David Pollack: "My gosh, BYU (at) No. 14? That is absolutely nuts to me, just watching how dominant they are, not just analytically, but physically, when you turn on the tape."
PURE PLAYOFF PRIVILEGE! I have an answer for Kirk, no this committee hasn’t watched the games we’ve watched. @BYU being where they are nonsensical regardless of schedule. Watch the games. It’s almost as if they’re punished for leaving the @MountainWest I didn’t like the move!
Anybody who just blurts out "their schedule" for why BYU is ranked No. 14 has clearly not watched BYU. I like their odds against at least half the teams above them
Even the ESPN pundits are stunned by BYU being #14. And now Gary Barta is--of course--telling people sadly how their schedule hurt them. How about WATCHING them play? Ridiculous...
I love Cincinnati and would be excited to see them as the four seed but do not think they could go shot for shot on offense with Alabama. At some point there'd be a breakdown. BYU? You could earnestly talk me into that and I wouldn't be faking it
Give BYU Georgia's, Oklahoma's, Miami's, Indiana's or Iowa State's schedules, and at WORST they'd have the same record with the same losses (likely by smaller margins). But because 6 games with P5 teams got canceled, they might not even make NY6. Cool system.
I understand BYU's schedule is dreadful, but two-loss Georgia's wins came against opponents that are a combined 15-22. Auburn only team w/ winning record they beat.
