After losing to Boise State and Baylor, I have a new essential oil guaranteed to cure all ills to sell you. It wasn't gonna happen guys. If you legit thought it was gonna happen, you spend too much time on CB and BYU Twitter. Maybe if absolute chaos had reigned the last few weeks of the season, maybe maybe maybe with a very slim chance, but even then, there would be some argument to prevent giving out the big buck payments to a non-P5/G5 team. It just wasn't going to happen.
Time to move on and figure out how you're gonna support BYU in the bowl game (I'm driving 7.5 hours to that dump of a town). It's not a fair system, we all know that. There are only 13 BYU games a year and come December 19th, you're gonna wish there was more to watch every day until September 3, 2022.
