interconference play, not less. All these conferences going to 9 games makes it challenging to get a feel for how good they are, especially if they are playing 2-3 patsies out of conference.

However, that is probably how they like it.

You shouldn't be called an analyst with that type of logic

Dr T-bone

2 conferences out of 5

Yeah he just asked for 1

OC Coug

He's right, if he is referring to this year. There is no reasonable scenario

messi

agree with you with one caveat which is miniscule in likelihood but

exactly. Boise State is better than half the P5

It would be tough playing Purdue and Northwestern back to back, that's for sure.

including 90% of the ACC. Weak teams.

Do you think playing Clemson, FSU, Notre Dame, Louisville, Va Tech, NC, Miami

OC Coug

9/19/14 3:40pm

does the ACC play ALL of those teams each year or does it rotate?

9/19/14 3:42pm

It absolutely rotates but no - if BYU had ND, NC, Miami, and Louisville on the

How could I leave off Minnesota as well!

COUGZ

if BYU could change that he might have a point, but it's not by choice

The ACC guantlet of Wake Forest, NC State, Syracuse, Boston College, and Miami

I can't wait to see how the committee handles the 2-loss SEC and PAC 12 teams

boscatar

9/19/14 3:50pm

the ACC, B1G and Big12 cannot talk about SOS over BYU

nashty

9/19/14 4:00pm

They will. And they will win the argument.

boscatar

9/19/14 4:01pm

If they do, it's not because of merit

Jomo

9/19/14 4:03pm

Maybe not this year, but most years it would be.

lawboy

9/19/14 4:26pm

But the committee only looks at this year

And if you think about it, who's really good in the Pac12 after Oregon?

Jomo

9/19/14 4:06pm

5 teams in the top 25 are pretty good.

Utesplease

9/19/14 4:31pm

Of those, who deserves it?

Jomo

9/19/14 4:32pm

Oregon stanford ASU (P12 south champion off a good season with returning talent)

Utesplease

9/19/14 4:42pm

It's about depth in the pac anyways.. 8 or 9 of the 12 will finish In the top 40

Utesplease

9/19/14 4:33pm

Yeah after they beat themselves...

coug almighty

9/19/14 4:35pm

These teams may be as good or better than BYU:

Alcova

Yeah, because we all know that good teams ONLY PLAY in @#$@$ P5 conferences

byu bcs buster

9/19/14 5:06pm

Let me guess- then he went on to say that BYU needs to get into a conference

Some fans within the P5 conferences

I think you mean 1 "good" game (Texas) and that is questionable. UVA and Cal

Don't think anyone is saying it's tough
