It'll be harder for BYU to go undefeated than any past "BCS Buster". Here's why:

we all know the odds are against it – but that'll just make it all the more special!

We play good teams and half of our opponents have a bye or cupcake before us.

if P5 teams can go undefeated playing 9 p5 games a year we can do it with fewer

3/14/17 9:26am

Course, our opponents seem to always have a bye or easy team the week before

I think the trajectory is definitely pointing upward, though.

We recognize what we are and what we need to do as an Independent. We're not

^ Has unrealistic expectations, always wears blue goggles, and feels like next

You've closed the door on NY6 and a National Championship for the program.

3/14/17 1:42pm

Those are realistic, I was just being a jerk. I do think the deck is stacked in

IronPotato

You can keep the "mid major" stuff.

3/14/17 10:39am

Well, what would you call it?

canofpicante

3/14/17 12:59pm

One might call us an Independent P5-worthy Program.

3/14/17 1:49pm

I agree. But that's a long name bro.

At the same time, we are playing 6 p5 teams every year. In the MWC, you play one or two. Then if you bust you get three.

In 2008 Utah beat 4 teams that FINISHED ranked. That is tougher than any of

In 2012, we played 5.

Boom! Marker drop.

Interesting. 3 of the 5 weren't P5. I didn't think the mighty SJSU

ALUF 1990

Utah had an easier schedule that year. Ours was much tougher.

Well at least BYU has a shot....no G5 team will ever make the playoff

I get it, but this is my team. If I wanted a better guarantee I'd be a 'bama fan

SoutheastIdaCoug

Totally agree, being a Bama fan is like cheering for a cheating older brother

Pretorian

Even worse, our independence status gives us worse access than G5s.

My expectations for kalani don't involve him going undefeated. I just want us to

Pretorian

3/14/17 3:25pm

True, but I don't think we necessarily have to go undefeated for that

3/14/17 6:50pm

I personally wouldn't go right to happy but as I said above

SoutheastIdaCoug

3/14/17 3:31pm

The odds are stacked against all but 10 d1 programs

Not sure if that's exactly right but if you look at the teams that

Very poor logic and frankly a pathetic outlook

Pretorian

3/14/17 3:24pm

Very poor response with very poor logic.

canofpicante

3/14/17 4:50pm

What was one the biggest faults we consistently heard when we were winning 10+

Pretorian

3/14/17 6:43pm

This is faulty logic

Roko's Basilisk

Go look at the SOS rankings since we went independent.

canofpicante

3/14/17 4:52pm

A quick search of the Sagarin archives tells me...

Roko's Basilisk

3/14/17 5:01pm

Agreed. But when someone says "Grass is green". Do you argue?

canofpicante

3/14/17 5:45pm

Nice try, but no...

Roko's Basilisk

3/14/17 7:38pm

Keep the faith.

I don't know....we busted the BCS of the 80s already.
