I know we're not going undefeated this year (I refuse to believe it until I see it), but if we do, I'd much rather see us go NY6 anyway. We've never gone NY6. I'd like to see us do that and win a sweet bowl game and continue to build the momentum. I don't need to see us as the 4 seed in the CFP matched up against Bama in the first round and watch us lose by 30 points. I feel like that would actually set us back. All the pundits would be like, "see, we told you, they can't compete, and they don't belong."
I know Bama does this to a lot of teams, I'd just rather not have BYU's best bowl game ever be against Bama at their peak. I'd rather play a top 10 beatable team first.
