with 18, 17 and 15 losing, do we rise? Only LSU at 19 won convincingly.

Most teams below us lost as well.

We may advance by virtue of attrition, not merit.

The season was over 3 games ago. It's purely entertainment value from here on out. The game tonight was entertaining. This season cannot end fast enough.

When we lost our linebackers, and Reed early, the chances for success against Tcu diminished significantly.

SDSU should be a stat game and AFA could be dangerous, with Utah being a likely double digit loss. a meaningless bowl game to follow. Next year can't start soon enough.

I honestly don't think BYU should be Top 25 team. I think Utah and TCU are. I feel Utah should be around the 15-18 range and TCU around 12th.

I agree. BYU has a top twenty-five offense but a bottom twenty-five defense.

Utah is solid defensively and okay offensively. TCU is fairly solid all around.

I am just glad we won. That game was much scarier than I would have guessed. This team needs to find itself on defense, and fast. Otherwise, they are in for a train wreck. Again.

I guess you guys all thought that 9 games in we would have a really good record...something like 9-0 or 8-1, eh?

This is BYU football at its best.....exciting offense, forgettable defense, playing for a largely uninteresting conference championship and an even more forgettable bowl game.

Truthfully, how many times have we started 8-1, with no OOC losses? This is actually a pretty good year for us.

Breaking news: TCU 13, CSU 7.

We really suck.

The transitive property of victory is of no value. TCU 34 BYU 7. We sucked when it mattered most.

Archae needs to get a griip... you guys have a great chance at going 12-1 for the year...At worst you end 11-2 That is a helluva season.
