If we're looked at as P5 by everyone except the BigXII then what's the big deal

It's the fear of conference consolidation and BYU being left out in the future.

Well, let's see, there is the $ thing and then there is the weak home schedule.

Counting towards a scheduling requirement is not the same as...

BYU should be able to challenge that access in court, now. Every conference sees

You realize they can just as easily say, "BYU does not count towards...

If there is another shake-up and we're left out in the cold, I'd be shocked if

PGVikingDad

7/31/15 3:59pm

Let's hope we just get in and don't have to find out.

7/31/15 4:04pm

The power conferences don't see us as equals.

7/31/15 3:48pm

U realize that BYU and ND have virtually the same access right?

LEDSFW

7/31/15 8:14pm

No ite. ND has a contract with the Orange bowl that allows them

yeah, they will schedule us...AT THEIR stadiums or 2 for 1's, plus we still do

Some valid reasons...but you think BYU would make the playoff if they have

Lance71

7/31/15 3:28pm

Wrong. Win the big12 championship with 1 loss and we are probably in. If the

7/31/15 3:30pm

Yeah, ask TCU and Baylor about that.

Lance71

7/31/15 3:33pm

"Win the championship". TCU and Baylor didnt win a championship

7/31/15 3:39pm

It's semantics. But, the BIG12 claims they both did win a BIG12 championship.

Lance71

7/31/15 3:47pm

But that championship didn't come through a 13th game.

7/31/15 3:54pm

Exactly and it's their fault for taking the easy road and getting left out.

Disagree completely. Even with 1 loss, in the BIG12 BYU could win the

Kerbouchard

7/31/15 3:42pm

Didn't 3 of the 4 playoff teams last year have one loss?

7/31/15 3:46pm

I just don't see a lot of these 2 for 1's I hear about

travelcoug

7/31/15 3:30pm

Holmoe and Bronco mention them all the time. You don't see them

wisconsin. Norte dame USC. That all I see

travelcoug

7/31/15 4:04pm

What is your point?

Kerbouchard

7/31/15 5:48pm

There are over 30 P5 schools we have agreements with. They are not 2-1

travelcoug

7/31/15 6:33pm

We still have 6-9 G5 opponents per year. That's a problem.

LiveCoug

7/31/15 3:26pm

The P5 games mostly have been good games and several G5 are top notch.

scott715

7/31/15 7:54pm

Bowl games, schedule, money, rivalries...pretty much several of the top things

Interesting home games. Especially in November.

When did the Big12 ever say we aren't p5 caliber?

Bostonblue

7/31/15 3:38pm

I think he meant Big 10?

kC Cougar

I think he just means the b12 hasn't officially said anything. But neither has

Spot on. 100% agree.

7/31/15 6:29pm

The real issue is how BYU is viewed by the playoff selection committee

reddead

7/31/15 4:04pm

And, how often will BYU EVER be in the CFP discussion - conference or not?

boscatar

7/31/15 4:24pm

every time we are undefeated

travelcoug

7/31/15 4:31pm

I agree with points 1 and 2

reddead

7/31/15 5:36pm

We will never get into an NY6 bowl having more than one loss...

7/31/15 4:15pm

What a poor perspective.

7/31/15 4:25pm

Perhaps, but it was never a long term solution with a diminishing rate of return

7/31/15 4:30pm

So, the first few years of Independence, without P5 recognition

7/31/15 4:36pm

Those conferences are saying that BYU meets a minimum scheduling criteria

7/31/15 5:04pm

so so so so wrong. I don't even know where to start.

Bostonblue

7/31/15 5:07pm

Ugh. No, and your post doesn't make sense.
