starts this year. A lot more than what we've seen in the past, and it seems like it's mostly the ESPN owned games that are doing it. It gives ESPN greater flexibility to choose the matchups they want I guess.

It sucks to think about but definitely possible

Maybe we don't get a bowl game and then a lot of players feel like they need to

I'd especially love Tonga back but I would be most shocked if he stays

We could start the Lavell Edwards Memorial Bowl and play Utah, since they won't

What prevents ESPN & BYU from arranging a game? Does it have to be a bowl game?

Call it "Covid & CFP Committe Kiljoyed Our Season" bowl?

It occurred to me tonight that BYU might not go bowling. I hope that's not true.
