3 horrendous games really drag down the other 10

4: Toledo, USF, SDSU and Hawaii. That's crap-ola.

I really don't care what their overall average was. BYU gets ranked when they win 10+ and lose 3 or less

They finish ranked this year

Looking at this year's poll, I'm not sure it's a given they are in with a 10-3 record.

We would have had a good chance at ending near or replacing Boise State had

They win those games if they don’t start out with four straight bowl P5 teams

well then we should lighten up the schedule

Causation vs. Correlation?

Nestor

When BYU wins 40% of their P5 games, it's causation

Indy Coug

1/14/20 11:48am

Which assumes that BYU's P5 win rate is fixed and not capable of changing.

Well, it hasn't really changed in nearly 50 years...

Indy Coug

Yeah. That’s it. Not the coaching. Our SOS of #65

1/14/20 1:13pm

Which shows how stupid ranking are.

Whens the last time we had a 10 year drought? The 60s-70s?

If they want to fix it, they'd go to MWC. The schedule is too hard for this...

1/14/20 11:32am

I do not care much about AP poll or coaches poll anymore. Massey's is more

We beat two top 25 teams this year. What a disappointment.

I'm on record as saying we should have let KS go after not winning the last 6...

KS revealed his colors with Ty Detmer and how he handled that!

Palestra

If you're saying KS should have been fired when he fired TD, I agree.

Hummm, that is pretty much the INDY era. The new normal...
