It’s striking to observe the similarities between the Nixon era and today - conservatives initially sought to influence the Nixon Administration, but eventually had to break with him as he adopted left-conservative policies and allowed corruption to infect his Administration. The break at the time was controversial, but it led to a conservative rebirth in 1980. The nation was better for it. Thanks @LauraTrevelyan and @noosphereapp for the discussion.

BYU is the only team in the Big 12 in the Top 30 in yards per play and yards per play allowed. And they've achieved this largely without LJ Martin.

In the last month, BYU has played 2 top 5 teams and went 1-1. That’s the difference for BYU that we didn’t have in 2024 & 2025. None of the currently ranked Big 12 teams in the Top 25 have had that opportunity either. That’s what keeping BYU ahead of TTU & Houston.

BYU & the Big 12 are finally getting the respect they deserve due to BYU's win against #5 ND, its competitive, one-score loss against #2 Utah & going 30-6 since 2024. BYU's SOS is on par with USC, Iowa, & Missouri. Among the Big 12 teams in the Top 25, BYU has the highest SOS.

This is why BYU is #10 despite the UCF loss in 2OT: -The Big 12 is viewed as the Big Ten this year -BYU has 1 of the best wins in the country against #5 ND -Played in a competitive, 1 score game against #2 Utah -The parity/chaos in CFB this year (i.e. Georgia's loss to Auburn)

-BYU has gone 30-6 since 2024 -BYU's SOS is 30th, which is in the Top 12 of the current Top 25.

My reaction to the latest CFP rankings... 1. Opportunities to move up 2. Threats behind BYU 3. Does BYU want to make the Big 12 title game? 4. There's a non-zero chance BYU could play Utah in the Rose Bowl si.com/college/byu/football/…

BYU lost to Utah because they knew the committee wouldn’t finally take them seriously until they had a quality loss

Win out & BYU should be a CFP participant at 10-2. Maybe that 98% number from ESPN's playoff predictor was on to something #BYUfootball #BYU
BYU dropped all of one spot in the CFP rankings! Wild times. Notre Dame win is giving them clout as they sit at #10

All I want to see is BYU play its best football in these last 3 games, especially with getting LJ back. Get the run game back, take care of the ball & finish the tackles. If BYU did that against UCF & Utah, BYU is undefeated. I don't think this is a fluke team. We beat AZ & ND.

BYU Fans, Frankly speaking, The defacto "@CFBPlayoff" starts for BYU vs. Baylor on Saturday. The Cougars are in a must-win "playoff" scenario for the final 3 regular season games & have a great path to solidify the case for a Top 10 finish in the CFP poll at 10-2. Win 3, GET IN!

Why is Bear Bachmeier the only guy who can’t have a bad day? #byu #byufootball #utah #big12 #lds

My biggest concerns right now: • The defense hasn’t recorded an INT in over a month. • In each of the last 3 games, BYU has had the ball with a lead right before half. Instead of extending the lead, all 3 drives have ended with picks. BYU went on to lose 2 of those 3 games.

Feeling for Bear right now. I'm sure he wanted to win more than anyone. He willed us to victory last year. What an incredible person and talent! If you're out there, we love you, man. Great things ahead.

Crazy to think that 3 short weeks ago BYU was riding high after the ND win, ranked #2, feeling this was the year & we’d be a lock for the CFP. And here we are with a slim chance to make the CFP. Feels like 2024 & 2025. Sometimes it’s painful to be a BYU fan. Hope we bounce back!

Pretty cool to see how much BYU’s Kalani Sitake and Utah’s Morgan Scalley respect each other after yet another awesome Holy War. Both played in the rivalry and both have coached in it for years. Two guys who know how much this means to the Beehive State. College football rocks

Are we going to see a third straight year of almost for BYU & CFP? BYU can’t say they didn’t have their chances.
