Utah can say how much they have passed us up all they want, but this stat is

The problem is the trend no?

The good thing is the trend has already started correcting itself this year.

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.

This, what was this same stat in 2002?

LaVell accounted for 12 of those

Not really.

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

Final poll rankings have a ton to do with measuring teams and most importantly

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

My post isn't regarding football before the AP poll.

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

Scratch

1/12/21 1:35pm

Your point is about passing a historically strong program. BYU has passed Yale but the data you're using likely wouldn't

None of what you just said has anything to do with whether or not Utah has

You are acting like those AP top 25 finishes happened in the earliest days of

westsidecoug

1/12/21 1:27pm

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

*sigh* And yes, that is around the time when BYU passed Utah and stayed ahead

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

westsidecoug

1/12/21 3:49pm

Do you understand that this discussion has nothing to do with the weight placed

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

The irony is that this is on a post trying to explain why we're still better

Utah is closer there to USU than BYU.

One day Clemson (34) might even pass up USC (50)
