You need to wrap your mind around the fact BYU is not playing a MWC level schedule anymore. And if BYU makes the B12, the competition will be exactly like this, just not in September.

Had BYU started with its November schedule instead of September, you'd be talking national title game right now. Which would be equally absurd for 2016.

I had high hopes for this season

Things not going the way you want is not a reason for a fan to call the season a bust after 4 games, that's called ...

9/26/16 10:32am

What sort of high hopes, exactly? New Year's bowl game? Heisman Trophy ceremony?

8-4

So you figured the team would drop some games, yet you're checking out and

we were significantly better on Saturday against WVU than the previous 3 games.

based on the bulk of your post, I wouldn't conclude you are a glass half full kind of guy.

I like that your signature says "Stalwart" and you bailed after 4 games . . .

errhkman

I haven't bailed...

BigYfan

9/26/16 10:37am

the season's not a bust. We could be 9-3 to end the year still.

errhkman

9/26/16 10:43am

What has BYU done to show you they can get there?

BigYfan

9/26/16 10:47am

because we just scored 32 points, and faced the toughest offense of the season

errhkman

9/26/16 10:55am

I don't buy that WV is the toughest offense BYU will face

BigYfan

9/26/16 11:17am

well, that's fine you don't buy it, but it's true. And I don't buy that this

errhkman

9/26/16 11:18am

You are stating it being "true" as an absolute...

BigYfan

9/26/16 11:23am

You are correct, according to the numbers. Arizona is the best offense

When you say "P5 level", do you mean "undefeated"? About half of P5

Not at P5 level yet? What? You mean not at elite P5 level yet, right?

You can't look forward to games agains MichSt, MissSt, & Boise (3-0)?

WVU is better than Cincy, Boise, and Mississippi St. may be even Michigan St.
