Any chance they go to LA and just wait for 1 of the Top 4 Pac-12 teams to start coughing??

How is BYU going to catch Coastal Carolina?

Indiana's playing Purdue on Saturday so there will be less chance of BYU passing Indiana in the rankings.

If fans were a factor, the Fiesta Bowl would probably rather have BYU than an East Coast team who wouldn't have many fans traveling across the country. Too bad that won't be a factor this year.

If Coastal loses to Louisiana and BYU defeats Oregon or Colorado. Humans are often swayed by recency bias (especially if a holy P5 team is defeated).

Thanks for the heads up on Indiana. I see the Big Ten scheduled Minnesota-Wisconsin and MSU-Maryland, as many were hoping. Georgia is not going to lose to Vanderbilt either.
