Pretty sure he meant to say Liberty.

I listened to this national pundit talk about BYU. He confirmed my thoughts.

The Y's Insider

Seems like a reasonable take.

gangbusters

11/12/20 9:08am

I disagree. Too many buy into this "P5" crap

CaughtForaTouchdown

Accurate.

My thoughts exactly

StantonMac

Yup, and it's so frustrating.

Exact reason why playing cincinnati in a NY6 bowl would be a tradegy.

The video about your dad in your sig is awesome

I have to agree. Maybe we should just keep the schedule as is.

zerigke

11/12/20 9:11am

Optics count: 12-0 looks a lot better than 3-1

2FarGone

11/12/20 9:13am

I'm still of the position to schedule at least 1 more game - any game.

hxmCougar2000

11/12/20 9:40am

He nailed it. Similarly, one thing BYU has going is the eye test. Herbstreit keeps talking about how BYU just looks

Byron McNertney

11/12/20 9:15am

I can't argue with any of that. I have felt that way this entire year. NY6 would be a great result.....

Bonoman

11/12/20 9:16am

It’s about the $$$. They won’t let BYU share in the big money.

Sooner Cougar

11/12/20 9:16am

^^^^^^^^ What he said!

hdx57

11/12/20 11:19am

pretty much the hand we have been dealt. What amazes me is that you could play Rutgers and win and get more respect

ChinaFan

11/12/20 9:18am

His “Resume” formula is for a normal season and this year is anything but.

Meant to respond to OP

11/12/20 9:39am

B1G teams don't get any bump from beating Rutgers (unless it's a blowout)

reddead

11/12/20 11:54am

Wisc shot to the top 10 after 1 game vs. #107 Illinois (worse than W. KY)

Mr. Scoobs

11/12/20 11:57am

I think Louisville is a P5 (ACC) team

robin

College football postseason is a terrible terrible system.

Mr. Scoobs

11/12/20 9:20am

Hard to disagree with any of that.

shoganai

11/12/20 9:21am

Yep, my thoughts exactly.

Benfica1

11/12/20 9:22am

A weak schedule means you're untested, but not that you're bad.

refunder

11/12/20 9:35am

Play the big boys but they won't play you.

BYU Grounds

11/12/20 9:39am

He kinda contradicts himself. If BYU beats Liberty they'd drop out. But so would Army.

RE: He kinda contradicts himself. If BYU beats Liberty they'd drop out. But so

The Y's Insider

11/12/20 11:03am

He does. Maybe Army has a better history or just carries more weight?

Florwood

11/12/20 11:06am

True, both Liberty and Army would drop from the rankings. Maybe he feels Army

Benfica1

11/12/20 11:10am

Or maybe he thinks Army is more beatable than Liberty but has the same rep.

The Y's Insider

11/12/20 11:14am

I totally agree with the take. We also don't know what's going to happen with

Hoss Bonaventure

11/12/20 9:41am

It's reasonable. I honestly don't think BYU is close to playoff competitive

jhingman

11/12/20 10:01am

BYU is not part of the CFP. Doesn’t have a vote and doesn’t have a promise

Nat Gas Man

11/12/20 10:10am

Not true. If we finish undefeated with a NY6 win, then run the table next year

zerigke

11/12/20 10:15am

They have no guarantee it belongs to the conferences

Nat Gas Man

11/12/20 10:16am

Zero evidence of that. BYU is #3 in SP+ resume and top 6 in the objective rating

Mr. Scoobs

11/12/20 10:11am

That's why my comments are based on my opinion, not evidence

jhingman

11/12/20 10:32am

System shouldn't eliminate undefeated teams winning 45-13 on average. BYU was

Mr. Scoobs

11/12/20 11:07am

I agree with everything he said. Which is why I think we need to add Cincy

archie

11/12/20 10:20am

Cincy won't schedule us. 99% confident.

zerigke

11/12/20 10:26am

A loss to Cincy and we are bowling in Boise

dk4

11/12/20 10:28am

This is the key- risk/reward. Cincy is about as good as we are, if we have to go on the road to play them

BeyondTheMark

11/12/20 11:38am

Far under 50% chance to get into the playoff.

StantonMac

11/12/20 11:42am

Even if BYU beat Cincy, how do they break the top 4?

reddead

11/12/20 12:01pm

For something you quickly caught on the radio in passing

Sale

11/12/20 10:22am

I agree completely! I don't want to schedule more games, just win our last two

mort

11/12/20 10:40am

Pretty persuasive. Sounds like getting Army in the schedule might be worth the

Forzaitalia

11/12/20 10:41am

And we had it 🙁 (Army game at the beginning of the season)

BluebloodOR

11/12/20 10:58am

Those are exactly my thoughts...so obviously he's spot on.

D.T. Survivor

11/12/20 11:24am

That is almost exactly how I view it. For CFP, we would likely beat out a 2-loss

LifeLongLakerFan

11/12/20 11:29am

It's a reasonable take, but I say, screw risk vs reward! Play games! We're...

Katewot

11/12/20 11:50am

Even good teams have bad games though.

zerigke

11/12/20 11:55am

I would hope our AD is a bit more calculating and level-headed.

The Y's Insider

11/12/20 2:55pm

If BYU doesn't get into a NY6 game this year... that will once and for all solidify Independence for what it is...

Coug

11/12/20 11:56am

Basically BYU is in the same situation as Cincinnati. If both teams win out,

Bee Chunder

11/12/20 12:06pm

If Liberty beats NC state they will be 8-0 with wins on the road against two

GSwarriorcoug

11/12/20 12:22pm

This is all true, but very frustrating. P5 teams aren't willing to play us

here's to hoping

11/12/20 12:27pm

Wait, the four teams that make the playoff will have played each other?!?!

COACHdrn

11/12/20 1:02pm

Not literally.

The Y's Insider

11/12/20 2:51pm

I agree mostly with his take, only I'm less optimistic than he that we've nearly

SinkingQuffa

11/12/20 1:16pm

But you don't know who the "national pundit" was. That's kind-of important...

LEDSFW

This is 100% Correct

runningryan

Your take is 100% right errrrrr I meant the “radio guys” take and questions are

Gerald-DeGroot

11/12/20 3:18pm

Confirms? I'd say more like the call stands

Bill

11/12/20 4:20pm

Well the guy is an idiot because Georgia has zero chance at CFP this year

ordinary tri guy

11/12/20 4:39pm

You misread the post.

The Y's Insider

Even so better names to use outside Georgia.

Wait, he thinks if undefeated #15 Marshall/ CC #16 loses to a top 10 team that they will fall out of the rankings?
