BYU football coach Kalani Sitake has deliberately avoided engaging with questions regarding Penn State and the College Football Playoff selection process, choosing instead to keep his team's attention fixed on winning the Big 12 championship.
"I'm all about the Big 12 championship and keeping our team focused on that. So I'm going to avoid all the distractions," Sitake said, emphasizing dedication to his current goals rather than the postseason speculation.
Meanwhile, the Big 12 Conference continues to advocate strongly for BYU’s inclusion in the College Football Playoff, highlighting the Cougars' impressive season and competitive standing.
This approach reflects Sitake’s intent to shield his players from external pressures and maintain focus on what they can control—winning their conference title.
Kalani Sitake remains committed to the present competition, deliberately sidestepping external questions to preserve team focus amid BYU's Playoff candidacy debate.
