MWC is a dead end. Independence, not necessarily. We can schedule & win our way

Byu fans will continue saying this, meanwhile Boise will continue playing

I'm sorry, the G5 NY6 bowl is not "meaningful"

Then what does that make BYU's games?

And you think the MWC is the path to relevance?

No, stop lying to yourself. BYU's version of Indy is clearly inferior to Utah's

I mostly agree - but Utah fans aren't rational.

BYU's 2015 schedule is rated more difficult than Utah's

BYU plays some great road games, Utah brings great teams to RES.
