higher as an independent. I got sick of being in the WAC and having glossy records and championships and listening to people say, "Who have they played?" I don't want to go back to that. I think we can do much better. Boise State, for example, has no shot at a playoff spot. BYU's shot on a given year might be a longshot, but we play the kind of schedules and historic opponents that give us a chance to force our way into the conversation.
