Bowl Game! What Opponent Do YOU Want to See?
I feel for ducks fans here. Liberty? Talk about a no-win situation. However, that does beat not going to a bowl game.

'New Entrants' to Pac-12 Media Deal per Canzano
BYU's past viewing ranks were only due to those games with G5's that dragged our numbers down. When we played P5's, our numbers were much higher. For example our late night game vs Baylor was the highest in that time slot since 2016 at 2.2mm.

Blah, Blah Blah, Pac 12 Media Deal to be Announced "In the Near Future", But Not Friday/Media Day
I think much of that has to do with the bursting media rights bubble. Networks are cutting costs and now people realize that programs are at risk of decreased exposure which effects other things.

Not at all, Oregon will be fine regardless, because they'll have a good landing spot one way or another. And I'm not trolling, just pointing out why a media deal is crucial to a conference and its programs.

It's a big deal because a conference/program's exposure is on the line. Exposure is the lifeblood of a program. It's the reason Oregon has thrived the past 2+ decades and was a boost to our program.

'New Entrants' to Pac-12 Media Deal per Canzano
I live in the Dallas area and pretty much nobody follows SMU here. That death penalty in the 80s really did a number on their program.

Pac 12 Media Deal Losing More Ground
Turning their noses up at (and snubbing) BYU didn't help either.

THE TOP 25 CFP RANKINGS HAVE ARRIVED‼️
#8 is about as good as a scenario as could have been hoped for. Gives plenty of time to rise 4 spots should things shake up enough in the coming weeks.

Canzano: Big 12 Beats Pac-12 to Finish Line -- but not Bottom Line
I think much of it will come down to whether the P12 does equal or unequal shares of the revenue. If UO and UW each take a much bigger slice of the pie in a tiered system, then the four corner schools will be making much less and will have every incentive to either 1. not sign a GOR with the P12 or 2. bolt for the B12. Never discount the value of exposure. Sure, revenue is great to hang your hat on, but thinking long term, exposure is how you build your brand and value and is every bit as important (if not more important than) revenue.

Canzano: Big 12 Beats Pac-12 to Finish Line -- but not Bottom Line
BYU has a bigger brand then Utah (and a much bigger and national fanbase), Utah's fanbase is mostly around SLC, so its fairly regional. One could argue we have as big or bigger (or shall I say, more national of) a brand then UW given the national reach and spread of the sponsoring institution. And when it comes to Oregon, one can argue that lately Oregon has the bigger brand, but historically might be a different matter, so it may be a tossup. Oregon draws viewers, but all three of those schools fanbases are mostly regional.

Good Luck Guys!
I arrived in Eugene yesterday and I absolutely love it here. What a great town! Anyways I just wanted to wish y'all a good, fun, injury-free game and a good. fun, safe afternoon, regardless of the result of the game (please wish me the same, I'm having to triple my dosage of Prozac for this game, lol)! I'll be at Rennies Landing this morning if any of y'all want to join me?

A Conference Realignment Question for BYU Fans
To be honest, we are very excited to be joining the Big 12, though geographically we fit in better with the Pac 12. We feel it will be a better fit for us then the Pac 12. Independence was a fun experiment and its neat that our last season of independence is also has our best schedule but we are excited about moving on to a P5 conference after decades of waiting.

People in Utah Cheering FOR Oregon on Saturday? Really?
It was between LaVell Edwards and Ron McBride, then Urban Meyer turned it toxic.

And you can thank Urban Meyer for starting all of that. It used to be a friendly rivalry.

I can understand the discernment. We can be a bit cocky, if not arrogant at times.

It extends statewide and is spread throughout the country through the Utah culture. (Am I allowed to say that here?)

No. 21 BYU Takes Down No. 9 Baylor, 26-20...Tough Game Next Week
I think this game is going to be just as tough a test for us as Baylor was, but in different ways. While I know we can match Oregon's physicality, y'alls speed and scheme are going to prove a challenge and a tall order. I'm also worried about an emotional let down after the emotional roller coaster we went through with the 2 OT game against Baylor on Saturday night and thinking that we took too long celebrating the win in our minds before moving onto Oregon. Here's hoping to a great game and that my BYU cougars won't choke or not show up on Saturday. Either way, it's a win/win for me. Either my cougars win or my late father's ducks win.

Yes and yes, Oregon will be a much, much tougher test then USF.

No. 21 BYU Takes Down No. 9 Baylor, 26-20...Tough Game Next Week
One thing to keep in mind about Baylor is that they had (according to Phil Steele) the #7 offensive line and #4 defensive line units. Baylor is a tough, physical, well-coached team that really attacks the line of scrimmage.
