So 9-0 BYU is barely better than a Northwestern team who hasn't beaten anyone and just 3 days ago lost to a 1-3 Michigan State team? If Northwestern wins their next game, they could leapfrog 9-0 BYU?
Let's just say the word. Corruption. The fox is guarding the henhouse here--P5 reps decide who gets in the 12 spots of the CFP and NY6 and, magically, they rank only P5 schools in the top 12. Oh, and they have to throw one G5 a bone so they let Cincy in.
And even though the whole College football world screams that BYU should be in the top 10, the P5 reps put this Independent team just out of reach of an NY6, at 13.
In the Bonney Fuller Abridged Dictionary, that picture is under "Corruption."
