You know we never competed with the best, even in the 80s, right?

I completely agree. On any given Saturday we may win, as can almost any team,

No we wouldn't have gotten in over Bama. We'd be like UCF.

IronPotato

I think we can compete on some weekends, but week-after-week, nope. And we

13-0 BYU would've been MUCH higher than 12, maybe not top4, but higher than UCF

Dissenter

1/9/18 1:50pm

Exactly, but we still don't get in over a one loss Alabama team.

Yunit

1/9/18 2:04pm

idk, 13-0 BYU vs 11-1 Bama?

Dissenter

They beat LSU and Miss State this year. How'd we do ??

baughac

1/9/18 4:47pm

lol, we sucked. Everyone knows that. That's not the issue at hand

Dissenter

UCF shows he's right.

Stop using UCF as a measuring stick, they're not

They were this year.

We'd have to win 2 years in a row to be considered and would have to blow out

1996 could’ve competed with anyone. I stand by that.

And yet the HCO would never allow for tht assemblage today. I stand by that. 🙁

Mostly true, but recent history shows we can still be competitive and I believe

We may have players and coaches who can put us in the right spot, but I don't

BYU is more respected than UCF, and plays better teams (and more teams)

13-0 BYU would have gotten more consideration, but I'm not sure we still would

By "special season," I mean top 10, as far at the CFP goes, it has a lot to do

While most of that is true

Yep. It is what it is, and I don't ever see it changing.

My question is: would ESPN allow us to dumb down our schedule?

dreamlvr

1/9/18 11:18am

Good question

1/9/18 11:24am

Dumbing down the schedule will make us like Baylor or Boise State.

Wrong

There are 65 P5 teams. Being 60 in talent is actually P5. FYI.

Yep! BYU is at least a top 50 program, and generally more like top 30. Not even

BYU hasn't finished ranked in almost a decade. Idk, how that equates to top

40-50 sounds about right these days

we are in the 60s in recruiting and usually behind about 4 g5 teams.

P5 doesn't necessarily mean a top 65 team. When people talk about P5 caliber

BigBrotherUte

1/9/18 3:33pm

I don't think that going G5 is or ever will be the answer. UCF showed that this

I'm not sure BYU is unwilling, but they are unable because of no P5 affiliation.

Nope.

The method of determining a champion is stupid, but it's not to make rich richer

Dissenter

Really? Remind us what the payout is for G5 vs P5 teams that make NY6 or CFP

A committee decides who plays, which inherently invites unfair politicking, among other issues.

We're not Alabama. And a NC is an extreme long shot. But it isn't as bleak
