UT is their rival! Anything can happen there. But since then OU knocked off

3 top 15 teams! You're making half an argument. Ever heard the phrase "half-baked opinion?" That's what you're putting out there. You fail to make the point that even with bad losses each of these programs had great wins to more than balance them out--except of course for BYU!

For those who want to give Bronco/BYU crap for losing to 5-7 Missouri

and life is too short to still worry about a loss 3 games ago. Enjoy the ride.

Great points, I note those include "elite" coaches in Fisher, Stoops, and the

Please compare their good wins versus ours. I think most people's complaint

11/30/15 6:19am

Then compare their recruiting to ours.

mulletYno

11/30/15 6:23am

And their football budgets

nephicoug

11/30/15 6:33am

And their coaching salaries

If you are going to use that reason to omit comparing wins, than you can't

Who is responsible for recruiting?

The honor code.

So we are what we are? In the 30s, an 8-4 ish

Making a statement like this is absurd. Give me Taysom and Jamaal this year and

BYU can't get the depth it needs to not have to rely somewhat on injury luck

"You have a playoff team with a worse loss than our Mizzou loss" negates your

unctoothman

11/30/15 6:42am

My point is that a lot of teams have these kind of losses - even very good ones

nephicoug

11/30/15 7:33am

Your point is accurate, the loss was bad. Even worse in person. My counterpoint

unctoothman

11/30/15 9:09am

Did anyone beat those teams 31 to 0? Did those teams beat any GOOD teams?

11/30/15 2:12pm

I hope not

Colorado

11/30/15 8:13pm

It was my fault. For whatever reason, we stink when I attend the game in person

Colorado

11/30/15 8:11pm

Don't waste your breath...if it wasn't that they would complain about something

Fdnman

11/30/15 6:56am

this, spoiled brats, same for USU/UU. They want to stroke their personal egos.

I'm not sure Mizzou would be favored over more than 1 of those teams.

given the events leading up to that game, they had a unique edge coming into

BlackBart

Yea, this was the real issue IMO.

CMuehle

11/30/15 7:30am

Too bad many of the expert analysts on CB were so adamant that the team was "fractured" and "divided" and "a mess"

foofcoug

11/30/15 7:35am

That lasted right up until the Pinkel announced he had cancer.

CMuehle

11/30/15 8:30am

I think they would have been fractured but for the coach announcing cancer

Bob Vance

11/30/15 8:38am

Unfortunately they are in a P5 conference

2FarGone

11/30/15 7:32am

You must have not watched the game, we gave it to them.

11/30/15 7:58am

Did you watch the OU-Texas game? How about the UNC-South Carolina game

nephicoug

11/30/15 8:05am

And are the OU fans upset about that loss, yes. You should have seen twitter

But those teams are all ranked. If BYU were also ranked after having lost to

Monomachos

11/30/15 8:02am

You could also say that BYU is not ranked because they lost one to UCLA that

nephicoug

11/30/15 8:06am

Sure, except losing to ranked teams always looks better than losing to unranked

Monomachos

11/30/15 8:12am

All four games were on the road.

11/30/15 10:02am

That's fair...

11/30/15 8:44am

Excellent Post! Where are the wins to offset that bad loss?

slatecoug

11/30/15 9:27am

This is really what it comes down to

vegas guey

11/30/15 10:10am

It's counterproductive to say BYU belongs in a P5 conf and then post a 1-3....

slatecoug

11/30/15 9:23am

3-0 vs P5 last year. A lot of good that did us.

mulletYno

11/30/15 8:19pm

At least last year he could say, "See, we belong".

slatecoug

12/1/15 5:07am

All 4 in the road. How many P5 teams play all their P5 games on the road?

Colorado

11/30/15 8:22pm

All P5 schools play at least 4 road games against P5 schools each year.

slatecoug

12/1/15 5:02am

Yes. And what is the average record in those road games?

Colorado

12/1/15 5:57am

All anyone has ever claimed is that we're middle tier P5.

Colorado

12/1/15 6:35am

The problem is BYU does not have the luxury of playing by the same rules as P5
