BYU Football's Season Isn't Over, and Big 12 Title Hopes Remain Alive.
BYUDespite two heartbreaking losses, the Cougars control their destiny. Two heartbreaking losses in three weeks have significantly damaged the BYU Cougars ' College Football Playoff hopes, but they haven't ended the Cougars' season.
That would likely come with an automatic CFP berth on the line for the conference champion. There is plenty left to play for in Provo.
The 7-2 Cougars have three regular-season games remaining, beginning Saturday against Baylor at LaVell Edwards Stadium. BYU then travels to Kansas before hosting Cincinnati on Nov. 28.
None of those games should be considered automatic victories. Baylor has found new life under interim coach Joe Klanderman, Kansas nearly upset UCF on Saturday, and Cincinnati owns a victory over Texas Tech.
