Also, I would love to be proved wrong.

And for the record, if we had moved up even one more spot (past sparty), I would feel like we had a >50% chance.

We’ll, It’s been a heckuva ride, but the committee set up for no BYU in NY6

We won’t go to the independence bowl. Mark that down.

AZPTCOUG

This is different than everything currently coming from program, media, and players

12/1/21 6:34am

We will see. Putting out positive vibes for Guaranteed rate bowl.

AZPTCOUG

12/1/21 6:35am

I think GRB also has a lower payout, so incentive may be there to avoid it for the program

WP17

12/1/21 6:40am

But if they go to GRB then I get to go! 😂

AZPTCOUG

12/1/21 6:44am

Independence Bowl: $2.2 Million, GRB: $1.6M

Skeptical Optimist

12/1/21 6:54am

Yeah, this reason alone makes me think the school (being frugal BYU) takes Indy. And I’d be fine with that reasoning

WP17

12/1/21 6:56am

Lower payout but more byu fans at the game.

LaserCoug

The GRB Bowl may have lower travel expenses to counter act the lower payout

BYU Fan

12/1/21 7:03am

Especially when you consider the prices at the pump these days for the equipment

Crowd Factor

12/1/21 7:07am

Eh, flights to LA aren’t $600k more for the team 😅

WP17

12/1/21 7:11am

Those are the payouts for the conference tie ins but the payout for BYU only may be much different for each bowl.

What? Many are talking about other options

They haven’t said anything

The acc champ won't pass us in the rankings, but that doesn't matter as they

LiveCoug

12/1/21 6:33am

ACC gets a bowl spot whether they’re #5 or unranked. Same with Pac-12, so that doesn’t really matter to us

WP17

12/1/21 6:34am

I think one thing is clear, however. We absolutely would have made a NY6 if we

Colorado

12/1/21 6:43am

Honestly I’m not sure we are ranked higher beating Boise. Maybe but I’m not totally sold on the idea.

WP17

12/1/21 6:44am

With only 1 loss to the #9 ranked team we are certainly above 2 loss teams…

AZPTCOUG

12/1/21 6:48am

Maybe, impossible to know. But we all thought we’d be 10 or 11 last year.

WP17

12/1/21 6:50am

This isn’t last year. Better wins and a “better” loss. Not even comparable.

AZPTCOUG

12/1/21 6:50am

I 100% agree, but the committee is just so capricious

WP17

12/1/21 6:53am

The committee has given us plenty of credit for our schedule this year. 2 losses

Skeptical Optimist

12/1/21 6:56am

1st out is NOT respect/recognition; it is smoke and mirrors (nm).

Happy As Larry

12/1/21 9:27am

I disagree

Skeptical Optimist

12/1/21 9:52am

We should get the pac 12 autobid

Colorado

12/1/21 10:37am

Should've added arbitrary. Then I would have said:

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 10:37am

Yep we were always going to be just outside

johnnybyu

12/1/21 7:47am

I tend to agree, but the committee does not always use very solid logic.

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 10:36am

Doubtful we were always going to be just outside what was required. I don’t

johnnybyu

12/1/21 7:36am

Exactly

Happy As Larry

9 or 10 with Boise win. CFP over Cincy with Baylor win. Guaranteed. But, didn’t

seacougar

12/1/21 8:51am

Ranked where we are w 2 losses is insane.

12/1/21 9:21am

ahead of 2-loss Oklahoma even

Hill4Heisman

12/1/21 10:03am

I agree, I can't believe the committee gave us the love they did

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 10:38am

If ifs and buts were candies and nuts we would all have a merry Christmas.

If Oregon and Baylor lose, and Cincinnati, Alabama, and Michigan win, I could

Skeptical Optimist

12/1/21 6:44am

It's possible, but we need Alabama to lose, not win

krindorr

12/1/21 7:17am

I'm struggling to see a scenario where Bama misses the playoff

BYU Fan

12/1/21 7:30am

I'm slowly coming around in passing MSU as the best shot

krindorr

12/1/21 7:36am

I think there's close to a 0% chance of us jumping Michigan St with neither of

jreid191

12/1/21 8:44am

I think this is the way

No, we need Alabama in the playoff

This is the only path I see, though Oregon winning or losing doesn’t matter

We could possibly pass Baylor, but Oregon does not matter. I just do not see a

Somehow gaining B12 membership has lightened the sting of missing NY6 this year,

If NY6 doesn't happen, there are talks regarding the

Wouldn't surprise me if Big Ten opts to send Maryland to Quick Lane Bowl instead

jreid191

2021 was our best change EVER of getting into NY6. Big 12 will be tough.

Happy As Larry

Membership has it's privileges - see UVa in 2019 & likely Utah in 2021

BYU Fan

12/1/21 9:35am

Is it really much different than 2021? I know we like to bag on the Pac 12 but

Great article

runningryan

12/1/21 10:04am

Wait, seriously? There's a Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl? Why?

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 10:44am

Cause some people are narcissistic and need their ego stroked

runningryan

12/1/21 11:09am

Yeah, this dude really thinks highly of himself. His lecturing is ridiculous.

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 11:32am

We lost NY6 spot when we lost to Boise

pappabear246

12/1/21 11:50am

If they had shown up and beat Baylor then it might have fixed it.

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 11:54am

I would argue had we made a statement win vs. USC, committee might’ve jumped us

notaboy

12/1/21 12:16pm

Might want to change that "h"

SoBlueitHurts

12/1/21 12:38pm

The committee is known to only hump P5 teams.

LaVellIfIKnow

12/1/21 12:47pm

That is an honor code violation, we wouldn't have permitted it.

RSL

12/1/21 12:50pm

That would have been quite a reward.
