Ok. If that makes you feel better.
One of us has actual data. One of us has what-ifs.

Numbers likely swap if they played 3 of 4 on the road and we played at home.

Be honest, do you truly believe the records would be the same?

I think we played very well against UCLA. And still lost. Not sure that we

...and Michigan would've kicked our butts at home too.

Yeah but Michigan would have kicked Utah's butt any game after that first game

Do you disagree? Do you think Utah would win that matchup after week 1?

One thing matters. Utah beat them.

To you. Objective observers would say Utah got a big advantage...

One of us is foolish enough to believe that W/L tells the whole story. Got it.

I have data. BYU never lost at home. Not once. Never.
BarraCouga

I know that Utah beat Michigan. And Michigan beat BYU.

So. One data point in a million. That theory gets shoot 10 times a week...

Ignore reality. It clearly makes you feel better. And I think you need that.

Fantasy is imagining "what-if". Reality (that I live in) is what actually

If ignoring the history of sport makes you feel better. Go ahead. Ignore it.

If ignoring the actual W/L records make you feel better, good on ya, bud.
MantiCoug

I didn't. I simply acknowledged the reality of home field advantage.

Look at my very first post. All I said was that W/L is all that matters. It is.

If that makes you feel better. I like context. That's just me I guess.
BarraCouga
11/28/15 10:45pm
Context makes you feel better. It doesn't get you a W. Which is what matters.
MantiCoug
11/28/15 10:46pm
It does if you play at home. Statistically. Precisely my point.

Apples and oranges: BYU played 3 of 4 on the road, Utah played 3 of 4 at home
