The irony is that this is on a post trying to explain why we're still better
than Utah . . . both rival schools continue to be important to the other.
I think its hard to argue that BYU's football program is on par with Utah's today. That sucks, but it is what it is.

A single year is a data point. Let's look at next season and see if there is a trend correction.

Sure it is one data point, but it is going in the right direction. That is all

This year's schedule for BYU was certainly an outlier if you consider a few

Leaving aside the original schedule, it's clear this was a good BYU team.

I think everyone can agree BYU was a good team in 2020. The question is if they

That is fair, but this year's team was special regardless of the schedule. Too

BYU played a pathetic schedule. This year was a complete outlier. Means nothing.

What does this have to do with whether Utah has passed up BYU? "Passed up"

Yale enjoyed great success before the era of the AP Polls. Clearly BYU is a better program but Yale would be high on...

Do you seriously not understand the point here? You're trying to distinguish

Yes they do. And they occurred before Utah passed BYU by. That's the point.

BYU didn't have a single AP top 25 finish until a few years after LaVell took

We'll just have to agree to disagree. I put more weight on AP top 25 finishes

I'd think that as well if my team had under 10.

The fact that Ute fans regularly live and post on CB is the ultimate data point
