The only one that matters.

Numbers likely swap if they played 3 of 4 on the road and we played at home.

Ok. If that makes you feel better.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 7:21pm

Be honest, do you truly believe the records would be the same?

BarraCouga

11/28/15 7:52pm

I think we played very well against UCLA. And still lost. Not sure that we

...and Michigan would've kicked our butts at home too.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 8:14pm

Yeah but Michigan would have kicked Utah's butt any game after that first game

Ok. If that makes you feel better.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 8:26pm

Do you disagree? Do you think Utah would win that matchup after week 1?

Bgash

11/28/15 8:50pm

One thing matters. Utah beat them.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 8:58pm

To you. Objective observers would say Utah got a big advantage...

BarraCouga

11/28/15 9:03pm

Ok. If that makes you feel better.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 9:12pm

One of us is foolish enough to believe that W/L tells the whole story. Got it.

Bgash

11/28/15 9:21pm

It's what matters.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 9:22pm

I have data. BYU never lost at home. Not once. Never.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 9:24pm

I know that Utah beat Michigan. And Michigan beat BYU.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 9:33pm

So. One data point in a million. That theory gets shoot 10 times a week...

BarraCouga

11/28/15 9:43pm

Ok. If that makes you feel better about your team losing one more game than

Ignore reality. It clearly makes you feel better. And I think you need that.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:07pm

Fantasy is imagining "what-if". Reality (that I live in) is what actually

MantiCoug

If that makes you feel better.

BarraCouga

I think it sucks. It's you trying to make yourself feel better with mental

If ignoring the history of sport makes you feel better. Go ahead. Ignore it.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:23pm

If ignoring the actual W/L records make you feel better, good on ya, bud.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 10:27pm

I didn't. I simply acknowledged the reality of home field advantage.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:36pm

Look at my very first post. All I said was that W/L is all that matters. It is.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 10:41pm

If that makes you feel better. I like context. That's just me I guess.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:45pm

Context makes you feel better. It doesn't get you a W. Which is what matters.

MantiCoug

11/28/15 10:46pm

It does if you play at home. Statistically. Precisely my point.

BarraCouga

11/28/15 10:56pm

Ok

Apples and oranges: BYU played 3 of 4 on the road, Utah played 3 of 4 at home
