The BYU Cougars, standing with a 10-1 record out of the Big 12 Conference, remain outsiders to what would be the official bracket if the postseason began today. It's a story beaten to death by now under the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains: the ACC and Group of 5 are especially weak this season -- no Boise State supremacy in the year 2025 -- so the cutoff line for at-large teams is that 10th spot currently owned by the 9-2 Alabama Crimson Tide.
