SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Given the opportunity to make a case that BYU should have received more respect in terms of the College Football Playoff rankings this football season after the No. 17 Cougars pummeled No. 23 Colorado 36-14 Saturday night in the Alamo Bowl, coach Kalani Sitake politely declined.
That’s not the BYU way, nor does it fit the “love and learn” culture Sitake has painstakingly built in Provo the past nine seasons. Complaining and dwelling on negativity isn’t part of his mindset.
“I don’t think that’s anything you can campaign for,” he said.
Besides, it is all water under the bridge now, too late to do anything about it. Sitake said the CFP system “is better” than it has been, and he appreciates the progress and the fact that teams such as BYU are now seated at the big kids’ table.
