And some comments from Jerry Palm of CBS:

 

BYU is trying to make a case for inclusion in the playoff — or at least a New Year's Six game.  The Cougars pummeled Louisiana Tech 45-14 on Friday night to improve to 3-0.  BYU has won those games by an average of just over 41 points. The problem BYU will have with the CFP Selection Committee is that its cobbled-together schedule is not good. The Cougars will take a trip to Boise State on Nov. 7 and are supposed to go to Houston on Oct. 16. They just announced a home game on Dec. 12 vs. San Diego State, but the Aztecs are expected to be a bit down from their usual standard this season. Nobody else grabs your attention.

If BYU can manage to go undefeated, especially if it continues to dominate, I would be surprised if it was left out of the New Year's Six. Unlike the Group of Five teams, there is no automatic entry for the Cougars. As an independent, they have to get high enough in the rankings to earn an at-large spot.  Having the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl as semifinals this season helps because it takes away a potential second contracted spot in the New Year's Six for the four conferences normally tied to those bowls.
