Independent have just been more top-heavy- 3/4 good teams the rest bad.
Bronco's MWC schedules were on par or tougher than anything Kalani has faced so far per sagarin.

This is why an independent schedule is better than a MWC schedule.

But what about my personal issues with self loathing as it relates to my inferiority complex compared to Utah?

Wins against good opponents should fix that. Losses in independence mean you are

Sure, but real competitors cannot compete if they aren't able to stare at a conference standings race.

Wins against MWC teams are nicer than losses to MWC teams. That is true.

What games in September, in Lavell's era, was remembered the most?

Different times. Nobody cares about bowl games now.

Yes... it's different times, where getting to and winning your conference championship game...

I don't want to be a legendary MWC team. No thanks. We already have that.
Coach's Dad

I don't either... but I don't want to be Tom Hanks on a desseted island talking to a volleyball...

So, you'd rather be on an island with a bunch of chimps pretending to be people?

Have you seen the female chimp? I'm just saying

And now weigh those against the games in December...
Coug

Those are bowl games...

Exactly... they mean more than the regular season garbage games.

Now, that is Week 1,2,3,4...in the past we play maybe 1-2 a year, big difference

From January to August, an independent schedule is better.

Name the last quality P5 road win for BYU.
Blue Cat
8/20/18 2:02pm
Why are you putting so many qualifiers on our P5 wins? Best to look at all
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 2:17pm
We play more P5 road games than home. Significantly more P5 road than neutral.

At the end of the day, he will still view a win over a 4-8 Nebraska team....
Coug
8/20/18 2:39pm
You are describing everyone in the country. Beating names matter. People
Coach's Dad
8/20/18 3:13pm
And nobody remembers our wins over the teams we mentioned...
Coug
8/20/18 3:19pm
We can agree to disagree. You just prioritize more wins over quality wins. I

Nobody has made Independence work but 1 team...

Looks like I didn't persuade you. To each their own.

Road wins are not the only important wins. Here's some data for you.

Since you won't answer my question. Here's some data for you.
Blue Cat

I already told you that your request for that stat was meaningless. Just looking
Coach's Dad

And I explained to you why it mattered.

How do you define struggled?
Coach's Dad

Winning 40% of your games against P5s = "struggled". Your linked post is only listing home games

Dialing back our schedule? That's what I said! What a loser attitude.

Since when has a G5 schedule with 2-3 P5s mixed in been easy for our program?

Yep, I understand it. And Holmoe understands it. And I would imagine he would be

It's getting really boring having nothing to play for mid-Sept-Dec.
Mr. Scoobs

Recency bias. We have shown we can beat decent P5 teams. Last year is more

Nah, I haven't watched the last few games of each independent year in a while

It's all relative. People only started hating the MW when Utah went PAC-12.
Mr. Scoobs

No, we started hating the MWC when they started screwing over BYU

Cherry picking comments and concluding everything is 100% opinion is strange.

Other than, like, playing to win the games? Or do you just not like football?

I can't find any rational, non-emotional reason that MWC is better than Indy.

BYU was way more relevent nationally in the MWC.
