Don't tell me our schedule isn't p5-worthy & enticing recruits. Tre Greene tweet

I don't think it is P5 worthy, but maybe better than any other G5

I'll give you a PAC 12 schedule at random. Let's say Oregon State.

Agree. See my "not even close?" reply just below for some examples.

Don't be too dismissive of the games at ECU and at Hawaii, at least not yet. ECU

Our struggling in those games or not has nothing to do with the fact they are two of the worst teams in the country.

Not even close to a P5 schedule. Pretty decent schedule for us since going Indy though.

Not even close?

I think those are night and day different because of their conference schedules. You said it best. Our last half of the

You give the P5 status too much credit IMO. We are stronger at the top of sked

BamaCoug

I think it's absolute lunacy to say our schedule even compares. We play two great teams. 3 good teams. And 8 bad teams.

The Dude Abides

3/26/17 8:28pm

Then how do you explain the CBS ranking of our schedule being harder than 25 P5?

BamaCoug

LSU and Wisconsin help an awful lot. I don't know how you can look at a schedule with those

So BYU and the 25 P5 teams with worse schedules don't play a P5 schedule?

Guaranteed that KenPom would label this a "semi-away" game for the Cougs. No way is it "neutral"

HarlemCoug

Call it what you want. Just don't call it a true road game. It's way more neutral than road.
