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

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

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

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.

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

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.
