BYU went 11-2 last year. Stumbled a little down the stretch but bounced back incredibly well from a 5-7 first year in the Big 12.

BYU had high expectations, projected to be a top 15 team entering the preseason but lost their quarterback in August and turned to a true freshman at QB who joined the team in May.

Way too much was put into the loss of Jake Retzlaff at QB by people outside of BYU. Bear has certainly exceeded expectations and is a big reason they are 10-1 but the biggest reason is because BYU has a GREAT TEAM. Balanced, efficient, well-coached.

The obsession from the committee on blowing horrible teams out and losing close games to good teams is asinine. BYU has played a lot of really good teams this season. I would contend it is more impressive to go 10-1 against BYU’s schedule than 9-2 against Notre Dame’s. Losing to the two best teams on your schedule shouldn’t be rewarded. BYU went 1-1 against the two best teams they played. The Tech loss was bad but why does Alabama get a pass for a loss to Florida State but BYU doesn’t for losing to the No. 5 team in the country? Oregon gets credit for wins over Penn State and Iowa because we thought they were good at the time. BYU gets knocked because of close wins to Arizona and Iowa State because people thought they weren’t great.

BYU has a top 5 resume in the country. Sure they aren’t a top 10 power rated team but let’s reward teams that over perform, not teams that under perform because of “eye test” and Vegas and power ratings.

Assuming BYU beats UCF, BYU is a playoff worthy team regardless of what happens in Arlington and it is ridiculous that isn’t a given.

QOTD: In a recent interview, Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire said their gameplan to beat BYU last year was to “stop the run and make Bear beat us throwing.” Do you feel like BYU is better equipped to win with Bear’s arm this season?

The whole 82-0 phenomenon reinforces that whole bit about how the only thing a bunch of dudes need in order to have a good time is to sit around announcing the names of a bunch of old athletes.

QOTD: Who is BYU Football’s most important newcomer for the 2026 season?

[BYUtv Sports Nation @BYUSportsNation]

QOTD: Aaron Roderick laid out his expectations for Bear Bachmeier for the 2026 season: 70% completions, 30+ touchdowns, and fewer than 10 interceptions. Are these fair expectations for Bear?

Texas sure won a lot of Big 12 Championships over the last 15 years

Shots fired at Texas Tech? Texas' Steve Sarkisian via @AnwarRichardson: "There's a team in our state in another conference w/a schedule that I would argue if I played w/our 2's & 3's we could go undefeated & they’ll probably make the CFP this year” 💀

If Texas wants to play a Big 12 schedule, maybe it shouldn't have left the Big 12

QOTD: CBS Sports listed BYU Football number one in its latest Big 12 power rankings. Do you believe BYU deserves the number one spot right now?

Watched this game in a hospital room with my wife. 10 hours later my son was born. Favorite Pacers game of my life.

I too used to trash this film. But the older I
Got I realized how much it sets up.

My favorite being that it sets up Darth Vader being one of the best pilots in the galaxy. They mention that a lot in the films about how nice he is with flying

And little Anakin being the first human to win a pod race is the first sign of that.

The things marketed for kids are obvious and that’s why people hate it but it’s for a new generation.

It gave us duel of the fates. Dual sided lightsabers. And it’s still f*** jar jar binks

And Darth maul who’s just MONEY

BYU only benefits every year by having Notre Dame on its nonconference schedule.
