BYU Cougars BIG 12 TITLE hopes are real. Can Kalani Sitake's team win a national championship?

[@SvdSinner]

'80s BYU with Jim McMahon was one of my favorite stories in all of of CFB. As an ISU fan, if we don't win, I'll be cheering for BYU.

[@dirkpalmer1067]

I was at BYU then, 77-82. McMahon was special indeed. THE "it" factor!

[@teti_99]

My Dad played on that team 💯

Spencer, I'm telling you, its possible to get the idea that you are liking BYU. I'm telling you, you NEED to keep predicting they lose. Since Fanduel predicts them down to UCF, you can legitimately predict UCF, even though we both know... ahem...

[@LockedOnCollegeFootball]

I'm not changing my ways. I owe it to BYU fans for doubting them

[@19mindmechanic55]

Spencer, I didn't see a show where you talked about Florida-Kentucky. If I missed it, and its possible to let me know when or where to look (or send a link, even?), I'd be grateful. Thank you.

[@LockedOnCollegeFootball]

Going to talk about Florida on Thursday!

Love your podcast Spencer. BYU can get to Arlington, but not sure they will win the Big XII championship game, especially if they have to replay K-State. No team has ever beaten a team twice the same season. Not saying it can't happen, but K-State will have something to prove. The question I have is what happens if K-State runs the table, ISU takes their only loss to K-State at the end of the season and BYU goes undefeated in the regular season until the Big XII championship game. We have three one-loss teams. Can they keep the conference from getting two teams in the CFP?

[@techsunbreakrooms5920]

I can't get this pessimistic if I tried. Whether BYU is good-or great this year, y'all need to get behind your team.

[@Brutici]

byu does good when people think they bad. byu loses upsets when they get high up.

[@irlhimmel]

Jake there was no way UCF coulda shoulda won against Colorado. That was a dominating game by the Buffs.

[@bigriggu]

With the PAC-12 set to make its return in a year and half, any chance we could see the return of Locked On PAC-12? Locked On PAC-12 was a fantastic show when it existed.

[@kendalldean9612]

Are you serious? A bogus league.....

[@Mr.Ed_Wayner]

Why can’t the coaches have a challenge flag on a PI calls?

[@LockedOnCollegeFootball]

NFL tried reviewing replays on PI calls and it was a mess.

[@teti_99]

We aint winning the national championship. Not this year at least. With where the program is headed as far as recruits coming in, it could be discussed down the road. But the BIG12, we absolutely can win 💯💯💯

[@kendalldean9612]

Some of the SEC QBs such as Milroe are simply missing wide open receivers. Has nothing to do with the competition. Same for the Tennessee QB. Terrible passing. Very overrated in terms of how these QBs are performing. Notre Dame's win over GT was very unimpressive in that GT can't beat anyone. I think that in general the SEC is overrated this year. USC, Missouri, and perhaps TX have been over rated all year long. Seriously. Who had TX beaten this year that was any good. Not Michigan....what a joke the ratings system is. Should go to a pure analytics rating system and take voter's out of the equation, especially since so much money rides on ratings now with the expanded CFP.

[@mitchelmclaughlin5591]

“You THOUGHT?! You THOUGHT!!?!”

[@LockedOnCollegeFootball]

How's that going for you?

[@Number4lead]

They wont sniff the championship.

[@loud_laughter]

BYU will probably end the season with 2-3 losses. They are a solid team, but not special. (Well, special for Provo, but not vs teams like Georgia, Oregon, etc.) *Note: this is coming from a BYU fan.

[@kendalldean9612]

Don't disagree. BYU is not at the same level as those other programs. They don't have the same level of talent and quality depth.

[@loud_laughter]

@@kendalldean9612 I think you nailed it with depth. If they lose a couple key players, they are very beatable. And even though they are much improved in this area, they could use a little more team speed… Team like Alabama have guys that are like 275 lbs who can run 4.5. It’s insane. This speed and size can make up for errors on the field. BYU would have to play a perfect game to beat any of the top 10 teams. It’s not impossible. And I hope they do… I’m just trying to be realistic.

[@mad85123]

I agree. I’m just curious which teams they will lose to. I predict a loss vs UCF, Cincinnati, and Kansas, maybe even Utah it Arizona st

[@stevencraven4897]

The discussion, week to week, sounds eerily like 1984......

[@andrewthestreeter]

There are 5 games left, only 1 against a team with a winning record in-conference (Arizona State)… and you have *3* potential losses in there? Idk man. That’s some level of skepticism that I can’t get to haha
