BYU went 10-2 in the 2021 regular season as an independent, and that earned them a No. 13 ranking in the Week 14 CFP rankings.

BYU again went 10-2 this year, this time as a member of the Big XII, and that earned them a meager No. 18 ranking in the Week 14 CFP rankings.

Anyways, a 9-3 Alabama being ranked 11th is appalling. Even Ole Miss being ranked above BYU here is wrong. Their schedules are not that significantly tougher to warrant a higher ranking with an additional loss than the 2-loss Big XII teams. The committee’s favoritism is on full display.
