My pessimistic gut tells me they will dig in rather than produce any appearance of mea culpa. So, 13 at best.

I am hopeful they can find some justification to move us above both Indiana And Northwestern and find another team to bump down to get us to 11.

Here is why BYU will move up in the CFP rankings

One spot to 13? Do they get the media off their backs by moving us up 1 but stil

pegushin

11/30/20 11:14am

I think we go up one spot because NW lost, and one more as a concession, so #12

cougarmeister

11/30/20 11:15am

I think this is as much as they will concede because optics > sound analysis.

I'm not sure they care.

We’ll see

BigYfan

They don't care nor do they watch and listen to college football analysts.

idacoug

11/30/20 11:24am

Nor do they, apparently, actually watch the games.

If they really do their biases kick in and they cannot see it clearly.

idacoug

11/30/20 11:31am

Apparently, watching games is only for peasants. 🙁

Your right. They could care less.

Blue2thebone

11/30/20 2:16pm

And northwestern lost and Oregon lost so they won’t jump BYU. #16 was idle and #17 lost

They. Do. Not. Care.

The periods make this opinion sound very authoritative.

Do you know that not all voters represent P5 schools?

Pretorian

11/30/20 12:59pm

Doesn’t matter. The G5 schools have their bid.

Really, NY6 is the goal but if our Bowl is in a better that average bowl vs a P5

Pretorian

11/30/20 1:03pm

How do we take care of business the next few weeks?

Blue2thebone

11/30/20 2:17pm

Why do they care? National writers and analysts can say they disagree, but in the end, the whole country accepts what

cruiserhead

11/30/20 11:16am

They care because the college football post-season is revamped every few years

Great38

11/30/20 2:09pm

So same thing as last week?

Mr. Scoobs

11/30/20 11:17am

I think we'll move up because byu's ranking distracts from the actual rankings

Hoss Bonaventure

11/30/20 11:18am

They certainly are under extreme pressure to move them up. They've been called

I hope you’re right, it was pretty ridiculous. The fact that every single AP

Rat

11/30/20 11:23am

Its not that they don't care- they are actively incentivized to rank BYU low because millions of dollars are on the line

cheezedawg

11/30/20 11:24am

sadly this is probably more accurate

bruincoug

AP and Coaches polls don't determine where the big $$$ goes...

Even if they wanted to (they don't), they would have difficulty this week cause

bluesloth

11/30/20 11:28am

Backlash as in people not agreeing with them again? Don't think that will move

palangi

11/30/20 11:32am

No benefit to keeping BYU low...put them at #11 now and #13 in final poll

This assumes that they think they made a mistake or oversight - they didn't.

stirmac

11/30/20 11:55am

Frankly, I'd be shocked if BYU moves up.

lbmango

11/30/20 12:09pm

I think #14 is our peak and we move down from here

cheezedawg

11/30/20 12:48pm

Very likely as more games are played all the 2 loss P5’s necessary will move up

The entire reason they exist is so that they can ignore everyone else.

I've said it before and will say it again: the chutzpah or desperation it took

jkccoug

11/30/20 1:17pm

The thing that gives me hope is we didn’t budge in the other rankings

sunjieming

11/30/20 2:11pm

Thats because the AP and Coaches Poll's use Logic, Reason and Common Sense where the CFP Committee does not.

We need to stop acting like these are legitimate rankings. It is simply a
