First speaker at Stake Conference was a young man who started his talk by saying โIt is an honor to speak from the same pulpit as my favorite basketball player of all time, Richie Saunders, who was here two weeks agoโ. @RichSaunders10 Please share with your son.
@RichSaunders10 He is having just as big of an impact off the court as he is on. My son is on a service mission and was there as well and loved the fireside!
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.
BYU should be in the College Football Playoff.
-11-1 in a Power 4 Conference Champ Game
-#6 Strength of Record
-T-Most wins over teams with a winning record
-Better SOS than Ole Miss, Notre Dame, Miami
Wins and loses matter.
Who you beat matters.
Stop persecuting Christians.
It seems that BYU started the year doing more pistol and is now doing more single back and split back. Am I off-base? Any insight on why that is? @gregwrubell#cougarcpl
