The ranking is all that matters.The bowl games don’t get to choose who they want

Or rather they don’t get to choose who gets an at large spot. They may get some say after the at large spots are determined.

How BYU makes the NY6

Pssst....we've only won 3 games.

I wonder if he knows our record! Won’t he be surprised when he finds out!

I'm aware, but I keep seeing people talk about it, so if we're going to discuss it, let's at least do it accurately

krindorr

9/23/21 3:09pm

But if we don’t talk about it now we may not get another chance.

These posts remind me of those that are predicting our whole staff leaves for

11/2 is our goal. Would be the best year since '96.

*Your goal.

The NY6 isnt an attainable goal

Backcountry

9/23/21 3:09pm

Yes it is. But there are also other options besides 11-2 or NY6.

That’s like Dwight being assistant manager in his wildest dreams.

The best season in a quarter century would be pretty sweet.

Backcountry

9/23/21 4:02pm

Is it better than 06?

StalwartBraveTrue

9/23/21 4:13pm

Easily.

Aye. BYU competes against P5 non-champs for an at large spot

Doogal McCougar

9/23/21 3:06pm

I think there's only one spot we have a realistic chance to get. So I don't

shoganai

9/23/21 3:07pm

Interesting? Why do you assume the Peach Bowl isn't in play?

krindorr

9/23/21 3:10pm

The committee is unlikely to send an at-large western team there.

shoganai

9/23/21 3:11pm

OK, I agree that's where we'd end up if we get a spot, but getting a spot hinges on where we rank

Because the rest of the West Coast stinks this year

Doogal McCougar

You missed the ACC champ tie-in

BlueOptimist

9/23/21 3:09pm

They don't have one this year; Normally it's Orange Bowl, but this year that's a playoff semifinal

krindorr

9/23/21 3:10pm

They're a displaced champion if they don't make the CFP. The ACC champ gets into

Doogal McCougar

9/23/21 3:21pm

Correct, I'm assuming that Clemson makes it one way or another - hopefully as a playoff team

krindorr

9/23/21 3:28pm

Is there a scenario where a Pac12 team does not get into the Rose Bowl?

UNLVcougar

9/23/21 3:10pm

No.

shoganai

9/23/21 3:12pm

Even if the number two team was 6-6 and barely bowl eligible?

UNLVcougar

9/23/21 3:13pm

They'd still be in, unless the #2 team was 5-7

krindorr

9/23/21 3:14pm

This is why getting into a P5 conference meant everything. System is corrupt.

runnincoug

9/23/21 3:33pm

Yes.

shoganai

9/23/21 3:15pm

Short answer: No

krindorr

9/23/21 3:13pm

Nope. It is impossible without some sort of post-season ban

Doogal McCougar

9/23/21 3:30pm

Thanks for the homework on this, but after last year, it is clear we aren't

I didn't read your post but I'll bookmark it and pull it up if it is still

Not true at all. There's only one way at this point...

Can we wait and see if we beat Baylor first?

Blue Ghost

Baylor is good - much higher on FPI

avidcoug

9/23/21 4:07pm

That is my point. Until we get past Baylor, undefeated talk is not warranted.

Blue Ghost

Not even going to read this. Completely premature.

Just. Win. Baby. Nothing else matters.
