I'd take the Las Vegas bowl over the HW but
Seems like we'd have a better shot at NY6.

It's a fair write up on BYU. Independence will continue to keep fans away.

As opposed to the sweet affiliation of the MWC?

Where everyone still "has something to play for"

The only game where Aggies show up is home games vs BYU
BlackBart

And look at all the unsold tickets for tonight's Boise State game

Hey, if we beat SDSU this year we're defacto MWC Champs
CougarTailDevourer
11/16/19 2:39pm
I still struggle to believe so many people think the current MWC would be better

Because BYU could go undefeated in the MWC this year.

And if we did, it wouldn’t mean anything in the college football world.

You’re right- whereas now we are at the center of CFB talk nationally.

We have a much better chance of being respected playing the schedules we are building in Indy than

No we don’t. We have a great chance of winning some good games and losing some

I’d much rather play P5 schools than MWC schools. If people really want to go 12-0, why don’t we
The Dude Abides
11/16/19 8:32am
And if playing big time schools is all that matters, why don’t we schedule 2-1’s

Tell that to Boise St.

B-b-but Wrubell said we are Top 10 nationally in tv viewership!

Boise is a great example. They’ve been to three NY6 games and no one cares about them. Everyone acts like

And yet they are treated like the little kid who wins a blue ribbon at the fair. Nice job, son.

11/16/19 8:38am
You are wrong about that. BSU is a well respected program and folks don't
Ozymandias
11/16/19 8:58am
When they beat a P5 team, it’s always treated like an upset. That’s all we need to know
The Dude Abides
11/16/19 9:03am
You're wrong again.
Ozymandias
11/16/19 9:29am
Hmm. Okay.

Well I dont live in Utah or any where close to Utah or Idaho and talk a ton

So you have a perfect understanding of everything? Boise State is "respected"

No, they get ranked because they have a good record with a soft schedule. But even

And wouldn’t have been discussed. At least until they were 11-0 and someone would say
The Dude Abides
11/16/19 9:10am
If by “respect” you mean regular Top 25 rankings, Boise gets a lot of it.
Junior Deputy
11/16/19 10:05am
They get more respect than BYU right now

I’m not convinced they do. Everyone knows they are a solid program but they are

what's bigger? Playoffs? NOT happening

Yes. Playoffs would be bigger and should be the goal. If you’re going to compete in

Same with the MWC. Meaningless bowl games. I'd much rather play

I don’t agree. With the schedules we are building, if we go undefeated, we will be in a MUCH better

In the MWC, we'd be going to a similar bowl.

You can't see why people don't want to watch this November schedule?

I wouldn’t be anymore excited if it were Fresno State and San Jose State.
gwalker
11/16/19 8:02am
But you also wouldn't be any less excited.

True. That being the case, the next logical question is which of the two

There appear to be a few categories of people when it comes to independence.
The Dude Abides
11/16/19 12:41pm
I'm not in any of your categories now and I'll have to wait and see how I feel
Plato
11/16/19 1:48pm
I’d say you fit squarely into #3.
The Dude Abides
11/16/19 2:43pm
It's because you've deluded yourself into thinking that we're SO much better
Goliath

No, that's not it.

Expectations. Most folks would expect a return to 10-win seasons in the MWC.

Sorry but this year BYU could be 12-0 and going to a NY6 bowl in the MWC.
ToasterChive
11/16/19 7:44am
We would have still played and lost to Utah if we are in the MWC.
Ozymandias
