Why shouldn’t BYU be in?

Don’t worry the committee will mess this up bad

Because they weren't in before the game. They needed the CC to be one of the 5 highest ranked conference champions and secure an autobid. They didn't get it.

Because they were not in before the loss. They won't move up. You have to be #10

lol this is like biggest toddler tantrum syndrome right here. “It’s mine!!”

Please explain. We are posting facts. You are posting stupid shite.

Portland State
Stanford
East Carolina
Colorado
West Virginia
Arizona
Utah
Iowa state
Texas tech
TCU
Cincinnati
UCF

That’s why.

If Alabama deserves to stay in so does byu.

They were #11? Why wouldn’t they be a top 12 team if they didn’t lose a game?

Five auto bids leaves 7 teams. A one loss BYU at #11 would be in.

Because there are these rules that say 5 conference champions have to be in

Committee basically said last weeks rankings don’t mean shite. Another reason why this argument from op is trash.

But that’s the rub, isn’t it?

We can poke holes in this system all day long. None of it makes sense.

BYU isn’t in because their strength of schedule is shite and they haven’t done anything to really convince the committee they can compete for an NC. But they had enough of a resume to be ranked #11 before their conference championship game, which could only hurt them.

James Madison’s SOS is shite, and they would NEVER be considered a top 12 team. But they won their games, so they get an AQ. Therefore, their SOS doesn’t matter.

Alabama’s SOS is challenging, but they look like shite in the last quarter of the season, finishing with a blowout loss to a team that actually is competitive for the NC. But the eye test doesn’t matter because of their #9 ranking, which is much better than a #11 ranking. Losses don’t matter either as they have 3.

ND’s SOS is mediocre, and they won nothing of note, but they’re potentially jumping Alabama, who lost their conference championship game, which is the only thing that could keep them (Alabama) out. Wins don’t matter.

Duke won their conference, but as a five loss team, isn’t eligible for the AQ because the AQ isn’t actually an AQ at all—it’s just a place marker for higher ranked teams to get in. Conference championships don’t matter. So playing the easiest schedule imaginable in an AQ conference is preferable, meaning SOS doesn’t matter.

We’re hitting a wall here. AQ matters and doesn’t matter. SOS matters and doesn’t matter. Conference championship matters and doesn’t matter. Losses matter and don’t matter. Wins matter and don’t matter. Eye test matters and doesn’t matter.

Matter is a really fricking weird word when you use it over and over.

Point is - and the problem always plaguing CFB - is that these arbitrary measurements for “finding” a champion always fall short and never make sense.

Why shouldn’t BYU be in? Which of the above criteria matters this time? Because it seems to change.
