Sporting News: "The Cougars, however, technically count as a Power 5 school"

I wish we counted as a P5 where it really mattered and not just scheduling

Where does it really matter?

Money and access will come as BYU schedules

Exactly.

access equal to p5 access comes only through p5 membership

He's talking access to a playoff or BCS games. And that is achieved, by playing

P5 level access comes from being a P5 member.

Comparisons to ND will be relevant when BYU has a contract with a NY6 bowl
DapperDan

Whereas 5 years ago no one would have believed the position BYU is in right now

Unless you're looking for attaboys, that doesn't get us in a conference

It does, however, get us closer to what Notre Dame has been working for as

Without a doubt. All I'm saying is that there are some valid comparisons.

That's the thing. We aren't really moving closer, we're just staying afloat
DapperDan

Tell me this. When was the last time a team - ANY TEAM - was able to schedule

ND would be the only other school

We'll see if that home game ever happens. I have my doubts.

There is a reason Holmoe is so anxious to get us into a P5 conference...

Which NY6 bowl does ND have a contract with?

What is P5 level access? Do you mean preferential treatment for winning a CCG?

Yes

"Other" access is gained through winning against a tough schedule. And BYU has

Some BYU fans are less willing to call BYU P5 than objective outsiders are.

Just the informed fans.

I'm glad your attitude isn't held by the ADs of the other P5 schools.

Except that Boise got in with 2 losses

not really. Boise St. has a 10 year history of credibility that BYU doesnt have

And yet it is BYU that is considered P5, while Boise, deserving or not, isn't.

that's because by definition BSU can't be P5 since they are in a non-P5 conferen

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it just the SEC and ACC who said BYU is P5?

The SEC is the only one that matters - and I am not a huge fan of the SEC.
