If losing Cincinnati and UConn would have been a crippling blow in your opinion, how do you describe losing Cincinnati, UConn, Houston, and UCF? It's not technically impossible to reach the playoff as an independent though it is more difficult without an automatic bid as a conference champion. Also, just because a team goes independent in football, doesn't necessarily mean that it will always be independent in football.

Trust me, BYU is not clamoring for representation from Craig Thompson.

They probably could have kept BYU in the conference without even going that far - even if they'd just been granted rebroadcast rights for their football games (as they were told and expected at the onset of the TV contract negotiations).

Didn't his kid play for the Aztecs?

Not true.

Looks like Max Hall has the most yards/season of anyone on that list since he only played 3 seasons.

Not that Emery is an elite perimeter defender or anything, but you wouldn't have seen it last season anyway since he took the year off.

Fun game, Wolfpack (except for all the excessive foul calls). You guys have a lot of great talent accumulated. Was pleased that we hung with you for the first 25-30 minutes.

Any updated polls on this?

I addressed Nick Emery in my earlier post:
