Really think they shouldn't have lost to either Cincy or Texas Tech. If they played either of those teams again I think they beat both. Would have been awesome to have another highly ranked big 12 team, but at least they finally broke into the top 25.
@ agree. Leavitt is a completely different QB now. He would probably light up TTU now. Our lack of QB depth is very concerning, though. I miss those days of having stacked QB depth.
This game is a tossup. I will say BYU,CU and ASU were all favored to finish 13th,15th and 16th so it’s tight they’re 1,2 and 3 in the standings. The fact ASU is 8-2 when virtually every sun devil thought 5-7 would be a huge step in the right direction is absolutely wild. This games a tossup.
This is at Arizona State and you think it would be a harsh environment for BYU but there is a huge presence of the Mormon faith in Arizona. So there will be a lot of BYU fans there also.
As an ASU fan, I believe they will get the win this weekend at home. Regardless, this has and will finish out as a great season for ASU for a variety of reasons, most of which in my book is our coach. ASU's future is probably as bright or brighter than any other team in the BIG12 and that includes Colorado. ASU is going to keep Coach K and he will make them a national power, he will. #FEARTHEFORK
The bias in college sports is still alive and well with the SEC and BIG 10 benefiting the most. But please explain to me how Notre Dame, Penn State and Indiana are so highly ranked? Even with BYU's loss to Kansas, is that a worse loss than that of Notre Dame? Who has Notre Dame or any of these teams beat compared to BYU? The BIG 12 will probably only get one team into the playoff due to this bias, but at least the 12 team playoff makes it more fair than ever before.
If we didn’t hire Dilly you know he woulda been your OC right? 😂 I got so much love for Deion and hope he stays. A solid rivalry between CU/ASU would be great for the conference
ASU has one of the best 3rd and 4th down defenses in the country. We may not get a lot of TFLs and sacks, but we are good at keeping an offense progress down the field when it matters most
This copout that claims it takes 45 minutes to explain tie breakers is nonsense. If BYU wins this week, they are likely in the CCG. If they win both their final 2 games then they are definitely in the CCG. For ASU, if they win both their last 2 games (BYU and UA), they are most likely in the CCG unless BYU loses to Houston, in which ASU would NOT benefit from the head to head over BYU if the Cougars lose three straight to go 9-3. That would mean losing to Houston in that scenario. There are ways Iowa State is still alive but ASU doesn't have to worry about them unless Colorado loses a game to join the 2 loss conference game club and then BYU loses 3 straight. Colorado will be favored to win both games. Iowa State still has to play Kansan State, assuming they get by Utah at RES. So ASU is probably 90 percent likely to be in the CCG IF they win BOTH upcoming games.
BYU wins with the superior defense, and balanced offense, if they don't lose the turnover battle. BYU only lost to Kansas after a freak punt play hitting the defender's helmet and cold, wet conditions led to the football squirting out of our DB's hands, giving KU an easy TD shortly after.
When you consider this one, be sure to note that turnovers will play a huge role. ASU is 8th best in the nation for not turning the ball over. BYU is 54th. While both teams do have the same turnover margin (+9), BYU is aided mostly by three games where Arizona, Utah, and Kansas State gave it to them 3+ times each. ASU won't do that. Yet BYU has almost double the giveaways on the season that ASU has. Consider that along with that critical 3rd down conversation stat, and you've got yourself an ASU victory.
@silbannacusofoxyrhynchus6096 I didn't say it would be easy. Just that I think ASU will win. ASU also has a good record for a reason, both teams have played close games and know how to win them. I think there are keys to the game that will give ASU enough of an edge to win.
Although ASU will be good at home, BYU is regrouping and their almost perfect season is on the line. I wouldn't bet against them. They are strong in every area of the game and won't be losing off of a fluke...as they did last week.
Interesting. I think it will be whoever runs the ball better will win. I think both teams have great rushing attacks. I think BYU has a better rush defense than asu... If BYU can run the ball like they did against UCF and control the clock, they will beat ASU by two scores. If ASU can run the ball like OK State did against BYU, I think ASU will win easily.
ASU beating BYU will give ASU the head to head and BYU would NOT make the CCG. The question is who goes out of ISU and ASU if they both run the table? BYU has scored 15 v. Utah and 13, at home, v. Kansas in their last 2 games. Retzlaff has completed 50% of his passes the last 2 games. That isn't enough to beat ASU. Sorry. And none of that matters, because neither of them will beat Colorado in the CCG. And two teams from the B12 will NOT make the CFP.
@mtanner5168 lmfao you sound like the delusional Utah fans before the buffs beatdown them down..first off your sorry ass defense is gonna get toasted by shedeur, he ain't gonna miss the open wr's like byu's qb 🤡💯
The improvements they’ve needed to make have been obvious all season, their loss to Kansas definitively exposed them. Unless they can correct a season of weaknesses in one week, this will be another loss for them. ASU on the other hand, has actively corrected most of their biggest weaknesses throughout the season. IE poor passing, weak D-line, bad secondary. Their biggest weakness that hasn’t improved much is the kicking game.
Byu is having a hard time scoring more than 13 to 17 points a game Their quarterback is terrible, martin injured and not running very well. chase Roberts is having to catch everything down by his ankles , laster has to run an extra thirty feet to run down a wounded duck and now they have to play a team that has won more than five games this year.
Coach says there ready to go he has dumb down this offense for Jake to under stand , he has put picture on poster boards wrote down the 4 plays he will be useing on a wristband, we have worked with him to get his throws above the receivers ankles , if he can't remember the plays, he can look at the sidelines at the pictures. we're ready there will be no more calling time out 1 min into the game.
Where do you think ASU would be ranked had they not lost to Cincinnati?
@@PFFCFB where they are. They only ranked ASU after there was no other choice after beating KSU and the big 12 race being close to an end
Well, it doesn’t really matter, but probably about 5 spots higher.
@@pinchevulpes they’d be ranked higher if they had only one loss.

In the Media poll Colorado was picked 11th and BYU 13th.
They have certainly exceeded expectations.
@@gregjross852 I think it will either be close or ASU will blow them out. I don’t see BYU blowing out ASU

Let’s keep the Big12 title in the PAC
Retzlaff is currently #64 in total QBR, in the country. Sam Levitt is currently #20.

ASU always struggles with pass rush. Last time they had a pass rush was the Will Sutton/Dennis Erickson days
56.9 pass rushing grade as a team which is worst in the big 12. This will certainly play a big factor
Asu fans. We will enjoy regardless the result! We had a great season and happy now!:) just Beat Kitty and come to Holiday bowl in SD!:))
hell we’ve come this far, why not win this one and win out so we can show prime time what real big12 football is about
Beat both, then Colorado and play in the playoffs. Let’s go devils.

Lost because they couldn't stop the run and then got exploited by a few deep passes. Lost the turnover battle and also time of possession.

Most of those games there was a lot of dropped easy catches. His stats would be even better if the receivers made those plays!
ASU defense is great at creating turnovers though. No one is talking about that
11 interceptions on the season which is tremendous!
It’s still possible to get two big 12 teams
Doesn't seem likely the way the committee has laid out the rankings thus far
Lifelong BYU fan. I’m used to disappointment and I suspect that we will once again not rise to the occasion. Please prove me wrong cougars.
