@ChannyMill Chelsea Peterson is a maniac and I love that we have her for PKs

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

@alison_renner Definitely can park for less than that lol. Just not a lot of alcohol, so the tailgate scene is pretty minimal.

Still worth a trip at some point!

@RedditCFB Team A, but only because they have better strength of schedule.

I’d like to remind y’all that Pres Livingston of Baylor actively worked behind the scenes to help get BYU invited into the BIG12. It wasn’t just a sports thing, and there were schools adamantly against it.

We have so much in common with Baylor, including mutual respect. We should always be grateful for Baylor. 🙏🏻

@XRPBYU Have you looked at this college football rooting guide? Based on this model it's basically a wash with a very very slight lean toward wanting Utah to win.

@rtmccombs The later results on Saturday definitely helped avoid a fall. Especially Notre Dame's win. If ND had lost that game, everyone would be appropriately questioning if ND was actually good or just had a soft schedule and thus question BYU's best win.

@W00dsyOwl The answer is that yes I've seen this happen multiple times. Replay can go back and give a substitution penalty for guys not getting off the field fast enough.

Glad to see Sparty pull it off anyway though!

Kamario Taylor's biggest impact on this season might be pumping up Alabama's strength of schedule.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

The second he signed with USU I started telling anyone who would listen that he was going to be a huge part of taking this team to the next level. Just a perfect fit for the Aggies.

Dallin Hall’s career high before tonight: 23 points

Tonight: 35 points

This is a guy who started 3 years in high-major ball we’re talking about too.

He’s unlocked a new level for Utah State

The absolute travesty about this situation is the committee made this a do-or-die for BYU. A close road loss against a top 3 team shouldn't be an elimination game. Despite the strong showing and proving they belong, the decision was made when the committee put BYU at #9.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

Jonny woke up and chose violence. And he's right lol.

[Derek Paulson @d_ford_p]

This is stupid. LJ didn't become less important to our team, and there's no indication he'll be less effective going forward. It was his first game back from injury and the gameplan called for more passing. This is just them looking for an excuse to drop BYU.

[Cougar Sports Media @CougSportsMedia]

Why ESPN dropped BYU in the College Football Playoff power rankings:

"Running back LJ Martin returned from an ankle injury but was not a factor in the Cougars' loss to Utah, rushing for 19 yards on seven carries. That's a problem for a team that relied on him and its rushing attack early in the season.

BYU was forced to lean on quarterback Bear Bachmeier in Salt Lake City on Saturday and, though he showed off what makes him such a dynamic playmaker, he also made several costly mistakes, including four interceptions.

Be it because of injury or simple regression, the Cougars looked closer to the team that lost to UCF than the team that beat Notre Dame. Heading into the final stretch of the season, the Cougars are not fully out of playoff contention, but they are clearly no longer playing like a team bound for the postseason."

LJ Martin, Roger Saleapaga, Evan Johnson are all on the BYU depth chart heading into Baylor. Somewhat positive sign that BYU could have a number of their frontline guys back Saturday.

ESPN/ABC does not select the teams which make the CFP. It has zero presence or say in the selection room on selection day.
