It'll be harder for BYU to go undefeated than any past "BCS Buster". Here's why:

we all know the odds are against it – but that'll just make it all the more special!

We play good teams and half of our opponents have a bye or cupcake before us.

if P5 teams can go undefeated playing 9 p5 games a year we can do it with fewer

Course, our opponents seem to always have a bye or easy team the week before

I think the trajectory is definitely pointing upward, though.

We recognize what we are and what we need to do as an Independent. We're not

You've closed the door on NY6 and a National Championship for the program.

Those are realistic, I was just being a jerk. I do think the deck is stacked in

You can keep the "mid major" stuff.

Well, what would you call it?

One might call us an Independent P5-worthy Program.

I agree. But that's a long name bro.

At the same time, we are playing 6 p5 teams every year. In the MWC, you play one or two. Then if you bust you get three.

In 2008 Utah beat 4 teams that FINISHED ranked. That is tougher than any of

Interesting. 3 of the 5 weren't P5. I didn't think the mighty SJSU

Utah had an easier schedule that year. Ours was much tougher.

Well at least BYU has a shot....no G5 team will ever make the playoff

I get it, but this is my team. If I wanted a better guarantee I'd be a 'bama fan

Totally agree, being a Bama fan is like cheering for a cheating older brother

Even worse, our independence status gives us worse access than G5s.

My expectations for kalani don't involve him going undefeated. I just want us to

The goal needs to be get to a NY6 game, that is the only thing Bronco didn't do
Pretorian

True, but I don't think we necessarily have to go undefeated for that

Very poor logic and frankly a pathetic outlook

Very poor response with very poor logic.
