That we will be ranked. Definitely not playoff level but going 10-2 on an independent schedule will put us in a much higher ranking than anyone in a lesser conference at 10-2

Boise is 25th

You are right I will edit that part

Unfortunately right now we are not relevant.

I agree with this.

Boise may not get teh NY6 game. Right now Memphis is on a tear and they have

That's my point

10/4/15 2:12pm

Not really a point. Nebraska, UCLA, Michigan, Missouri, and Boise all could've

We could have but is there a single G5 team who

JohnnyComeLately

10/4/15 2:26pm

No G5 did (does) but I think that's because no one wants to make their schedule

RdF3

10/4/15 2:33pm

You don't think Boise State and all the other "contenders"

10/4/15 2:34pm

With the premise that I agree that independence for BYU enhances the brand

RdF3

10/4/15 2:43pm

Maybe, but I think it has to do with BYU being placed in the non-G5

westcoastcoug

10/4/15 2:50pm

Fair enough

JohnnyComeLately

10/4/15 2:51pm

Well maybe you're right, or maybe it's both? I see your point though.

Memphis has some tough games ahead, though

CougarThug

Good point, but I see them jumping BSU if they win all but the Ole Miss game

3 of our 5 games have been on during the wasteland of TV on the East Coast

Yes. Just not in HD. I had the MTN in Virginia

A New Years 6 is not what is used to be. Most people may forget that the team

Doing it consistently works, though

Technically, UCONN went to BCS game & NY6 is a recruiting boost

BSUbluNorange

10/4/15 9:36pm

Also Hawaii will be the reason BSU gets in over rest of G5

BYU could play a frontloaded, road heavy OOC in any conference.

Name one G5 team that has four power 5 on their schedule?

JohnnyComeLately

10/4/15 5:54pm

Really? I can think of at least one other explanation

reddead

10/4/15 9:31pm

We actually couldn't. Not with the new emphasis on SOS. We get P5 credit now

morningcalmcougar

10/4/15 8:40pm

I'm sure we could - think of what TH could do if he only had to schedule 4 games

reddead

10/4/15 9:32pm

The point is if you are P5, you are only adding teams that inhance your SOS

morningcalmcougar

10/5/15 1:29am

I think I understand what you're saying - I just think that NY6 is BYU's ceiling

reddead

10/5/15 9:38am

I see your point, all boils down to what the goals of the school are as that

morningcalmcougar

10/5/15 8:10pm

BYU's status as an independent has nothing to do with opponent SOS.

jrj84105

10/5/15 5:19pm

Not sure I completely agree, and this may be a bit different from SOS arguments,

morningcalmcougar

10/5/15 8:07pm

the 1 OOC P5 opponent was self imposed to combat SOS criticism. It didn't work.
