2024 Week 12 BYU Cougars Rankings

Main Poll Voters

User Rank Reason
ColombianInIowa24 1 Defeats Utah in a controversial Holy War, but it seems the call was legit. Up next a solid but cursed Kansas team.
70stang 2 BYU is 9-0 with 7 P5 wins. They have 2 Ranked Wins over last week's #6 SMU and #17 Kansas State.

T-Thugs 2 BYU I feel dirty ranking as number 2 because I think the Big12 refs cheated during their game against Utah to help them win. However, they remain undefeated and they have some very nice wins including over SMU (8-1) and Kansas State (7-2)

Due_Connection179 3 Last Week #4 at Utah // Won 22 - 21 // At one point on Utah's final drive, BYU had only a 0.3% chance to win this game. However, BYU somehow pulled this win out, and they are now 1 game closer to capturing a Big 12 title game berth in their 1st season as a power school.

GatorBolt 5 I mean it's technically an ugly win. That said, if your defensive player being held causes your archrival's AD to crash out about officiating and you beat said archrival in a conference game to improve your dream season that is a beautiful win.

ilacwamh 2 2. BYU is firmly second with a very solid win over a first-place out of conference team along with another solid top-20 win while being undefeated.
JackWK_Gaming 2
JamesDontPlayNoGames 2 Maybe a little higher than where there AP poll and CFP poll has them. Probably also higher than where Reddit has them, but they are undefeated and the win over SMU continues to look better and better. Plus a win over a very solid K State team and they just won at Utah.

LoCh0_xX 2
Mynameisdiehard 2 Squeaked out a win in a tough rivalry game. No fault there. Getting down to the wire and other undefeated teams are dropping games while they remain undefeated.
redleg86 2 raw score: 4.167 wins [1.5,8,2,7,5,3,3,4,4] best win: SMU (8) UNDEFEATED
Serenityy8 2
throwaway_6786 2 Undefeated with two nice wins over a top 10 SMU and a top 20 K-State. They've looked sketchy against Oklahoma State and Utah, but you have to reward teams for being undefeated to some degree.

hurricaneatx 3 (9-0) - It sort of irks me to put BYU up here, but at the same time, it sort of makes sense. They're undefeated, and they have two wins against good competition (SMU and Kansas State), and those wins are better than Indiana's. I really don't have any reason to not put them this high. Quality wins: @SMU, Kansas State
