Do you really think we trend to ND status (as an indy) or legitimately compete with PAC 12 schedules? Personally I don't. I think we can improve but to consistently get in the range of ND/PAC 12 schedules is not attainable.
There is a reason TH, BM and others all want us in a P5 conference. It is for access, $$$$ and to have a consistently good schedule. I think those inside the BYU AD's office know from a scheduling perspective we are close to our ceiling.
