Big Cougarboard myth: BYU had a terrible schedule.

Look at the teams bowl eligible:

Texas
Houston
UCF
Utah State
Boise State
Nevada
Virginia beat Miami last night and can become bowl eligible next week

I'm not saying these teams are the top of college football, but they do not suck either. We played a decent schedule and are sitting in a position where we can still possibly get to 9 wins.

Big Cougarboard myth: BYU had a terrible schedule.

There is no excuse for losing those 4 in a row, especially how they lost.

11/23/14 8:20am

Injuries. Sorry, but it's the cold truth: devastating morale destroying

Zach

11/23/14 8:22am

USU was having their way with BYU pre injury. BYU blew two score leads

slowhiteguy

11/23/14 8:29am

BSU has 9 wins already, not mediocre.

Zach

11/23/14 8:32am

They are nothing special. Being blown out by them is embarrassing.

slowhiteguy

11/23/14 8:34am

They will win at least 10 games.

Zach

11/23/14 8:35am

BSU is the most embarrassing out of the 4 to me

workindev

11/23/14 9:15am

By "Having their way"

11/23/14 11:57am

BYU couldn't stop them and last I checked, Taysom doesn't play defense.

slowhiteguy

11/23/14 12:59pm

Thats a prety simplistic way to look at it

11/23/14 1:07pm

you're definitely the expert on simplistic outlooks; how abt an honest one

BYUtiful

11/23/14 1:18pm

I am an expert in spotting others simplistic comments.

11/23/14 5:07pm

No, they are worse than mediocre

AxelDC

11/23/14 6:47pm

Let me guess

11/23/14 6:58pm

I'm sure you think you're coming off as clever; let me disabuse you of that

BYUtiful

11/23/14 9:47pm

You think "our schedule sucks", and "we suck"

11/23/14 10:14pm

sorry, but not what i said; you do, however, earn the reading fail trophy

BYUtiful

11/24/14 7:35am

Its exactly what you said.

11/24/14 12:56pm

link, please?

BYUtiful

11/24/14 1:27pm

My bad

11/24/14 5:10pm

Injuries could explain why we got blown out by USU and BSU.

Beard Card

11/23/14 8:33am

Very true; however, it's a waste of time

vaquero

11/23/14 9:55am

prediction: when byu loses to an underrated cal team

BYUtiful

11/23/14 1:25pm

Explain USU'S success with 10 starters out with season ending injuries...

11/24/14 1:03pm

Success? Not sure I would define their season as sucessfull.

11/24/14 5:10pm

The Boise State game was the kicker

AxelDC

11/23/14 10:05am

I'd call it an average schedule, 7/12 were over .500. Seems pretty avg. to me

Jam Master J

11/23/14 8:20am

When's the last time that happened to BYU?

Zach

11/23/14 8:21am

Last year

Blue Cat

11/23/14 8:24am

Sweet, we were a good team.

Zach

11/23/14 8:25am

I know you had a relative or something play for Bronco, probably a walk on,

slowhiteguy

11/23/14 8:31am

What is not objective in my OP?

Zach

11/23/14 8:33am

Not just the OP, every post. Look, I was driving the bronco bus for about 6

slowhiteguy

11/23/14 8:37am

get a clue. sos#76. that's not good buddy.

2013 Sagarin SOS #38. 2014 SOS #76.

11/23/14 8:35am

Yep. A good schedule is top-50. A Great schedule is top-25 SOS.

lawboy

11/23/14 8:59am

It was a relatively weak schedule and a horrible home schedule.

Playing a bunch of barely bowl eligible teams

CasualFan

11/23/14 9:08am

Overall our schedule wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good enough to justify

Harrison0Yfan

11/23/14 9:46am

Bowl eligible = .500 team

AxelDC

11/23/14 10:06am

SOS=76. You are clueless.

11/23/14 10:27am

Looks like a Lavell-era WAC schedule

Modiolus

11/23/14 10:36am

SOS, BYU=76, BSU=75, CSU=108. Just was curious how our terrible schedule would

Cougar8Duck

11/23/14 10:41am

2-4 against current bowl teams

BYUheaven

11/23/14 10:52am

#97 out of 128 - you're on to sthg

BYUtiful

11/23/14 11:15am

Alabama is #95 using that metric.

Blue Cat

11/23/14 11:19am

yeah, and they've won their games, and that doesn't validate byu's schedule

BYUtiful

11/23/14 12:09pm

RE: yeah, and they've won all their games, and that doesn't validate byu's

Blue Cat

11/23/14 2:30pm

We should have beat UCF and UNR. USU and BSU ambushed us.

fulano

11/23/14 11:38am

Not even Bronco shares your nauseating optimism for this year.

11/23/14 11:55am

The season being dissapointing and the schedule being bad

11/23/14 12:12pm

Not in this case.

11/23/14 3:06pm

The biggest problem with your opinion

11/23/14 5:10pm

We've looked bad with an easy schedule.

11/23/14 5:46pm

We did not have tougher shcedules in the WAC

11/23/14 7:00pm

That's not what I said and it's not even the point.

11/23/14 7:51pm

Your right, I went off on a tangent. You said I was name dropping...

11/24/14 12:15am

I know it's your style to call people names like "delusional" without any facts

UNLVcougar

11/23/14 8:09pm

I know its your lack of style to make things up

11/23/14 10:19pm

I think you are having some struggles with your math, so let me help you out.

UNLVcougar

11/23/14 11:52pm

I didnt cherry pick

11/24/14 12:12am

You have a very difficult time staying on point.

UNLVcougar

11/24/14 7:03am

Wow. I dont think you read what I posted.

11/24/14 12:57pm

So you actually don't have data to back up your claim? Just as I thought.

UNLVcougar

11/24/14 3:38pm

It's the same lame story with Polaris not so Prime.

11/24/14 4:41pm

Yes, this was a weak schedule going into 2014

Heinz57

11/23/14 5:58pm

I can hardly laugh hard enough

11/23/14 7:02pm

You speak from someone that has no clue about the game

Heinz57

11/23/14 8:35pm

So you dont have a point?

11/23/14 10:21pm

The funny thing is

11/23/14 10:24pm

Sagarin rating SOS as of this week: 76. Bottom half of CFB schedules = crappy.

UNLVcougar

11/23/14 7:40pm

See - you misuse the term mediocre so much

11/23/14 10:26pm

Actually, I never used the word "mediocre" in my post, but it doesn't suprise

UNLVcougar

11/23/14 11:31pm

Wow... That was hard

11/23/14 11:46pm

Let's hang our hat on going 0-4 in October against teams that "do not suck."

ataylor

11/23/14 1:42pm

Everything is awesome!

AxelDC

11/23/14 3:36pm

7 Bowl eligible opponents = better than MWC schedule

Coogar2

11/23/14 4:19pm

BYU lost to 3 MWC teams

AxelDC

11/23/14 4:41pm

Called hindsight

Heinz57

11/23/14 5:57pm

I dont think hindsight it the right word.

11/23/14 7:07pm

Again, paper tiger....

Heinz57

11/23/14 8:36pm

Ummm... A paper tiger indicates a weak argument

11/23/14 10:23pm

NBD. 78/128 teams will go to bowls this year
