One Loss Makes All the Difference

         Well, looks like BYU's luck finally ran out. Against a 4-6 Kansas at home, no less. In all fairness, most of Jayhawks' losses this season have been less than one possession. However, the Cougars committed critical mistakes as shown in this clip:

         That eventually became a touchdown for Kansas, which sealed the game.

         Regardless, the BYU offense was terrible the entire night. I fear they will not be able to beat Arizona State next week. Believe it or not, if Colorado and Arizona State win the rest of their regular schedule, BYU would be out of the Big 12 championship. The typical BYU fan doesn't understand that the margin for errors is small in the conference. The Cougars may have exceeded expectations this year, but it's a sad way to go.

         Penn State had another cupcake game. There was nothing to celebrate. I can't see the Nittany Lions not winning the rest of the regular season.


         In other news, we shall see how the Playoff Committee ranks Georgia and Tennessee. I guess it will be like the Georgia loss against Ole Miss where a team's loss translates into two SEC teams in the top 12 because of stat padding and bias.

         Yes, I can see the number of Big Ten teams in the top 5. The Big Ten spreads their teams out to avoid mass casualties. That's how they can appear to have one or no losses this late in the season. SEC gets the hype bias to jack up their ranking. That's how you can have the Georgia and Tennessee scenario where losing adds another team from your conference to the cutoff.

         Two more games left in the regular season. We will see who gets to play in conference championships soon.

That Oregon/Wisconsin game actually ended up being a really good game. Oregon fans probably wouldn't agree, but I didn't think there was any way it was going to be that close.

I didn't watch that game. Saw the score was close.

I just watched the end of it. The Tennessee Georgia game was quite close as well... Until it wasn't.

The BYU might actually be surprising to win the Arizona state next week…

It’d be surprising if that happens.

One bad game really makes a difference, and it's one game they really should have won at home. They had best beat Arizona State soundly if they want any chance at redemption this season. Their offense really was horrible, but even the best can have an off day! We will see how these last two games go, hopefully good for BYU and Penn St.

If BYU can beat ASU, then I'll feel better about the rest of the season.

BYU will have to beat two more top-25 teams to win the conference championship. That alone will hush many SEC fans with their "but Bama has beaten four top-25 teams!" vitriol.

It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks, that's for sure!
