Default For how bad some of you rip on Byu Football your chances of a bcs game aren't that

bad

Currently byu sits at 15. Lets just say they they win out (<shudder>) Here is what would have to happen for them to automatically go to a bcs game

Boise st. has to lose
Ball St. has to lose.

If they win out they will be top 12 in the bcs.

Ok let's say the potato zoobies win out. they get the auto qualifier. BYU however will be in the top 14 and eligible for at large It would go like this:

bama v PSU NC

North Caro v WVA Orange

Oklahoma boise st Fiesta

USC v Texas Rose

This leaves FLA in Sugar versus At large. the big 12 and SEC teams can't send another team (already have 2) and that Leaves only Ohio St needing to Lose (so they arent in the top 14) and byu, ball st or Utah for that matter would be the only eligible teams.

Oh, Lord.

Fortunately, this Fiesta matchup won't repeat, as Oklahoma would have to win the Big12, which won't happen.

Remind me why Ball St. has to lose when they are at 17 and we are at 15? They won't jump us if we win out. You are right Boise does have to lose though and the chances of that are slim.

1) BYU plays bend don't break defense (prevent) the entire game. See how well that worked for TCU last night.
2) Utah missed on at least two TD passes because the TCU defender was stride for stride with the Utah WR and broke up the pass. BYU has no such DB or Safety that is currently seeing action. Pendelton would be the closest. He's not seeing the field.
3) Utah's defense consistenly put pressure on Dalton. They will do likewise against BYU. BYU has been horrible in their blitz packages. Combine time (for the QB) and speed of their WR's, it could be a redux of 2004.
4) Just another game for BYU. Utah has been gearing for this game since last year. You see how well that mentality worked when we played TCU.

BYU's chances are bad. Real bad.

But thanks for your politically correct post on a Cougar message board.

Don't underestimate the Bulldogs of The Valley.

Anytime, anywhere.

The 209 will represent!

Why do you think Pendelton is good? I am not sure why because the kid is a good athlete everyone thinks he is this great safety. He has a box of rocks in his head and he is a pussy, their is a reason he has not seen the field and that he probably wont. He cant unseat Kellen Freaking Fowler or David Tafuna thats how "good" he is.

Also I see you wanted no part of me taking you up on the bet.

13 points allowed and 250 total yards. Good call.

I didn't see your wager response. Can you repost?

BYU shouldn't go to a BCS bowl because they are not that good of a team. Hence, I don't worry my pretty head over it. I hope BYU beats Utah, but at present I don't see it. Even if BYU does beat Utah I still won't believe BYU is a top 10 team.

That's because they had some speed on defense. I forgot that one. BYU has NO speed anywhere on the defense. Jorgensen could be effective on a pass rush, but they have lined him up in a position of no win.
