Description: About This EpisodeIn this episode of the Open For Business Big 12 Podcast, John Kurtz uses advanced metrics and SP+ to compare BYU to the actual playoff field, pushes back on the lazy “G5 doesn’t belong” narrative, examines how TV and realignment warped the College Football Playoff structure, and explains why Texas Tech and BYU might quietly be in the best position of any Big 12 programs in the new era. He also breaks down the Kyle Whittingham-to-Michigan rumor mill and what it tells us about Utah’s place in the sport after its private equity deal and coaching transition.Get the Open For Business Big 12 NewsletterBig 12 news, playoff drama, rankings, private capital breakdowns, and media bias talk delivered straight to your inbox.Sign up free: https://bit.ly/OFBNews12YTMerch Storehttps://johnkurtzofb.myswaggymerch.coSubscribe For More Big 12 Coverage@JohnKurtzShowSupport The ShowVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/John-Kurtz-4Follow JohnTwitter: @jlkurtzInstagram: johnkurtzshow#BYU #BYUFootball #TexasTech #G5Debate #CollegeFootballPlayoff #Big12Football #KyleWhittingham #MichiganFootball #OregonFootball #CollegeFootball #JohnKurtz #OpenForBusinessBig12🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
