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

(if they win out) That Sugar Bowl showed what happens when you match up a team with no defense to a power conference opponent. Most of these g5 contenders have nothing on the Boise State defense and the NY6 relies on an eye test, not computers.

Some thoughts on relevance

Boise is 25th

You are right I will edit that part

Unfortunately right now we are not relevant.

If we win the next two games I would put money

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"

JohnnyComeLately

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

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.
