It was between a low-tier FBS (UNLV)/low-tier FCS (ISU) and top-tier FBS (Mizzou)/middle-tier FCS (Wagner).

Definitely an upgrade.

The best Missouri could do was Wagner?

They are who Savannah State schedules when they need a win.

Aren't they the team that beat Duke in March Madness last year?

BYU is bringing in the Seahawks? Those guys are awesome.

lawboy

12/17/14 9:36am

I had never heard of Savannah State and I have never heard of Wagner...

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:39am

you realize the vast majority of P5 teams play a team like this every year?

yballa09

12/17/14 9:43am

The SEC is known for doing this kind of thing.

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:49am

it's not just the SEC. Look it up

yballa09

12/17/14 9:49am

You're the one stating is as fact. Where's your evidence?

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:51am

espn.com. Look up any other P5 teams and their schedules. Not hard.

yballa09

12/17/14 9:53am

Are you really comparing BYU's schedule to other P5 teams?

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:54am

BYU's strength of schedule is comparable to plenty of P5 teams. Again, that is

yballa09

12/17/14 9:58am

Playing a bunch of P5 teams on the road is nothing to pound your chest over.

Zach Morris

12/17/14 10:00am

lol.

yballa09

12/17/14 10:02am

It seems you are arguing a slightly different point...

BYUFam1

12/17/14 10:20am

Obviously even the most blue-goggled BYU fans recognize how bad the home

yballa09

12/17/14 10:28am

Actually, mid to low tier P5 teams have tougher schedules than upper tier teams

StantonMac

12/17/14 10:42am

Clemson went on the road to play Georgia and came home to play

SUAVO

12/17/14 10:20am

Where did he make a comparison? He stated that vast majority of P5 teams

You know darn well that post was made after your accusation.

CalGTR

12/17/14 10:04am

Common knowledge. It's like asking someone to prove the sky is blue.

CalGTR

12/17/14 9:55am

It's also common knowledge that P5 teams have P5 home schedules.

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:56am

ACC - every single team played an FCS school this year.

yballa09

12/17/14 9:57am

Yep and every single one of those teams hosted a minimum of 4-5 P5

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:58am

you're right. BYU doesn't want to schedule P5 schools at home.

yballa09

12/17/14 10:01am

Playing all your tough games on the road is not "very good"

Zach Morris

12/17/14 10:03am

keep complaining about things that are completely out of BYU's control.

yballa09

12/17/14 10:11am

Utah played Idaho State this year, Cal played Sacramento State, Arizona State

SUAVO

12/17/14 10:10am

Soon as BYU's home games equal that of the SEC then BYU can

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:53am

Good grief. We had ISU on the schedule, and we swapped them out for another

CalGTR

12/17/14 9:56am

Ya know what, you're right. Season tix are going to sky rocket!

Zach Morris

12/17/14 9:57am

Don't see anybody claiming that. Nice strawman, though. Newsflash - it's not

CalGTR

12/17/14 10:03am

C'mon Cal, why couldn't we get a last minute agreement with Alabama to come

yballa09

12/17/14 10:12am

Not just in Indy years recently: 2008 N. Iowa, 2007 E. Wash, 2005 E. IL

BYUFam1

12/17/14 10:29am

But they have other good home games

BYUheaven

This is not what I was arguing.

yballa09

You're misreading this

SUAVO

12/17/14 9:47am

Beating Idaho State or Wagner has the same effect on the program

donnerstag

12/17/14 9:39am

Wagner Seahawks

BYUFam1

12/17/14 9:39am

They have won a National Championship in Football more recently than BYU

BYUFam1

12/17/14 9:47am

That should help season ticket sales

CougarForLife

12/17/14 9:43am

And the reason for stepping down in opponents is what?

Hinta

12/17/14 9:45am

it allows us to schedule Missouri

StantonMac

12/17/14 9:46am

Adding Missouri.

CalGTR

12/17/14 9:46am

Missouri was responsible for finding BYU's 6th home game.

coug203

12/17/14 10:01am

Stepping down from Idaho St to Wagner?

BYUFam1

12/17/14 10:09am

Honestly, this is probably a good thing.

Westsider

12/17/14 9:47am

Savanna State was rough - Hate the way Bronco plays these games

Dr T-bone

12/17/14 9:49am

That wasn't even the tradeoff

Westsider

12/17/14 9:51am

Idaho State won more games this season than Wagner

donnerstag

12/17/14 9:53am

Historically Wagner has been better. Last year Idaho State was better.

jreid191

12/17/14 9:58am

RE: Idaho State would have presented a better challenge their returning QB

Upanddown

12/17/14 9:59am

I have no idea how strong either teams schedules are. I don't pay attention

SUAVO

Massey Ratings

BYUFam1

12/17/14 10:45am

Probably about the same, based on last year's results.

Westsider

12/17/14 10:03am

Just realized this - but either way it is a good deal

Dr T-bone

12/17/14 10:00am

Mizzou-Wagner > UNlV-ISU. Good job Holmoe!

P-Town2P-Town

12/17/14 10:14am

It had to be a 1 and done or math for future years doesn't work.->had to be FCS

rcbyufan

12/17/14 10:17am

Wasn't it Missouri that found this team for us?

SUAVO

12/17/14 10:34am

And they knew it had to be a one and done for BYU b/c we told them so.

rcbyufan

12/17/14 10:39am

Why not schedule North Dakota State, beat them and embarress the Big 12?
