BYU coach Kalani Sitake and his Cougars missed out on the College Football Playoff, but they prevailed with one of college football’s most prized possessions: chomping on the sacrificial pastry after a Pop-Tarts Bowl win.
The Cougars were given shirts and hats that deemed them “the people’s national champions” after a thrilling 25-21 win over Georgia Tech in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, which was as fun as always for the third straight year. With the win, BYU finished its season 12-2 with the only two blemishes on its schedule at the hands of No. 4 Texas Tech, who earned a first-round bye in the CFP.
