Exactly.

For any player and fans like me

There's always something left to play for. Whether some fans think there is nothing left to watch for

Also, if you like football, the football games are fun to watch.

How funny it is that we can forget the real reason we like watching.

I disagree - conference championships are meaningful

antiyewt

10/13/21 10:01am

It was a conference that no one cared about outside the intermountain west

To his point though I consider 2009 when we finished #11 but didn't win the MWC

Food Snob

10/13/21 10:29am

I have heard several players state the opposite - for them it was about ranking

BYU is who it is because of those conference championships. There is a

Winning out = Top 10 ranking and NY6 consideration

BYURider

10/13/21 10:00am

I really want us to be considered in that conversation again to finish the year

BYUFam1

10/13/21 10:06am

One of the NY6 bowls is for the highest ranked G5 team. BYU is not considered G5

Cosmo4life

10/13/21 11:02am

How about just playing for pride? For the program? For each other?

(Private)

10/13/21 10:03am

Or because it’s fun and you like to win. Never understood the “nothing to play

DiamondMo

Exactly!

Setting aside the conversation about a NY6 Bowl....

I watch BYU football because I love it - I watch the nfl because a true champion

Swish

10/13/21 10:42am

For me it's 10 wins. I believe that if BYU gets to 10 wins they'll be in final

RE: I guess people think it’s fun to say, but BYU can’t be the P12

bjc

10/13/21 11:49am

I hate comments about winning the pac 12 south. That's little brother talk.

MrClark

10/13/21 11:59am

So Pete Thamel, McMurphy, etc are participating in "little brother talk"

Carnac

10/13/21 12:00pm

Little brother is having a parade for being P12 South *Co-champs*

Reasonable1

10/13/21 3:04pm

We have everything to play for

Carnac

10/13/21 11:29am

Even if we lose @Baylor, we still have a chance to win in LA the same season

Royal Air Force

10/13/21 11:36am

You can't wipe the smile from my face...

bjc

10/13/21 11:39am

Yep, you won your super bowl. Meanwhile, Utah lost an OOC game.. Meh

Roghai

10/13/21 12:48pm

LOL! You don't care about BYU.

Carnac

10/13/21 12:55pm

not the super bowl, not any bowl...just beat you... still smiling

Winning is important to recruiting this season as we gear up for the B12.

Forzaitalia

10/13/21 11:42am

If we win this weekend I agree

Sircumference

10/13/21 11:53am

Yeah, I don't get that sentiment. Even playing pickup sports, I want to win

OldFogey

How about just enjoying because football and BYU are both AWESOME!

People who say that are betas that really never played sports. At least, not at a level above rec league.

It could help us start higher in the polls next year

It could help recruiting

If we win Saturday, I bet we get a recruit commitment or two

There’s always something to play for. Always. Playoff is done, but only four go.

Robbinoburrito

An 11-1 BYU team beating ASU, Utah, Baylor probably finishes 7-10th
