What a regular season it was for BYU.
The Cougars defied all expectations to finish 11-1, with the most recent victory coming Saturday against UCF on BYU’s senior day.
Kalani Sitake’s squad will now head to Texas next week for the Big 12 championship game against Texas Tech.
Cougar Nation was buzzing about BYU’s success. Here are some of the most notable reactions from social media.
11-1

Headed to the Big 12 Championship.
It would be a disservice to our sport if this team’s not a playoff team. pic.twitter.com/4Ahhc3KPWn

In August, FPI gave BYU a 6.98% chance of going 11-1. Another massive overachieving season from BYU.

Last time BYU won 11 regular season games was 2001. Pretty impressive stuff from the Cougars as they will now compete for a Big 12 Championship next week in their third year as a Big 12 member. #BYUfootball #BYU

Regardless of what happens in the Big 12 Championship, it would be a disservice to the sport if BYU isn't in the College Football Playoffs.

What a truly remarkable regular season for BYU football. Almost unimaginable before the season started. For Bear to perform like he did as a freshman is unprecedented and amazing. LJ one of the best backs in BYU history. Excellent wide receivers, terrific tight end. Offensive…

BYU handles its business against Central Florida. Their resume is just as strong as Oregon's and Texas A&M.

They should be in the playoffs regardless of what happens in the Big 12 championship game
2 years ago, BYU was blowing a late lead against Oklahoma State to end the year 5-7

Amazing what this team has accomplished in the last two seasons. Kalani, the staff, the players, everyone has stepped up to bring this program to unseen heights as a Big 12 member. https://t.co/0Qy9TlP97g

Eleven and ONE!
Insane season.
The committee needs to see 6 road wins.
WVU, TCU and UCF blow outs.
Incredible defense.
Incredible run game.
They can and will compete with anyone.
GREAT SEASON FOR THE COUGS.
For the last decade+, I’ve been told that BYU couldn’t compete with a power conference schedule. The last two years have proved otherwise. https://t.co/oqwEACdtV3

Still somewhat crazy to think BYU is 11-1 at the P4 level. The Cougars have come a long way. Amazing season with a rematch against Texas Tech awaiting in the Big 12 Championship. https://t.co/zhGHn9dGD5
