Possibly. But, as an independent we have much greater control over that chance?

Independence or P5 is our only path to the playoffs under the current system...

Yeah, BYU isn't getting into the playoff anytime in the foreseeable future. They

Need to start with a BCS bowl first and G5 is the easier way to get there.

How does playing in a BCS bowl help?

It's a more intermediate goal that is: 1) easier to obtain than the playoff

So, you believe joining a G5 will help us join a P5 better than independence?

Had the Big12 picked Byu over UH, independence would have had 0 to do with it.

Dunno. But how has independence helped so far? I think it would be easier to get

The issue with the “just win” cop-out is that it ignores how our Indy schedules

First goal should be trying to finish in the top 25 playoff talk is laughable

BYU was extremely close in 2006 and 2007. But yeah, it has been 10 years. 9 years since Utah did it.

Indy is a crappy path to the playoff and g5 is a crappy path. They are probably

NY6 is more achievable in a G5

Is NY6 the goal for you? No higher?

I think the chances of us making a playoff are the same as us in a P5 conference

We would be left out of playoffs going undefeated as Indy. Besides, we won't go

That’s a joke. Houston was NEVER in the running for the playoffs.

They were, actually. At the very least they were certainly closer than we will

G5 and hope for playoff expansion. That is the best we have to look forward to

Multiple G5 teams have better SOS than BYU. They also play a CCG.
Turbine
10/11/17 10:48pm
So, you're saying a G5 team with a high SOS because of a CCG can make it?
youngm
10/11/17 10:52pm
That a G5 chance could actually be better than BYU. Neither has a good chance.

10/11/17 11:09pm

Independence might be the worst path to the playoff. We dont have a championship

No way- as long as we keep pretending we’re not a G5 the playoff committee will

Who cares? We are so far from being a playoff team. Your point is irrelevant.
