Kind of like how it was unthinkable that we'd beat Oklahoma in Cowboy's Stadium

Or for BYU, coming off the national championship, to lose at UTEP.

College football is weird because it would be unthinkable for BYU

The correct analogy would be if BYU were ole miss

Not really. It would be unthinkable for BYU to go into Duke, Kentucky or Kansas

And familiarity removes some of the awe because we play them 2+ times per year.

Not only that, but we'd also be able to recruit players able to beat them too

Maybe its more positions and coaching that can be more dominant.

Maybe one and dones create less of a talent gap in college basketball

That could be true too.

We do benifit from familiarity because of our conference

Few things are more unthinkable than what BYU did last night! 100-1 on Pomeroy. 400-1 after first 6 minutes down 18-2.

^^^Not sure "nothing" is more unthinkable, but I for one didn't believe.

OK. edited. But winning at 'Bama is at least as likely, imo.

Gonzaga has been pretty much untested (save a few games). Paper tiger

Seems like they got what 5 good games? 3 vs top 25 teams?

I think that's just the nature of football vs. Basketball.

That's why 65 team BB playoffs make sense, and 8 team FB playoffs makes sense

March Madness = Almost any upset is possible. A hot shooting bball team can

True, a football "March madness" would not give you Fresno over Clemson

We were a 20.5 pt underdog. It was probably unthinkable for a lot of people.

Why would that be unthinkable?? Have you never watched sports before?
