So the only ones left are the B12 and P12?

Sonics

7/31/15 9:50am

I don't think the Pac12 has a requirement for its teams to play P5 teams for

Zinger

7/31/15 9:53am

P12 doesn't make that distinction, but they brag about their non-conf schedule

kccougar

7/31/15 10:03am

Big 12 doesn't have the requirement either, do they?

Gentleman Stan

7/31/15 10:14am

No.

I love better ooc games. Real p5 is being in a p5.

7/31/15 10:01am

Oh brother. I hope you're not this obtuse IRL.

Gentleman Stan

7/31/15 10:08am

Uh I said it is good to have better schedules...

El Joffrey

7/31/15 10:17am

Yep. I'll be more excited when we have some real inclusion to postseason

yfootball

7/31/15 11:13am

Of course they are. They are members of the Big 12.

Let's just say, "P5 Independent"

2FarGone

7/31/15 10:22am

Well, there have always been major Independents.

Gentleman Stan

7/31/15 10:31am

Independents used to be big time

BYUFam1

7/31/15 10:57am

So we're a P5INO. Yay.

SoCalCoug

7/31/15 10:30am

So, many will say "so what?" But it is a pretty big deal. Maybe not for right

CalGTR

7/31/15 10:52am

and it is going to help in getting us better games

Became OFFICIAL when the SEC/ACC announced it.

Heinz57

7/31/15 10:59am

USU should always be on our schedule. Same with the U. I'd rather

Bert609

7/31/15 12:14pm

Utah, as they are a P5 team. Others nope...

Heinz57

7/31/15 3:33pm

I imagine the PAC views us the same way, as we play a lot of their teams

notoriousnicholas

7/31/15 11:33am

This is significant news equal obviously to the SEC recognition

Cougarpride

7/31/15 2:22pm

This is great, however it really only benefits the teams that play byu. its not

capo

7/31/15 2:38pm

Only four teams make the playoffs - BYU would have win every game

Cougarpride

7/31/15 3:04pm

I don't think that's necessarily true.

Gentleman Stan

7/31/15 3:07pm

Tom also made a similar comment that BYU would have to go

Cougarpride

7/31/15 3:11pm

i wish they would stop saying two years. one year should be good enough with a

7/31/15 3:32pm

Not only should it be good enough, it very likely would be good enough, under

Gentleman Stan

7/31/15 4:20pm

Well if you say that this makes the door wider open for byu to be in a new years

capo

7/31/15 3:16pm

Neither the AP or Coaches poll are the indicator anymore

BYUFam1

7/31/15 3:19pm

Honestly, I think these P5 conference policies will help our playoff inclusion

Harrison0Yfan

7/31/15 3:25pm

This is great news! at the very least this makes us a more attractive expansion
