Ranked where we are w 2 losses is insane.
We have never been ranked like this w 2 losses before. If so, someone remind me when that was.

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.

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

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

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! 😂

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

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

Lower payout but more byu fans at the game.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We should get the pac 12 autobid

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

12/1/21 10:36am
Doubtful we were always going to be just outside what was required. I don’t

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

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

Skeptical Optimist
12/1/21 6:44am
It's possible, but we need Alabama to lose, not win

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

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

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

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

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

The committee is known to only hump P5 teams.

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