 3:04pm

A good thing right now is that BYU is ranked

Carnac

9/29/20 3:04pm

Beat an otherwise undefeated BSU by 14 points and now we’re talking

puntersarepeople

9/29/20 3:20pm

BYU totally makes a NY6 game.

Benfica1

9/29/20 3:23pm

Homie. Read my post.

Future_Tacos

9/29/20 4:05pm

Nahh I think we have a chance as long as we beat a good BSU team

y2kougar

9/29/20 3:30pm

Don't we count as a G5? If we are the highest ranked G5 we are in, no?

Geldir

9/29/20 3:34pm

No--we aren't considered G5 and have zero guaranteed access.

Mr. Scoobs

9/29/20 3:36pm

Highest rank left over gets at large spots after conf commitments are filled

Ryan M

9/29/20 5:58pm

We are neither G5 nor P5

2FarGone

9/29/20 3:37pm

Actually we are not considered G5.

baldcoug74

9/29/20 3:38pm

Correction: highest ranked champion of a G5 conference gets the NY6 autobid

So you're saying there's a chance...

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

Only way to show style points when beatIng these lesser teams

BYUvermont

9/29/20 3:56pm

Likely correct... it would have helped for us to beat a ranked Army team....

9/29/20 4:21pm

Wanna talk about the future?

9/29/20 4:33pm

Undefeated BYU

Deeppost

9/29/20 6:14pm

BYU could make it with a #12 ranking, depending on the rankings of the P5 champs

Doogal McCougar

9/30/20 9:13am

Chaos is what happened in 1984. We all know how that turned out for BYU.

Soy Celeste

9/30/20 9:27am

Aye. Cheers!

Doogal McCougar

9/30/20 9:34am

Not without a top 20 P5 team win and then it would be a shocker.

blackshirts

9/29/20 6:32pm

Agree. The goal this year is to have people think about it or talk about it.
