But at least they are not as biased against BYU as the west coast voters. I am not claiming victimhood. Just saying football doesn't really exist outside the south, so they look at a team objectively with three name wins and bump them. The voters in the west go "eh, it's BYU. I guess I have to put them in the top 25."

I haven't watched enough college football this year to rank BYU fairly, but eye test tells me this team is different. OL is for real, running back for real, special teams for real, depth in defense for real, discipline and coaching also checks out. They seem legit top 15-20 at least.
