Even though BYU ended undefeated, the road to the Playoffs shrank this weekend despite the surprising victory over Boise State. For what? Clemson’s defeat to Notre Dame was devastating. The Cougars needed the Irish to lose to the Tigers and lose the ACC finals again sooner to avoid being in the Top 10. Kirk Herbstreit is one of BYU’s loudest enthusiasts and has a margin of victory. But given the calendar, he’s just not smart enough to get into the last four. \ “
Launderer Report
Bowl: Orange bowl
Rival: Miami
I have a feeling there would be a lot of problems in this game. The bowl and opponent would be fun, but BYU has never won a school football game in the state of Florida.
Bleacher Report also included the following related to BYU and Cincinnati’s path to school football playoffs:
“BYU and Cincinnati will have to win, making Clemson lose a moment against Notre Dame and Alabama beating Florida to create a trail to the seeded No. four and can remain undefeated. If the effects fall in their favor, one of them may be seed number four, but for now, they are outdoor hunting inside. \ “
