Comment: Honestly this whole grouping between BYU, Notre Dame, Miami, and Utah is incredibly close and only being separated right now by BYU's win over Notre Dame and me thinking that BYU will beat Utah and that Notre Dame will beat Miami. This could be a huge shake up next week if I'm wrong about either result

I don't know exactly have what Sitake's record in 1-score games is off the top of my head, but he has a penchant for finding himself embroiled in such affairs (and unlike Nebraska, usually emerging triumphant). The bitter taste of defeat in the Bounce House is still evident in this tested Cougars squad, and another display of Big 12 reffing ineptitude haunts them like a spectre; fitting, given their tense affair with the Sun Devils this past weekend. BYU keeps winning and still maintains a solid body of work, so I don't have much reason to drop them, but they'll need to find something new deeper in the playbook if they want to stop hated rival Utah's undefeated season in their tracks. However that Holy War plays out, the winner will find themselves in the lead for a spot in Arlington and a shot at the CFP. I wonder if Scalley somehow offended Bachmeier by noting his family's eating behavior like Notre Dame apparently did...
