Today’s update
EIGHTY SEVEN independent computer systems rate BYU as the SEVENTH best team in the nation on average, but one CFP committee, and their “human element,” have BYU at 11, coincidentally, just outside of the CFP field

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.

One to heal. One to harm.

This should be the biggest news story of the year.
The former CDC director just said that YOUR tax dollars funded the creation of COVID and his colleagues lied about it to cover their own asses.
Where the hell is the media?
In 2017, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report finding “clear evidence that the Kremlin is financing and choreographing anti-fracking propaganda in the United States.”
We import 595,000 barrels of oil per day from Russia.
The Keystone XL pipeline would have produced 830,000 barrels per day.
Relying on Russian oil is a choice. And it’s a stupid one.
