Well @franfraschilla , so close yet so far away. Wasn't able to come down and see you and Boog... Also, saw Keyshawn Hall in action tonight! Getting the Hoops blood flowing
BYU had a better SOS and SOR than ND and Miami going into this weekend, lost in similar fashion to Alabama andyet they were the only ones to drop. I get Alabama's resume was good, but the logic for dropping one and not the other makes me feel insane.
Per our friends @OptaSTATS:
Today’s sellout of 85,519 at the Edward Jones Big 12 Football Championship is the largest crowd ever at a Power Four football championship game.
It's a shame really. Apples to oranges, but in NCAAB, we celebrate high ranked teams seeing each other so early in the season.
If your schedule changes so drastically for "lesser opponents." If you have an "App St" moment, that should disqualify you from CFP play.
Get ready to see this happen all over the sport. If it’s only about how many wins ya have and not who you’re playing and where you’re playing you’re gonna see every AD make these same moves. Kiss meaningful non conference games in late August and early September goodbye. Cupcakes moving forward till teams get to conference play.
How much credit do I want to take here... 🤣
You're welcome @TexasLonghorns
Thanks to @CoachSark for joining me on the @elitemediasport Pre Game show!
Only team with three top 10 wins in the country and losses to the #1 and #4 team. Put em in the @CFBPlayoff
It's going to sound crazy, but hear me out...
@TexasTechFB and @BYUfootball win out. Face each other in the @Big12Conference Championship Game.
If Texas Tech loses a close game in Dallas and BYU enter the CFP as B12 Champion, I dare the CFP to keep Tech out.
Garbage Call!!! Just can’t call it… so tired of offenses getting extra sticks due to every ticky-tack call!! Just can’t have these calls deciding so many games!
