Almost, but BYU is not playiing for any conference titles.

Does not get the same $$ or bowl affiliations. Those are still big things

So while the title is really nice and much needed and things are moving in the right direction, there are still things to be done that could take scheduling to the next level. Playing a P5 league schedule is that thing.

What do we need to make BYU a top 10 (or better) football team?

we have the coach but only parts of the staff

We had 5 losses three years in a row. It's going to take more than one player

The QB can't do it all. He needs a good o-line and a solid defense,

Duke Silver

Fielding a good defense along with a good offense. We need

a top 10 means 11-1 this season...that will require taysom healthy every game,

oh, and we need mathews, kurtz, blackmon, etc to all step up and be playmakers

nashty

Jamaal. He is the 2nd biggest name, always. He has to be healthy.

Get in a P5, which will immediately help recruiting

Functionally done.

Nor do we get the money we so desperately need.

OptimisTIC

I don't think BYU is as desperate for money as many P5 schools are.

4/1/15 3:44pm

Why do you think BYU keeps hiring no-experience coaches...

OptimisTIC

Those are decisions BYU makes

If we want to be top-20 most years, top-10 every few years . . .

Consistently top 10 programs are sending multiple guys off both the O and D

Part of that is a virtuous cycle, though

Special teams need to be way better than what they are.

you are absolutely correct and history proves it. QB is critical.

Bluforever

Those elite QBs need an elite offensive line

2FarGone

4/1/15 2:41pm

We need some HOGS on the front line that can blow up a defensive push...

(Private)

A creative, elite coach that is committed to staying at BYU long-term

The problem with your take is ...

Not sure I buy the harder schedule argument

More talent in the trenches.

Better staff and consistently good QBs.

We're farther away than one player.
