NorthwesternSeasider Walk-on

It’s a fair question. I think we fail to remember that the original AP

Rankings were void of conferences that weren’t playing. We were fortunate to start our ascent early. Then, as other teams were added back into the fold, we’ve just stayed on the moving sidewalk.

During a normal season...with this schedule...do we reach 8 in AP?

For those who are claiming BYU has been the victim of collusion or at least some

Just means Coastal Carolina also need to farther up

The way everything unfolded this week was a little too convenient

Spend more than 2 minutes looking at their w-l record and the answer is obvious

I’m not sure I follow.

NorthwesternSeasider

Exactly

You’re referring to CCs W-L record or another teams?

NorthwesternSeasider

Look at any of the advanced analytics and they show a clear separation between 2

Look at how those games went smart guy. Bsus worst home loss in 25 years.

3 places is a huge deal considering the implications and they know BYU only has

11/25/20 12:04am

That 3-spot difference basically knocked BYU out of a NY6 game.

I don’t disagree. It sucks. I just don’t think it’s a conspiracy.

Nobody will ever know. But the hypocrisy in how BYU was evaluated is what makes

I almost can buy into your reasoning, but then

And magically two Iowa teams, one undeserving of a ranking at all and Iowa St which is wildly overrated in the rankings

There has never been a team drop six spots from both polls

What's your explanation for the huge disparity between AP voters and CFP?

swingcat

11/25/20 12:02am

The burden of evidence is not on him. He’s not the one claiming there’s a conspiracy.

Dr MoBYU

Not really a conspiracy when this Crap happens every year, we’re just the latest

NorthwesternSeasider

11/25/20 12:07am

In a normal season, yes. We would have played and beaten 5 or 6 P5 teams.

DMVCougar

11/25/20 12:33am

It’s not a normal season and if it was BYU would have already beaten several p5s

BYU '80

11/25/20 4:59am

0 of 64 AP voters had BYU 14 or higher. 0...with a Z

EtTuKalante

11/25/20 6:58am

I don't think it is a conspiracy. It's just poor rationale.

They have a beef too. College football needs an expanded playoff. Teams like

Been saying for years the NCAA needs a 16-team playoff. Play a 10 game regular

Sagarin has Penn State, 0-5, ranked #19. The computers aren't working in Covid

Cougar8Duck

11/25/20 12:10am

IMO, any undefeated G5 team should be ranked ahead of the whole Big12.

ldssdl

11/25/20 12:11am

Oh yeah, and not a single B12 team has fewer than 2 losses. What a joke.

ldssdl

11/25/20 12:16am

It’s not specific to BYU. The conspiracy is to keep everyone not in P5 out and maybe

Soupie

11/25/20 12:14am

They threw the G5 a bone to keep them happy

11/25/20 12:15am

It's a house of cards driven by one thing & one thing only: money.

BleedCougarBlue2

11/25/20 1:00am

Seeing Oregon behind us makes me think that maybe it isn't a conspiracy.

ditch

11/25/20 12:18am

So 14 is the line, but 15 could’ve been a conspiracy?

Kugmo

11/25/20 12:27am

...but USC is still behind that, so not a conspiracy then?

What has Oregon done. They haven’t even blown out bad teams

BYU '80

They are behind BYU THIS week. NEXT week, they will pass BYU up.

CFP effectively swapped our spot with Northwestern

DMVCougar

11/25/20 6:54am

So, by that logic, it's a sign of disrespect that cinci is that high, right?

SUAVO

11/25/20 12:42am

Why would UW sources "leak" that BYU was holding out on negotiations. Lies.

Yiowa

11/25/20 12:43am

They haven't looked nearly as dominant. Not to slight the Chantacleers, though.
