2024 BYU Football - Year 2 in the Big 12

Up to #9 in the AP. FPI now gives a 32% chance of winning the conference and a 57% chance of making the playoff.

I am just trying to imagine reading this sentence two months ago and what my reaction would be

Also, in other news, I saw that Connor Pay and Chase Roberts have started a podcast on BYU tv/radio called "Two Point Conversion" where they discuss the weekly Come Follow Me lesson. I'm gonna check it out!

Sounds like they're living right, on and off the field. I think some magic is going to happen!

I'm biased in favor of Connor Pay (I grew up in his grandparents' ward and knew his dad when I was a really small kid), but is Bruce Mitchell playing better than Connor Pay?

I'm by no means an expert, and the sample size is small, but....

I remember doing the PFF grades last season and Connor Pay not once showed up in the top ten (although I got those from SI and I'm now questioning if they were correct as I'm seeing this season that they differ from what is shown in the PFF post game show). In the Oklahoma St game this past week, Bruce Mitchell was graded as our 5th best (non QB). So there's that.

That Bruce Mitchell isn't a top subject of discussion on BYU socials is a testament to how well he's played. What a phenomenal story and talent.

It was just to give comparable probability to get a feel of the possibility... Not politics.


Would you rather me say that it is like rolling exactly one "6" on a fair dice if you roll six times?

i.e., P = (6 1) X (1/6)^1 X (5/6)^5 = 40.19%

If you do then you are a nerd!

I AM A HELL OF AN ENGINEER!

I did not sign up for this.

Because political references are so cool!

100 times yes, I would take the probability equation over a political reference!

Injecting politics in a sports thread might be a bannable offense.

TedBot is like the idiots on social media who jump into the comments of a post about something apolitical and immediately make a Biden or Trump comment. Of course, they are mostly Russian bots., so now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense. BTW Uncle in Russian is дядя (pronounced dyada) so from now on Uncle TedBot shall be known to me as Dyada TedBot

42% isn't bad... That is like Trump's odds of winning Minnesota.

GN, thanks for putting that to words. The success of football this year and the promise/potential of a BB team that was already fun and exciting has me more excited about BYU sports than I have been since Jimmer. Super excited for all the new matchups (we already have two barn burners against OK State, a great start to a new rivalry) and all the big programs coming to town on a regular basis. For football, I had forgotten how fun it can be to be in a conference. Even the Utah/TCU rivalry has been revived! With TCU winning in SLC, no better way to revive it. GIVE 'EM HELL, BRIGHAM!
