If you're going to penalize a 1-loss Power Conference team for a weak strength of schedule... BYU's SOS is better than Ole Miss and Notre Dame.
If you're going to penalize a team for not having the strongest power ratings (which incorporate prior year's history and recruiting rankings)... BYU's FPI is higher than Oklahoma's.
If you're going to penalize a team for a non-competitive / bad loss... Alabama lost by 14 to a team with a losing record and Miami lost to two unranked teams.
If you're going to use strength-of-record like you indicated you would, BYU's SOR is the second highest of teams 6-12.
BYU also (1) made its conference championship game and (2) if you sum up the wins of the teams it has beaten, it is THIRD in the country. It is hard to win games and BYU has beaten a lot of teams with a lot of wins.
This. Makes. No. Sense.
The @CFBPlayoff should be ashamed of itself. It has literally contorted itself into a pretzel to avoid putting BYU where it should be ranked (somewhere between 6th - 9th).
RT to get the info out there. They need to feel pressure.
I want to thank the entirety of Texas Tech Football, Coach McGuire, Coach Fitch, and Coach AhYou. Lubbock has been great to me and created relationships that will truly last a lifetime. I entered into the portal today and am excited for what the future beholds. God bless!
@jasonwhitlock Love your podcast @jasonwhitlock , but I do remember how you and the Korean Cosell predicted that Marcus Freeman would be fired after the NIU loss. Might have happened under the 4 team playoff system, but the new CFB 12 team playoff changed his legacy and a big extension.
