with a win BYU would have put itself into a position to run the table, and have a spotlight on them unlike any year in recent memory. There is no comparison with this Michigan game.

This game against Michigan is the biggest game BYU has had in years.

Or at least the biggest in a week

Disagree. Last week's game was the biggest in years.

We lost and still remained fairly relevant.That won't happen if we lose tomorrow

spugeddy24

9/25/15 10:03am

But we had more to gain last week than we do this week

Yakov

We still maintain NY6 with a win tomorrow. We didn't lose that last week.

Playoff was NOT a longshot if we went undefeated. Face it, you're OP is just

The ceiling was higher last week. The floor is much lower this week.

And the floor is what scares me. A NY6 bowl would still be huge.

spugeddy24

Agreed. This still has the potential to be a very special season.

Fair point. It's like TNT's Pinball Arcade posts. Completely ignored now

Eh, the situation is similar, though not identical to our week 4 last year v USU

USU Was week 5 last year, and it is very different this time.

You're right about the week

I don't due to Taysom and Mangum

Biggest game as an Indy for sure. A win validates the previous 3 games.

Turnpike Lane

By that logic, Wagner will be the biggest game after we pay Michigan...

It would be if we lost.

This exactly.

Exactly! Last week's game was WAY bigger.

I'm worried about our team handles the travel

Our guys get up an practice at 6am, a 10 am start time shouldn't be an issue.

If anything, this should be an advantage for BYU

I'm also concerned about the travel...combined with 3 nail biters in a row.

I think it is the best chance BYU has to solidify

Goatnapper'96

9/25/15 10:05am

Yup, we will lose all attention with a loss tomorrow.

Nope, last week's game was bigger. You guys are out to lunch! Seriously?

You folks out west forget that most people don't respect the PAC

I'd say equal to the Wisconsin game 2 years ago

From here on out in a sense every game is the biggest...

I think a lot will depend on how much better recruiting gets...BYU's weakness

It's a big one, but only about #3 thus far this season. We're not Utah.

And yet, Nebraska and Boise were bigger. Without those wins, nobody would
