From 5 wins last year to 11 wins this season. What a year this BYU team gave us!
— David Nixon (@D_Nixon) December 29, 2024
Appreciate the leadership from SR’s like Conor Pay, Tyler Batty, & Jakob Robinson.
With all of the returning production coming back, this team should easily be a Top 15 team & Top 2 in Big XII.
GO COUGS BABY🔥🔥 https://t.co/NByjIhBxgg

Pretty cool for BYU to end their season like this. By my money, the most underrated team in America this season.
— Shehan Jeyarajah (@ShehanJeyarajah) December 29, 2024
They’ll go out 11-2 and Alamo Bowl champs — and they have an awful lot back next year too.

BYU football in 2024:
— Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) December 29, 2024
* Picked to finish 13th in the Big 12
* Went 11-2
- Top 10 win over SMU
- Only out of Big 12 title game because of tie-breaker
Because of the Arizona State/Indiana/Colorado stories, Cougars didn't get the credit they deserved on an AWESOME season
Man, I can't get over how awesome this team has been this year. What a great surprise! Maybe the best defensive team ever. Offense was really good with just a few too many mistakes. Could absolutely be elite next year. Maybe best special teams ever. Coaching staff is…
— Mark Durrant (@DurrantMark) December 29, 2024
BYU with 9 P4 wins this season.
— Sporty (@SportyMcSports) December 29, 2024
3 wins against teams who won at least 9 games.
Incredible.
BYU should have gotten more serious playoff consideration.

BYU is the playoff contender that might not have gotten its deserved consideration in the final weeks. Outstanding season for the Cougars, going 11-2 and beating SMU on the road.

Kalani Sitake has to be the most underrated coach in the country

We need to figure out where this 11 win BYU team fits in the pantheon of great BYU teams. It’s a remarkable season.

BYU's 11 win season included two wins against ranked teams (at the time of the game) by a total of 51 points.
— CougarStats (@CougarStats) December 29, 2024
38-9 vs #13 Kansas St.
36-14 vs #20 Colorado
BYU has never beaten two ranked teams in the same season by 20+ points.
BYU will finish this season with a 84.6% win percentage. That is the best ever for a power conference team in the state of Utah.

What’s wild is how much production BYU is returning next year. It could be a special season.
