2024 Week 8 BYU Cougars Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
70stang 1 TIER 1 - Undefeated Teams with 4 P5 Wins BYU has 4 P5 wins including a ranked win away at last week's #12 team, SMU, as well as 1 away G5 win and 1 FCS win to be 6-0. Winning their ranked game away places them above Oregon; it is worth stating here that if both teams ranked wins were both home or both away, the higher ranked win would take precedence. BYU's additional away games gives them the edge.
ColombianInIowa24 1 Big XII represent as BYU somehow actually got better with a dominating win. Up next a floundering Oklahoma State off break.

Due_Connection179 4 Last Week #9 vs Arizona / Won 41 - 19 / BYU continues to dominate the Big 12. I have jumped BYU over Penn State (and the other 1-loss schools) because I feel we are at the point in the season where I can start putting the top 4 (projected) conference champions as my top 4 to mimic the CFP format.

Zloggt 9 Overrated? Underrated? Who knows about these Cougars? But, if we are to judge solely on resume (and perhaps on-field product)...it's hard to find a team with a solid report than that of BYU. I guess being in the "lowly" Big 12 (and also maybe also nearly losing to a rough Baylor team but that's a shhh) doesn't do you much favors...sadly...

jthomas694 12 Previously 13th. I believe eventually BYU will come down to earth, they are not a top 25 team by efficiencies in SP+ and overall just don't look like a top team to me when I watch them, but they have the third ranked SOR per FPI. Good resume, but I think eventually it's going to come crashing down

Doogitywoogity 13 And then the universe said, without missing a beat, “BYU will be placed at 13 because that is an unlucky number and we think that is funny”. Now this perplexed me, not the placing BYU at 13 because it’s funny, that makes sense, but I asked the universe back, what do you mean by we?

big_thunder_man 3 6-0. (#3 in SOR). Arizona seems better than their record -- and BYU just steadily pulled away. This just seems like a tough, steady team, that makes it into and far in the playoffs, then gets the doors blown off.

throwaway_6786 3 Shades of 1984 are seen in Provo as the BYU Cougars have come from nowhere to be 6-0 with two ranked wins. Had it not been for their struggles against Baylor, there would be a serious argument for the Cougars to be even higher. At this point, the only game left on the schedule that BYU should (and I stress, should) have serious trouble with is that Arizona State game in Tempe. There's a significant chance that BYU could go from a preseason afterthought to Big 12 Champions and CFP contenders.

xX_GIGA_MAN_Xx 7 In a shocking twist, the best team added to the B12 in the last 2 years wasn't UCF, it wasn't Cincinnati, wasn't Colorado or Utah, but fucking BYU. Not exactly sure how they're doing so well after being beat last year by a Neal Brown WVU team but good for them anyways.
