I think they take UC on the basis of BYU being an independent. BYU basically have no guarantee of of either CFP at large or NY6 because of the lack of conference affiliation. They do not have the same agreement as ND does with the CFP. Also if you look at BYU's schedule. They've beaten Houston and Navy and those are their strongest opponents. The rest of their schedule is trash until this weekend when they get a ranked Boise St in Boise. They still have to play SDSU at the end of the season as well. Not sure what they're going to do with the Army game. It's listed as postponed but they could conceivably reschedule it for Dec 19. BYU is very good but their schedule strength isn't going to help them out here
I'll take Boise in that game.

One person's take about the bias of the selection committee. "Enjoy Cincinnati for what they are, because the playoff committee surely won’t"

BYU and the Bearcats would be a helluva game. Hard to choose between them. Boise was limited with 3rd string freshman QB so they didn't give it their best shot..Unfortunately Covid is playing a big role in a lot of outcomes and we have been fortunate so far. Bearcats are really getting some respect. A national TV opportunity today would go a long way in the eye test if we play well. I agree our conference affiliation is preferred to an independent. Its a shame we missed our Nebraska opportunity which could have put us over the top. Usually fan followings to bowl games weighs heavily in decisions. Both BYU and UC would travel well normally but Covid negates that factor as well.
Just take em one at a time, keep racking up W's, and things will take care of themselves.Go Bearcats!

I was thinking the same thing. For those who didn't watch the game Boise lost the starting qb on i believe it's first offensive series to what looked like a concussion on a run. Kind of a freak play, but once you saw the backups you knew it was game over. Although watching Boise, they are not where they've been recently and looked like a rebuilding year for them. I had not seen them play in their first 2 games, but didn't have the quickness they typically possess.

I disagree on Herbie. I think he is objective and fair. I haven't noticed any negative sentiment towards UC he is a big REDS fan and Fickell supporter.
BYU can't jump us (at least in the polls) unless we lose, then they would deserve to. Voting for the playoffs is another story. If the big boys take care of business, 3 of those spots are locked up. If ND loses 1 or 2 they are probably out. The 4th spot is a PAC 12 team if they play enough games and have an undefeated option., or BYU or UC also if undefeated. Lots can still happen - just keep winning.

Hopefully the Army/BYU game gets rescheduled so we can see where we stand. I'm a bit worried that Memphis is losing to USF right now and SMU is struggling wtih Temple... maybe these teams we have been running over aren't as good as in years past.
Tulsa to close the season might end up being a big test.

I expect to to fall to #7 when the polls come out this morning. Florida upsetting Georgia will vault them past us probably and I expect that SEC bias might send Texas A&M past us as well. Florida's lone loss is to A&M. A&M lost to Alabama. We haven't played teams of that difficulty at all.Brent Wyrick

I agree. I expected both Fla and A&M to pass us and deservedly so. Hopefully that drop still keeps us probably 1 spot ahead of BYU. Interesting to see what they do with Clemson. A ND loss would have simplified this and that result really hurts our chances.
