Neither are technically used (or not used) by the committee anymore. By all means I think they bring a starting point in the minds of any human brought in to the committee but after that the committee does their own work to create their rankings...

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

No.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gentleman Stan

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

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

Harrison0Yfan

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