He would currently rank as the QB22, RB12, WR7, and TE2 in fantasy football.
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.
Sources: USF is expected to pursue former Buccaneers HC Jon Gruden to replace Alex Golesh. One source adds that ex-Bucs HC/OC Dirk Koetter would join him as OC, bringing a pro-style offense back to the Bay. Significant pro-level investment is being pushed by USF COO Rob Higgins.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider is intentionally walking Shohei Ohtani so he can get to 8x All-Star, MVP, future HOF Mookie Bettsβ¦followed by 9x All-Star, MVP, future HOF Freddie Freeman.
And weβre all just like βyeah, thatβs probably the right move.β
