He has all but 11 of the BYU passing attempts this season.  Bachmeier is indeed a Freshman, but he's been playing damn well for the Cougars.

He's not 'new.'

Discussed upthread, but also thought BYU pulled the reins in the 3rd a little, and most definitely in the 4th.  It was some boring-ass, plain vanilla play calling by both teams, with the prospect of a possible rematch looming.

It is not that dumb, we are going to be the last at large in this week and the 9 teams in front of us are not going to move that much. If we lose to Georgia it is something like 

B1G

OSU

Indiana (or Ohio State whoever loses the B1G)

2 of A&M, Alabama, Ole Miss (depending on who wins the SEC)

Big 12 Champ 

Georgia (they miss the SEC game)

Oregon 

ND


..

So 3 loss Texas with wins over A&M, Vanderbilt, and Oklahoma would be battling to be the 5th SEC team in against the 4th Big 10 team, the 2nd big 12 team and the 2nd ACC team. I just don’t think it is as clear cut that for sure a 3 loss team is getting in, i do think it would be close. 

Read what I wrote  I said definitely getting in above us for a reason because I was responding to a moron who said absolutely no chance if we lose to GA. Every computer has 9/3 texas north of 70% ringer in. It’s not a metaphysical certainty or anything but to say no chance is idiotically dumb. 
mall those teams you were talking about getting in probably have losses ahead of them. Michigan. Georgia Tech, USC, OU will all be prohibitive favorites to not win out. We just need that to happen. If it doesn’t we also have river card outs with the chance for Oregon to lose twice, MSST to lose to Florida or Ole Miss or Domers to lose. No chance with a loss to Georgia?  Incredibly fucking dumb man. That’s what I was replying to.

Texas & OU tied for 10th in Coach’s poll w/ both Georgia Tech & BYU behind them

SC is a team to watch. A 10-2 SC and 10-2 Oregon would be a pretty compelling to the committee. 
 

People don’t want to talk about it but OSU is a team with a lot of bread on the schedule outside of Texas.  They have, however, won convincingly most games.

Fans and talking heads overvalue “big” wins (and overly punish big losses). And they undervalue consistent winning when teams are moderate favorites or moderate dawgs. You’ll look at 5 game stretch where a team is at 75% chance to win and think its a walk; but each of those dogs has a better chance to win than the favorite to emerge unscathed.  Drop a game or two to 60 or 55 percent chance of winning and its really a longshot.

Either or both SC and Oregon at 10-2 will absolutely be in the playoffs. It seems unlikely that they both will finish 10-2. Lot of loseable games on the schedule for each team and the only way they could both be 10-2 is if USC wins at Oregon which won’t be how the game is favored to go.

How would 10-2 Oregon be compelling? They would have played 3 good teams and lost to 2 of them.

OSU has a resume comparable to your school, just with more cache. One legit win and a whole bunch of bread. But unlike Texas, for example, OSU and A&M have generally showed up and flexed muscle against their bread.
