I think we would have handled Missouri if Hansbro had stayed hurt one more

week. I think when he is healthy, they are a different team. Unfortunately for us, we had to play them with there best offensive player back in the lineup. Probably also didn't hurt their cause that the HC waited until just before the BYU game to announce his cancer and that he was retiring at the end of the season.

Past P5 results during 'special seasons' (we aren't who we think we are)

When's the last time we beat a P5 team that ended the season ranked?

LegitCoug

1997. ASU.

Blue Cat

11/18/15 11:24am

ironically that BYU team finished 6-5

We've beaten a couple current P5 teams that finished the season ranked but not

cougarfan2207

we knocked Oregon State out of the rankings in 2009

Case in point why we belong in MWC or AAC

franklyvulgar

11/18/15 11:10am

More accurately, we'd be middle tier

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:13am

We lost to a bad mizzou team and almost lost to Nebraska

Michigan State actually did lose to Nebraska

Walter Bellhaven

Agreed. Complaining about a win is just silly. Also, even really good P5 teams

db59840

11/18/15 1:50pm

Nebraska has 5 wins. That's more than the average P5 team we beat

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:17am

And almost beat UCLA

CasualFan

People were saying the same thing about Utah in the Pac-12

Blugar

11/18/15 11:31am

But we'd have P5 $ and wouldn't have to worry about future program viability

11/18/15 11:15am

This^^^^^^^^is the reason to be in a P5. We won't win many conference titles

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:16am

We'd recruit better and could win in that special year.

11/18/15 11:55am

See TCU and Utah. Are they bottom feeders? No.

LegitCoug

11/18/15 11:22am

I see both of these programs as middle tier long term, winning occasionally

Colorado

11/18/15 11:28am

Which I'd be okay with if we were P5...

LegitCoug

11/18/15 11:32am

Nothing wrong with that.

Blugar

11/18/15 11:35am

And I see those schools with higher ceilings due to the honor code

macdizzle

Agree on UCLA. Don't quite agree with Missouri.

Bronco has the worst record against ranked teams among his "peers" that we know

THIS is a strong reason why I think the expanded AAC makes sense for BYU

boscatar

11/18/15 12:15pm

I think indy is better than AAC. More games on bigger stages.

macdizzle

11/18/15 12:25pm

2015 and 2016 provide some big stage games (mostly on the road); look beyond

boscatar

11/18/15 12:56pm

But what you say ignores the fact that we couldn't likely get most of those

P5 status doesn't make a team good. Mizzou was a bad team, P5 or not. BYU was

Of course not. I'm tired of it too.

macdizzle

11/18/15 2:20pm

P5 status is fooling you. Missouri would do just fine as a G5 this year. They

Ingenuity. That is what led to some magic in the 80s. That is what gave Boise

BSU also has had a fair number of NFL guys during their run

special seasons include bowl games

Agreed. I wanted to make sure this season was able to be compared and we haven't

The information in your post is impossible...

Like the 1985 loss to UTEP

What a weird way to justify and defend Bronco...

11/18/15 11:06pm

I don't understand. Don't most of think that we're generally about the 25th to 35th best team in the country? That

HarlemCoug

I hope most people think that. We're middle tier P5.
