They barely beat Oregon State due to bad calls I'd bend over backwards for Oregon or Southern Cal. Not for this team, especially with their fans too. Washington isn't some end all, be all for if BYU is good or not. If they'll guarantee the game, great. If they won't, they can eff right off. They're the ones that have played 2 games and only have 2 more the rest of this year. But sure, we "need" the game. Surprisingly we are on the same page with this.

CougarBen Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Well, sounds like BYU is playing SDSU this weekend, so that SDSU can attempt to reschedule their game with Fresno State. Oh, and BYU is still paying SDSU for the game and not threatening to cancel if something they deem better comes along. Man, the PAC-12 truly is filled with some of the most despicable leadership in sports. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have any knowledge of where their players are. I do know the contract offer that Washington made to BYU, was the most one sided contract it the history of modern college football.

madmartigan Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 5 hours ago, Jack Bauer said: I didn’t say it wouldn’t improve. I said it wouldn’t change very much given how poor it is already. BYU doesn’t owe Washington anything, and why is an unranked PAC team the threshold for BYU’s year? Washington has beaten two teams in 5he bottom third of cfb. If BYU beat them people here will just say Washington sucked just like when BYU beat Boise. If they lost, fine, BYU wasn’t good enough and you know the rest of the story Unfair are not P5 wins are held In much higher regard even if the team that you beat isn’t good. That perception goes a long way and shows the committee you made an effort to play more teams with a pulse. Hopefully BYU is able to add another quality opponent. This BYU team to me looks like one of the better teams BYU has fielded in a few decades. You gotta push all your chips in with a team like this. It might also be a case where church leadership is asking BYU to do all they can to secure a NY6 bowl to help with budget shortfalls. Pure conjecture on my part. The church aspect makes all things more complicated . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Headbutt Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 2 hours ago, Pelado said: I want more games against the best teams we can get. If Washington is the best we can get, then let's play them. But Jack is right, even pummeling Washington won't do much to change the narrative about BYU's schedule. People will say that Coach Peterson is gone and Washington isn't very good this year. Do you honestly believe that BYU has a realistic shot at the playoff? I can dream up scenarios in which BYU makes it in (and I have), but it's just not very likely to happen. Either way, throwing money away at a game that isn't actually going to happen (because the Pac-12 will force a game against Utah when ASU cancels) isn't going to help. An honest assessment. BYU has to finish top 4 in the eyes of the committee to make the NY6. Honestly, that won't happen. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dude, I get that Utah is part of the Pac 12, but that does not mean you have to justify obviously bad behavior. Lost out on scheduling UW for this year? Probably.

What you fail to realize it’s the same contract that EVERY PAC12 team can offer at this time based on COVID and what the conference agreed to. And the PAC12 is the only P5 conference thats offered BYU an OOC game. B1G, BigXII, SEC haven’t stepped up. I don’t even think they are allowed too. So why you think UW is the enemy, the rest of the country views it that they extended the olive branch and you swatted it away 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
