This isn’t what matters though. What matters is Tuesday night with the Committee. I’m a little nervous.

Now let’s have Ok State win and so long as our Utes take care of business, we are in a good position.

What? Really? What kind of insanity is that? You think Ohio State, Bama, Oklahoma, etc get tired of playoff talk? The one time Utah is in the conversation and has a legitimate chance and many of you are negative nancies and don’t like it. It makes no sense. I swear Utah fans are as annoyingly pessimistic as BYU fans are annoyingly optimistic.

Would certainly make my travel plans easier.

I so want the committee to punish Bama for playing Western Carolina in mid November

Clemson is irrelevant to us. Would it be nice if they lost? Sure, but they have little bearing on getting the 4th seed.

The worst thing that could happen is Georgia beating LSU in the SECCG. As long as LSU, OSU, and Clemson win out, we will have a decent shot at getting in.

The key things that cannot happen if Utah (and probably Oregon) want to get in are the following:
1. Lose
2. 11-1 Georgia beating 12-0 LSU in the SEC CG
3. Ohio State losing (particularly in the B1G CG).

As long as those three things don’t happen, I think the winner of the Pac-12 CG is in.

Great point about Whit. It is much sexier pitching a shutout or keeping a team in single digit scores.

Wow, Twitter actually resulted in something good. I’ll be.

As long as the whole team keeps playing with the same energy and fire, we’ll win in dominant fashion. If they take the foot off the table and relax, we could be in trouble.

I think Whitt is being completely honest here, but I also can’t help but think the committee, style points, and eye test sits there in the back of every coach’s mind and percolates (sometimes subconsciously) and affects decisions.

Relax there hoss. I’m just curious. I don’t know what caused it and I want to know.

Whittingham -> Scalley -> Covey. I’m ok with that!

I don’t think we will. I think as time goes on, as the gap widens, we’ll see BYU developing more competitive rivalries with Boise State and Utah State and Utah with CU and ASU. I think we may get to a point where our “B” game each season is either BYU or Utah State.

I love me some Steven Sylvester. The greatest pic ever is of him:

My brain tells me you are 100% right, but just like every Pac-12 game, I’m a little nervous.

Yeah, let’s focus on losing the Pac-12 Championship game. Just what a winning program should do.

You are a moron troll. Is it likely that the Utes make the CFP? No, stats are currently giving us about a 20% chance. But to think that the program shouldn’t aim for however high is possible is asinine and stupid. And if the Utes are fortunate enough to make the playoff it’s fantastic and I’ll celebrate and be stoked. I assume you will sulk in at…[Read more]
