Of late I've been thinking a lot about BYU's place in CFB

Holy dissertation, Batman!

The admins are frugal, but in the case of football, it needs to be an investment

I agree, but what is the endgame with Independence?

CaliWG

10/18/18 4:51pm

If P5 comes calling, I'm answering. But independence can work too.

Exposure. National tv

I’ve thought about the exposure issue & I’ve got a question

In a conference they would play the lower teams & miss the major inter-sectional

I’m not necessarily talking about joining the AAC, maybe creating something new

CaliWG

It’s the only thing that bar P5 I think would be good- best of G5 split to new conference. See what the market brings.

There are really only so many ways to go about it that have a legit future

CaliWG

10/19/18 9:03am

First I don’t think it’s happening nor do I want to join G5 as constituted but having a few dog football programs isn’t

The 4 team CFP is in trouble

CaliWG

10/19/18 9:16am

Pretty sure that won't ever happen

TNT

10/18/18 5:49pm

So are you basically asking if independence is good for BYU?

Costanza

10/18/18 4:49pm

The major fault with your analysis...

StantonMac

The fact that they play in conferences with the likes of Wyoming & Tulane hurts

Who would that include? just curious, I would have trouble finding enough teams

here's to hoping

First I’m not a fan of leaving INDY but if we did I would do the following

SouthernBlueBlood

10/19/18 11:50am

It would be hard to get down to 6-7 conf games. I don't think most schools

That division would make travel less of a pain, but the list of decent American

here's to hoping

10/19/18 1:19pm

It’s a fun discussion. I never get bored of it

SouthernBlueBlood

10/19/18 2:43pm

All that East Coast travel would wear on the team. Don’t think it turns out well

Playing for an AAC title may sound interesting, but only b/c we just lost to USU

Except if BYU wins a conference title

When was the last time bowl access was an issue for BYU? 1984? Was it even then?

Still Questing

10/19/18 10:26am

NY6 Bowl access is a valid point but I see that as fools gold...

Except it might be an easier road to 1 loss or

woooh...did you also happen to write the Book of Isaiah as well?

icecougar

That is the most logical argument for joining a G5 that I have ever heard.

RoyalCoug99

10/18/18 8:26pm

I liked it until the 'join a conference of have-nots'.

Benfica1

10/18/18 9:40pm

I look at it a bit differently

CaliWG

10/18/18 10:22pm

Yeah, have less fans. Have you seen a full stadium at an AAC game?

RoyalCoug99

10/19/18 12:22am

Im not talking AAC necessarily

We obviously have to win

I always shut down when the “BYU has nothing to play for” comment jumps out.

Refugee

After the 1st or 2nd conference loss teams no longer have anything to play for

Lavell cared about conference championships, winning about 20 of them.

Once a G5, always a G5. Won't work. When you say BYU has nothing to play for,

CaliWG

I am a big indy supporter, but 'once a g5, always a g5' is objectively false

Dissenter

Just play good teams. We don't have to always win but always play exciting games

qom

10/19/18 8:39am

We do have something to play for. The quality of our bowl game is directly tied

andrewg3

10/19/18 8:55am

This is only the case if the P5 conferences don't fill their allotments

CaliWG

10/19/18 9:06am

Right. But all the conferences rarely fill all their bowls.

To me it comes down to one question: can you win?
