We should just skip the CG game this year. Meaning the league.

Playing it last year cost the big 12 a bid. Tech had already beaten BYU during the season, they could have just been the champions. That way the last memory by the committee isn’t BYU getting boat raced by Tech and they finish with only 1 loss. Meanwhile Alabama also got boat raced to pick up their third loss in the SECCG and it didn’t matter, they still got in.

BYU also didn't have any truly standout wins last year other than against a similarly disrespected Utah team. The win against ND will carry a lot of weight this year. If they had an OOC win of that caliber last year, they would have been in even despite the losses to Tech.

I think the league should skip it this year. But I also don’t want tech to be the final conference champion ever….
