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.

That was weak sauce. See my reply.

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.

Why R you bringing data/facts into this argument? Everyone knows P5 schedules R

If we had a typical Big12 schedule, this board would be giddy about having our best and most

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

The Dude Abides

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

The Dude Abides

3/26/17 8:09pm

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

BamaCoug

3/26/17 8:23pm

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

3/26/17 8:40pm

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

Actually, it's the nicest thing he has ever said to me. I thought it was kind of a nice moment.

Pretty sure that's not a CBS ranking. That's some random dude named Matt Smith

I see 4 bad games (counting Oregon State which BYU fans would call a good game simply because they're P5),

The Dude Abides

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

Arizona isn't bad? And what were their toughest road games, and how far away?

I'll give you Arizona is bad. Valid point. We're looking at teams on the schedule. We have

Your comment on road games and order of games as a component of SOS?

chilango

Okay. Neutral against LSU. Home against Wisconsin, Utah, Boise. Road game against Miss St.

Lol. They're stadium is one of the most intimidating places to play a game in all of college football. Lol

The Dude Abides

3/26/17 10:12pm

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

HarlemCoug

3/26/17 10:39pm

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

Nice to see you switch the argument, from "it's really a neutral site, I

For what it's worth, Cougarboard would collectively flip out if we played this schedule.

Agree CB would flip out 4 that Sked; because it would mean we're in the PAC12!

I think it's a better schedule than G5s. Not as good as P5 schedules.

Yet better than 25 P5 schedules. Your argument ignores that little gem
