BYU’s chances of making the College Football Playoff appear to be officially dead in the water.
In the latest rankings, the 9-0 Cougars checked in at 13th! Yes, an undefeated FBS team with a legit Heisman contender for a quarterback in Zach Wilson came in at 13th. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
More or less, the committee ended any speculation about whether or not BYU could make the playoff Tuesday night.

The answer seems to be 100% no. With the season winding down and only a few weekends of games left, there’s simply no way BYU can jump into the top four.
