Punt block every play. May not pay off in every situation, but it would scratch an itch we all have.

I'm sorry but it's flat out ridiculous BYU is being left out in any poll.

Might as well call it the Grad Assistant Coaches Poll - that’s what it is.

I actually love it. Gives the boys a chip on their shoulder and motivation.

Win games and that will change quickly. Can't be losing to teams like UAB at the end of the season if BYU wants more

It's amazing how many on here think that losing to UAB had no impact on this

2FarGone

True except that voters do care how “bad” UAB was. That’s why we lost respect.

Motivation. Prove the polls wrong, Cougars.

I bet the vast majority of voters don't even know that BYU

It had an impact on the EOY ranking which has an impact on the preseason ranking

UAB was not a bad team (Sagarin rating of 66), finished 9-4

Dr T-bone

8/12/22 9:55am

True. How many voters did even that research tho to see UAB's credible success?

And therin lies the problem - especially with the Coaches Poll

jreid191

8/12/22 11:13am

Many coaches don't even follow teams, so coaches is least legit poll

Dr T-bone

Can't ever lose to teams like UAB but that said it was a year ago. I don't see

Houston was 12-2 and beat Auburn in their bowl game

Don't taut the guys too much, plenty to tout without overstretching them

What about considering the injuries, key players missing?

Amen. So awful

Nacua didn't fumble!!!!

This is true. If BYU goes 7-0 through the Arkansas game, BYU will be ranked in the top 8. Yes, for those that are

Funny how losing to San Diego state and Oregon State did nothing to hurt Utah. There’s def a bias.

OMIllionaire

8/12/22 8:48am

Recency bias. Their last game was against #2 Ohio State, barely losing it.

MarylandFan

Agree - that was a bad loss. No excuse.

I don't understand people acting like we have "gotten what we deserve" by not

Hooda88

Oh, and none of this changes the fact that preseason polls are stupid.

Hooda88

8/12/22 9:52am

BYU finished top 25 depsite the UAB loss and return thee most production in CFB. What has changed since that final poll?

That's the big thing to me

Don't lose to UAB and don't have a crappy defense...

Coug

8/12/22 8:20am

Unfortunately, defense will be crappy as long as Tuiaki remains on staff.

The lack of developing pass rushers is insane.

I'm glad they are out. Start off with a chip and no respect

Beat Baylor, Notre Dame, and Oregon and we are in top 10 territory.

Rise Against

Undefeated after playing Arkansas, BYU IS closer to 5 than 10, unless Baylor, ND

I actually agree with all your points.

BYU should be in, but I like preseason polls...Remember BYU vs #1 Miami, #3 Pitt

this bias against G5 goes away next year hopefully

You're a lot more optimistic than me.

Here's the best justification I can find

I understand this isn't your take and that you are trying to see what could

Oh I completely agree

Since when did Cal become a powerhouse?

We don't have conference mates voting on our behalf. nor do we have those media

You have a crap defense and lose to UAB that is what you get.
