2024 BYU Football - Year 2 in the Big 12

[Omaha 680]

SMU's second loss came in the ACC championship game. That was the difference.

Correct. A 2-loss BYU that lost in the Big 12 Championship would have been in over SMU this year.

Well, except that when they each had one loss, SMU was still ahead of them.

Yes. And had BYU not lost to Kansas, BYU would probably be in. But it sure is a difficult result to explain in the abstract.

Yes they were one spot ahead of us the week after we lost to Kansas. It feels almost dirty to say this, but I have confidence the committee would have fixed that error at the end if it came to that.

How do you not?? You can't let two 1-loss teams in and not take the one that gave the other the loss.

I saw this on another website. It’s a recap of some of the “so close, but so far” BYU football experience over the last few decades and culminates with a recap of the end of this season. I have no idea who this guy is, but he does a decent job.

Ha. What kind of sicko would want to watch something like that?

If this came from the other website I think it came from, this fits in quite well for a large group over there. Misery miners.

Kind of like the uofutah fan on twitter who was soothing his sadness with highlights of past uofutah glories and started with plays from the first Rose Bowl game.

They should play that prior to every season and two or three times in the middle.

Deion Sanders is clearly divisive, but I like him. I think he's great for CFB, CU, and the conference.

He definitely knows how to fight the publicity/image battles, but at his core, I think he cares about the players and is a good dude.

I haven't really followed Deion's career as a CFB coach.

Sincere question: what makes him divisive? In other words, why do people not like him aside from the fact that he coaches an opposing team?

He’s flashy. He used the transfer portal (in and out), and in my opinion, some probably don’t like him because of latent prejudice. Although no one will ever admit it.

I agree with this.
