Trying to decide what part of the AP top 25 I hate the most. Texas Tech dropping a spot on a bye week? Utah getting punished for a comeback win an week after TAMU didn’t get punished for doing the same thing? The ACC getting a bunch of their 2nd-tier teams rated but no love for Arizona or ASU?

I’ll remember him forever as “the coach who used his postgame presser to wax poetic about Bear Bachmeier’s butt”

Watching a back-and-forth K-State/Utah game as a BYU fan who needs Utah to win

I’m pretty tired of CFB playoff discourse. I kind of miss when teams in the 8-15 range were looking forward to a NY6 bowl game. I feel like teams in that range (mine included) are fighting over an opportunity to have the sports world call you “fraudulent“ if you lose a playoff game by 2+ scores.

Messing around with CFB data and I was curious how conference consolidation has generally played out for G5 teams that experienced success. I'm interested to see if the Pac-12 and American Conference will continue to separate themselves from the rest of the G6.

Logged on to Twitter to check in on the CFP conversations and was greeted with an SEC fan calling the G6 autobid “DEI,” so I guess things are still proceeding as normal over there

I want this with every fiber of my being. My first BYU game as a college student was vs. ND in 2004. (I knew nothing about CFB and asked multiple people “this is a big deal, right? Beating Notre Dame is a big deal?” That season it really wasn’t.)

Me, 2012: CFB conference pride is stupid, I can’t stand these ”S-E-C” chants and Ute fans with PAC-12 bumper stickers Me, 2025: ALL HAIL THE BIG 12 🫡🥲

Bear Bachmeier when BYU is down two scores early

I can’t believe Mike Lee gets to ruin my post-rivalry win high. Tired of this energy permeating all facets of life.

Congrats my fellow BYU fans, now if you’ll excuse me I need to puke

If Penn State is ranked higher than Iowa State tomorrow someone’s gotta make one of those “know the work rules” memes

No top 25 team lost to an unranked opponent today, which is kinda boring but at least that means BYU won

He’s been our HC for a decade, and Kalani Sitake has never lost an out-of-conference game. Just an amazing feat.

Let’s not hurdle guys with 90 seconds left, I still have Taysom vs. USU nightmares

I think Bachmeier looks pretty good between the 20s, but man our red zone offense is shaky.

I’m trying to be even-keeled for the next few years, but “network TV late night host forced off TV by pressure from the federal government” strikes me as a pretty obvious red line 🙁

I can always tell if someone is too far gone politically when they start dismissing former interests (like sports) as “bread and circuses.” Those are the things that keep you human, and give you something to talk about outside of your own tribe. You lose that, there’s nothing left to do but seethe.

On repeat, forever and ever.

I wish I could quantify how much mental energy I waste defending my life choices against hypothetical objections that nobody will ever actually make to my face. I'm sure it's a lot.

I don’t want to go over to the other site to check, but how does the “too good for the Big 12” segment of the Utah fanbase react to the current Miss St.-ASU score? Does it reaffirm to them how bad the Big 12 is, or does ASU get a pass since they‘re former Pac-12?

This is becoming painful to watch, even for someone who was rooting against Belicheck/UNC. Feel like I’m watching the football equivalent of the Scott’s Tots episode of the Office.

Someday I’ll stop putting my weekend moods in the hands of a bunch of guys in their teens and early twenties, but not today.

I’m sure someone else has already pointed this out, but: we’ve been clowning on the ACC for their playoff/bowl record, but it looks like the former Pac-12 teams are about to go 1-5.

I’m guessing BYU will end the season ranked ahead of Alabama and honestly we should probably hang a banner for that alone

Enjoying bowl season on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

I don’t envy other fanbases often, but I just hope before either I die or college football dies, I get to see a CFB playoff game in Provo.

Not following the NBA this season for two equally-impactful reasons: 1. The Jazz are really bad 2. Zach Lowe isn’t podcasting

“Keeping Bama out disincentivizes scheduling tough OOO games” is such an odd argument given Bama didn’t play a terribly tough OOO schedule. I wish they’d drop the pretense and just argue outright that they think 3-loss SEC teams are more deserving than 1-loss ACC teams.

My prediction is that the next 24 hours are going to be a reminder of how fragile the FBS is. If SMU gets left out, they got screwed. If Bama gets left out, the SEC and B10 are going to ramp up their “we don’t trust the committee” talk in a year where they got 5 of the 7 at-large bids.

My two teams play in the B12 and MWC. The MWC went 28-33 in non-conf play (17-31 removing FCS), and 3-17 against P4 schools. The B12 went 35-13 in non-conf play (21-13 removing FCS) and 7-10 vs P4 schools. Happy for BSU and UNLV, but I think the committee is showing them a LOT of grace.

I wasn’t in a place to enjoy football in 2020, so this BYU team has been my favorite to follow since 2009. Really special season.

One last game. #GoCougs (the blue ones)

This is the kind of civility and bridge-building that makes BlueSky the superior social media network.
