Both are impossible

For the playoffs, there's this thing called the committee. It's what was implemented to prevent a "non-deserving" top-4 team from making the playoffs. An invitational committee would be a joke in any other pro or amateur sports league, but it's the reality in FBS football.

No way BYU makes a NY6

Future_Tacos

We needed to add Boise and UCF

9/29/20 3:02pm

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

archie

meant for op

archie

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

2FarGone

9/29/20 3:27pm

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

9/29/20 5:55pm

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

I bet you don't do well on multiple choice quizzes.

9/29/20 3:39pm

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

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

9/29/20 3:41pm

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.

9/29/20 7:12pm

We've gotten to the point where hayseed w/relatives in So. Idaho....

9/29/20 7:33pm

Hate to break it to you but BYU isn’t making it regardless
