It would be really hard to argue that BYU is in a better place now than they were 5-10 years ago based off of on the field performance.

And no, I don't count 2020 as proof of anything.

In my mind, it’s more about the most realistic path to the playoff…

G5s won't get any at large bids, ever

I bet it’s 10/12 most years. If there’s two AAC teams in the top 12-8

I would believe that IF the same committee wasn't selecting the playoff teams

Don't be surprised if different format results in different rankings.

Just like we learned last year with our #14 ranking from the committee

100% this - the P5's will give up one spot to the top G5 champion

I just wish more people would realize that we are currently out of the “club”,

I’ve heard this for years and nothing changes, going backwards never helps.

We’re not going 12-0 vs an Indy schedule, and if we did we’d still be left out.

Junior Deputy

No we dont. They dont let another G5 in when they dont have to.

Number of times BYU has gone 12-0: 2

Conference won’t matter

It's not about the record it's about access. In a conference you have access.

FieroCoug

6/11/21 9:32am

Access is based on how good the team is

A 10-2 independent BYU is not making the playoffs. A 10-3 AAC champ BYU

FieroCoug

6/11/21 10:45am

That is a really big if

Remigius

6/11/21 11:21am

Look at with 11 wins than it's the same thing. 1 loss BYU wasnt in

FieroCoug

6/11/21 11:25am

We weren't in last year because we had a G5 schedule

Remigius

6/11/21 11:29am

And BYU has never had a season remotely like that

BYU Fan

6/11/21 11:40am

I agree with that

Remigius

6/11/21 11:43am

It's not like we'll only play G5 teams. We'll get our chances to play with the

Sometimes, the only way to move forward is to take a step back.

We probably should agree to disagree on this

Remigius

6/11/21 9:52am

In the current system I agree with you.

FieroCoug

6/11/21 10:53am

You're missing my point

Remigius

6/11/21 11:26am

If BYU wins the AAC and is one of the top 6 ranked champs we are in. No matter

FieroCoug

6/11/21 11:34am

The first time you misspelled it I just thought it was a typo. 2 times in a row

A take that frequently bothers me is...THAT ANY OF THIS MATTERS TO GOD

East Coast teams suck too. The best teams are in the Midwest and the South

BYU Grounds

Last time I checked... FL, GA, & SC are all on the east coast.

But a BYU team that wins out with this year's schedule should definitely make

ptcougr

And if they can't win out they don't deserve to be in the playoffs

ptcougr

6/11/21 11:27am

It doesnt matter if we get ranked higher than the highest G5 champ.

FieroCoug

6/11/21 1:35pm

They won’t be deciding between 2 loss LSU(as described above) and BYU
