True in both cases, although the fire is not far away. The Cougars will almost certainly lose at Mississippi State (who beat LSU, who throttled the Cougars earlier this year) on Saturday. That leaves them with a 1-6 record with 6 games left to play. BYU will have to win out to be bowl eligible. It's certainly possible--the schedule is @ East Carolina, home to San Jose, @ Fresno, @ UNLV, home to UMass, and @Hawai'i--but it leaves them no room for error. And so far, 'error' is all they've shown they can do.
If BYU fails to qualify for a bowl game, the fires will start.
