Past P5 results during 'special seasons' (we aren't who we think we are)

When's the last time we beat a P5 team that ended the season ranked?

1997. ASU.

Blue Cat

ironically that BYU team finished 6-5

We've beaten a couple current P5 teams that finished the season ranked but not

Case in point why we belong in MWC or AAC

11/18/15 11:10am

More accurately, we'd be middle tier

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:13am

We lost to a bad mizzou team and almost lost to Nebraska

Michigan State actually did lose to Nebraska

Walter Bellhaven

Agreed. Complaining about a win is just silly. Also, even really good P5 teams

db59840

11/18/15 1:50pm

Nebraska has 5 wins. That's more than the average P5 team we beat

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:17am

And almost beat UCLA

CasualFan

People were saying the same thing about Utah in the Pac-12

Blugar

11/18/15 11:31am

But we'd have P5 $ and wouldn't have to worry about future program viability

11/18/15 11:15am

This^^^^^^^^is the reason to be in a P5. We won't win many conference titles

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:16am

We'd recruit better and could win in that special year.

See TCU and Utah. Are they bottom feeders? No.

LegitCoug

11/18/15 11:22am

I see both of these programs as middle tier long term, winning occasionally

Colorado

11/18/15 11:28am

Which I'd be okay with if we were P5...

LegitCoug

11/18/15 11:32am

Nothing wrong with that.

Blugar

11/18/15 11:35am

And I see those schools with higher ceilings due to the honor code

My point in the OP is basically

macdizzle

11/18/15 11:30am

Agree on UCLA. Don't quite agree with Missouri.

Blue Cat

11/18/15 11:42am

Good data

macdizzle

11/18/15 12:11pm

I think we would have handled Missouri if Hansbro had stayed hurt one more

Bronco has the worst record against ranked teams among his "peers" that we know

THIS is a strong reason why I think the expanded AAC makes sense for BYU

boscatar

11/18/15 12:15pm

I think indy is better than AAC. More games on bigger stages.

macdizzle

11/18/15 12:25pm

2015 and 2016 provide some big stage games (mostly on the road); look beyond

boscatar

11/18/15 12:56pm

But what you say ignores the fact that we couldn't likely get most of those

P5 status doesn't make a team good. Mizzou was a bad team, P5 or not. BYU was

11/18/15 2:04pm

Of course not. I'm tired of it too.

macdizzle

11/18/15 2:20pm

P5 status is fooling you. Missouri would do just fine as a G5 this year. They

Ingenuity. That is what led to some magic in the 80s. That is what gave Boise

BSU also has had a fair number of NFL guys during their run

Colorado

11/18/15 2:59pm

That's fair, though perhaps their success is what brought

and who did Ohio State lose to in their special season last year

Y05

special seasons include bowl games

I'mBatman

11/18/15 7:04pm

Agreed. I wanted to make sure this season was able to be compared and we haven't

macdizzle

11/18/15 8:44pm

The information in your post is impossible...

byu_coug

Like the 1985 loss to UTEP

baldcoug74

What a weird way to justify and defend Bronco...

Gerald-DeGroot

11/18/15 11:06pm

I don't understand. Don't most of think that we're generally about the 25th to 35th best team in the country? That

HarlemCoug

11/23/15 4:29pm

I hope most people think that. We're middle tier P5.
