Well, it's seems back when we were winning that championship we got respect.

When BYU was #1 the landscape was much different and the WAC was much more

We used to get pretty excited about winning conference championships.

Because that's what we had....we have something better now.

Many more games against relevant teams...not laden to sister's of the poor

You mean like UMASS, UNLV, SJSU, FSU?

And your wish has been granted. How are you liking it this year?

I guess I must be in the minority. I have never seen the conference championship as anything to look forward to. I

You play to win as many games as possible every year.

Wrong! Every sport, in the world, has playoffs or championship games or

Joe Hardy

10/12/17 4:23pm

Most every other sport and division of the NCAA have a full playoff system so a division or conference championship

Rhino84

10/12/17 5:40pm

Odds are the winner of the AAC or MWC get the NY6.

Joe Hardy

10/12/17 5:43pm

Frankly with the playoff I couldn't care less about the NY6. Yes it would be fun and an accomplishment but it is not

Rhino84

10/12/17 5:46pm

If you could care less about NY6 then I don’t know what

kosmokramer

10/12/17 9:18pm

Only chance is if the playoff is expanded to 16.

Cougstreak

10/12/17 9:22pm

Once teams see the money they are leaving on the table by not having a true playoff system it will happen. Traditional

1-5 does some crazy things to people...

We haven’t had to claw for quite some time. This is a new experience for many

Because you shouldn't react after a single game, but after multiple seasons...

What_The_Hill?

10/12/17 8:53am

Fools gold. All of those teams finished the season with losing records.

mm73

10/12/17 8:54am

And yet we relished those wins more than our bowl win over Wyoming

yahtzee

10/12/17 9:05am

That's not the point. The point is nobody talked about moving back to the MWC after we beat those teams.

Conan

Not true

Joe Hardy

So, you're admitting we're not good enough to be P5

youngm

10/12/17 11:53am

Yes.

CougarinOZ

10/12/17 1:36pm

Yep, Kansas, Rutgers, Vanderbilt, and Boston College are much better programs

Pretorian

10/12/17 2:48pm

If your aspiration is to be a bottom 1/3 P5 program then you must LOVE this year

CougarinOZ

10/12/17 3:23pm

The fact is we are somewhere in the middle of P5 most years

Colorado

10/12/17 5:06pm

Not my aspirations, that is the reality. We are P5 quality without P5 money and

Pretorian

10/12/17 7:17pm

No, just admitting that we are not P5

Yup... winning solves everything.

Nearly of all of which were bad teams when we beat them.

Cougstreak

But we've beaten teams like those while IN a conference, too.

There is no evidence..Only that the current state of BYU began with Indy
