and Michigan, the highest ranked 3-loss teams. And BYU would have done it with 1 decent win (A&M), 1 decent loss (Washington), and prior to the postseason, 1 win over a currently ranked top 25 team (Wyoming).

It depends entiirely on the SOS that goes with the 11-1 schedule. With the 2021 schedule, it;s possible. Not with 2020.

The long, long odds of going 11-1 with that sched combined with a 9 or 10 win

It depends on money. Nothing more. And as an Indy we don’t bring anyone else $

Disagree. An 11-1 Independent BYU is almost certainly in.

Agree. An 11-1 BYU on a typical indy schedule is in over ANY 9-3 team. Depending

What's a typical Indy schedule? So much variation year to year

Compared to Auburn? could see the committee considering it, closer than we think

You're assuming "they" want BYU in.

In a non COVID year the schedule would never be that weak

CaliWG

I completely agree but again

Z-Ute

6/17/21 12:01pm

I don't think they care enough about the 4th SEC team to pass on an 11-1 BYU

CaliWG

6/17/21 12:32pm

What about 2nd and 3rd SEC teams?

Z-Ute

6/17/21 12:45pm

What about them? They'll likely be in most years.

CaliWG

6/17/21 12:52pm

So that's BYU fighting for 1 of 3 spots now

Z-Ute

6/17/21 1:38pm

For an 11-1 Independent BYU? Yes I like their odds.

Of course you don’t get it, you give yourself tremendous credit for beating

Problem is that you don't play 5-7 P5s going forward, you play 4.

They don’t care about credibility! Its a for profit biz not an athletic comp.

This is a byu fan board. You should start asking why you're here.

Get off it man.

No deek is right. This is a BYU fan board and we support BYU. You don’t.

There's the tantrum I was talking about. Thanks for not disappointing

DeekLyfter

6/17/21 11:18am

And there is the lack of an argument. Thanks for not disappointing.

Moops

6/17/21 11:26am

And there is the lack of knowledge and prospective. You win

I don't argue with people that are so surely convinced of their own intelligence

Maybe I will do that.

But does it also set you up for a loss to a weaker team as well?

If playoff access were all that mattered joining might be the right call.
