It's really that those other teams were even more embarrassingly terrible

You could justifiably call 2010 Utah State and 2013 UVA a toss-up - different rankings would sort them differently. But those 2017 teams were a step below.

Oh, I've been around and remember those years very well.

Benfica1

12/9/19 8:39am

Man, if we would have won those three games....

We sure do beat a lot of mid level G5's. Only beat 4 P5's that finished their season with 8 wins. None with 9 wins. That

I count 5

SUAVO

12/9/19 8:58am

not a lot of teams beat P5's with 9 wins. You could probably say that about most

stansburycoug

12/9/19 9:12am

9 win teams are very good, but we should be better.

Blue Cat

12/9/19 9:55am

Why should we be better against P5's than Utah? There is nothing that gives

SUAVO

12/9/19 10:01am

It's not about being better than Utah.

Blue Cat

12/9/19 10:43am

I can see that. The P5/G5 thing can be a little but if a red herring to, though

Losses against teams that failed to make it to a bowl game

12/9/19 11:07am

Is it accurate to count some teams who qualify and make a bowl and not those

SUAVO

12/9/19 11:27am

Sub 80 FPI would probably be a better measure for really bad losses than W-L

stansburycoug

12/9/19 11:34am

Yeah maybe do a sub 80 FPI like stansbury coug suggested

BYU313

12/10/19 12:54am

Also Bronco had 4 losses in last 4 yrs independence; Kalani had 5

D.T. Survivor

12/9/19 11:50am

Bronco's 4 "bad losses" were all P5 schools, meanwhile 4/5 for Kalani are G5

Exactly why you should look at Sag or FPI instead of wins and losses

stansburycoug

12/9/19 12:01pm

2013 UVA would have dump trucked 2017 ECU or UMass

SP+ Has the 2010 USU loss as the worst team we've ever lost to.

Toledo is bowl eligible though.

Colorado

12/10/19 9:25am

Yes, but they are also the only team that was left out

BYU313

12/10/19 10:48am

That's what happens when you are rated 108th in the country

stansburycoug

12/10/19 10:49am

Exactly

BYU313

12/10/19 11:55am

They lost their QB either during or after our game....so I think we played a

Hawaii will make a record tying 6 wins. Nice.

If only we had a serviceable offense in 2012.... We are cursed.
