Very poor response with very poor logic.
Pay attention. I said that it would be harder for BYU to go undefeated then any other BCS busting team. It will be harder because our schedule is more difficult. Now, in the English language, we call this a generalization. Let me explain:

1) P5 teams are generally better than G8 teams. Do you disagree? Check any season's final rankings since the beginning of rankings and you'll see what I mean. Check historic winning percentages of P5 against G8 teams. Check conference rankings.

2) BYU is scheduling 4-6 G5 teams, often twice as many P5 teams as any non-P5 team except for Notre Dame. Do you disagree?

3) BYU is also scheduling many of the best G8 teams from around the country like Boise, Houston, etc.

4) Based on these things, generally speaking, BYU will have a more difficult schedule than any G8 team going undefeated. Most of the time. It is a generalization. And fair one at that. Check SOS rankings. BYU has has the most difficult non-P5 schedule three of the last five years since going independent. The other two years we were number two. There are almost a hundred G8 teams and we're gonna have The most difficult schedule almost every year.
