On Friday night, BYU continued its special season by beating Oklahoma State in the final seconds. The Cougars are now 7-0 overall, 4-0 in conference play, and f
irmly in the hunt for a Big 12 title. After week eight, multiple national outlets continue to project BYU to the College Football Playoff.In Kyle Bonagura's projection, BYU would be the no. 10 seed and facing the Texas Longhorns who is the projected 7-seed. Bonagura actually projects BYU to be the highest-seeded Big 12 team and he gives the first-round bye to projected Mountain West champion Boise State.
Here was his rebuttal to Kyle Bonagura:Brett McMurphy has BYU as the no. 11 seed playing at no. 6 Penn State in the first round. In terms of matchups, this is one of the better ones for BYU. The Nittany Lions have one win against a ranked team: Illinois.Jerry Palmer of CBS Sports, who isn't typically optimistic towards BYU, likes BYU to get an at-large birth in the CFP. Palm projects BYU as the no. 9 seed.
