Has to be Missouri: Neutral there and Home in November against an SEC opponent.

6/19/17 2:48pm

I'd take Stanford (2/2 with 2 November games) over that. Or Virginia (2/1 in BYU's favor). But you're

6/19/17 2:54pm

Virginia is a combo of coach buyout or trade

I know, but it resulted in a home/home turning into a 2/1 for BYU.

6/19/17 3:27pm

My only issue with the Stanford deal is that both Nov games are on the road.

Great for recruiting too. See Notre Dame

LSU "neutral" site -- LOL.

It's a 4 hour drive and in a different State. Yes, they'll outnumber BYU by a wide margin.

6/19/17 2:59pm

Man- LSU in Houston is a home game- so many LSU fans all over Houston

Is it being played at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge? Then it's not a home game.

I predict it will be sold out 20% BYU- that's pretty home worthy

SouthernBlueBlood

6/19/17 3:11pm

Still not a home game not matter how you slice it.

It is in the way that matters most: crowd influence on the refereeing. Studies

chilango

Still not a home game. If Oregon and Michigan State play in the Rose Bowl, there will likely be more

6/19/17 6:46pm

Bad comparison, because the fans would be fairly evenly split. Playing LSU in

chilango

6/19/17 6:57pm

Now you're switching arguments.

6/19/17 7:02pm

No, I'm not. My argument is that the crowd is the most important part of home

chilango

6/19/17 7:14pm

Studies haven't shown that. You cited the one "study" from a site called freakonomics.

6/19/17 11:12pm

Can you cite any studies that have reached a different conclusion?

chilango

6/20/17 4:43am

Freakonomics didn't sponsor or publish the study. They just wrote an article

If we get to 20%, it will be an accomplishment.

chilango

6/19/17 6:37pm

Yes, it will be much more like a home game for LSU. That doesn't change the fact that it's a neutral.

More LSU fans in Houston than UH fans

Boise State. G5 label aside, a 12 yr deal with one of the best programs in CFB.

You're right if this game was in November it would be so much better

SouthernBlueBlood

6/19/17 6:55pm

Either Stanford or USC (my vote) meaningful games in November are huge

What about Wisky home/home?

BYU '80

6/20/17 7:54am

Thought that was a delayed 2 for 1: 2013 at Wisky, 2017 in Provo, 2018 at Wisky.

6/20/17 8:34am

You could be right. I didn't remember the 2018 game

BYU '80

6/20/17 6:11pm

I am leery of the 2x home/home games w/ Stanford
