Because the damage has been done and BYU needs to fix it. This does both

It fixes the narrative and it gets us a P5 matchup. Any game against a Pac12 team is going to be viewed in a better light than playing Marshall or Coastal Carolina, which don't seem to be actual options on the table anyway.

I think Tom should put the following invitation out there publicly.

That's not a bad way to put it in that case.

Yep, still requires them to change their policy but they have precedent for that

Amen.

Agree spotlight should be on the ridiculous PAC 12 rules, not BYU.

As great as this sounds, we all know this will not happen. BYU does not like to

Actions will speak louder than words. No more statements, get a game instead.

why would we do that? we want a better game than the P12 most likely would provide.

What the Twitterverse thinks doesn't matter hardly at all. What the CFP Committee thinks matters a lot.

Good. We want the committee to have proof that BYU will play anyone, any place

SlantRoute

11/24/20 1:04pm

They have that regardless of what the is out there on the internet. They have actual data sources, ADs, Presidents, etc

You give the committee too much credit. It's the same group that built the BCS

You paint too much of a conspiratorial picture. If the difference between BYU-IN and BYU-OUT is the WA story...

Greg Kite's 'stache

It's not based in conspiracy at all, and here's why....

B/C the final decision of who's in and who's out it really important and they'll get some real data

Greg Kite's 'stache

Haha, they will not pick up a phone and call Tom or UW's AD. Really?

SlantRoute

11/24/20 2:35pm

As i was saying. It definitive influenced the committee.

SlantRoute

11/24/20 7:52pm

I really don't think it had anything to do with it

I still think you're wrong.

“We publicly declare...” what is this, a proclamation from the Q12?

Ya get rid of that verbiage

Hence, my clause in the OP that says a PR firm would clean it up.

SlantRoute

11/24/20 1:06pm

Maybe we should "solemnly declare" . . . 🙂

"Let it be recorded on the fleshy tablets of my heart that BYU...". Better?
