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

For example, Washington state's schedule is harder than Oregon's because WSU has to play Oregon, while Oregon plays WSU. That makes WSU's schedule harder.

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

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

Zach Morris

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

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?
