"Legit I do not see what BYU is missing. Whine about their schedule if you want. They have an NFL QB, multiple NFL linemen, multiple NFL receivers, even an obvious NFL kicker. If you watch them play, you get it" - Alex Kirshner
Said early In the year CFB playoff should expand in a year of uncertainty. Makes even more sense now as season has progressed. @BYUfootball is outstanding and should deserve to be in the conversation for the Top 4.

The question with non-P5 teams is often, could they match a good P5 team in the trenches?

All five BYU offensive line starters are at least 6-foot-5 and 300 pounds. They are massive and they're one of the best OLs in the country.
Quite a statement by BYU. I'd love to see them have a shot. Zach Wilson and an athletic defense would give them a chance. But the schedule ... Don't blame Tom Holmoe who deserves AD of the year for putting it together amid a pandemic.

I have nothing against the Utes, nor the Utah fans.

But man, I can’t help myself when it comes to saying Zach Wilson is the best QB in college football.
And that he’d smash the Utes this year, the year of our Lord Sitake, 2020 🤣🤣

Keep an eye on @BYUfootball QB Zach Wilson joining the conversation as a 2021 1st rounder. He checks off a lot of boxes as a talented passer with athleticism, toughness and a high IQ. Teams looking for a QB1 could have a lot of options in next years draft. #NFLDraft

Zach Wilson is a significantly better prospect than Manziel was.
