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?

1997. ASU.

ironically that BYU team finished 6-5

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

Case in point why we belong in MWC or AAC

More accurately, we'd be middle tier

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

Michigan State actually did lose to Nebraska

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

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

And almost beat UCLA

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing wrong with that.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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