Boise St means. I don't know any college football fans here who aren't more impressed with a win vs Boise than a win vs, say, Rutgers or Purdue or Maryland or Northwestern. Or even the likes of Nebraska or Tennessee these days.

2020 is on paper the toughest schedule I’ve ever seen for BYU. You could argue a 12-0 record would put BYU in

If BYU were to go 12-0 against teams that looked good preseason, I’d guarantee

So ahhhh true

I would

I fear Holmoe may schedule himself out of a job

macdizzle

4/16/18 8:02pm

And the coaches too.

mudpupper

Better than scheduling BYU into Division Z.

5 P5 teams.

Regal Ute

4/16/18 8:14pm

True. Although @Boise St is a tougher game than most P5, most years. But you’re

Plus Boise, SDSU, and Houston.

che flaco

4/16/18 8:36pm

Actually 6

Coug-Ida

4/16/18 9:46pm

So we only need 2 more P5 teams to be on par with every other P5 team that year.

TeeKaa

4/16/18 10:17pm

Yes, as long as they’re at home

Coug-Ida

4/16/18 10:23pm

Boise St counts too, they’re better than most P5.

chilango

4/16/18 10:35pm

But they don't count as P5.

RSL

4/16/18 11:14pm

Who cares? A win at Boise means more than a win over most P5 teams. It just does

chilango

4/16/18 11:22pm

The P5 world cares. It just does...

Nope, BSU is often ranked... it is about beating ranked teams...

Pretorian

Assuming they're a very good team. And there's no guarantee of that.

AZcougLawyer

4/17/18 11:46am

Of course, but that's true of every team.

chilango

4/17/18 12:02pm

True for every G5 team. Not true for P5 teams. They remain P5 teams.

AZcougLawyer

4/17/18 12:07pm

Yes, but it means nothing to beat a crappy P5 team. It's meaningless.

chilango

4/17/18 12:18pm

Shut it already. Utah got LUCKY with they're built in P5 schedule..

SaintGeorgeYFan

Where do you come up with toughest schedule ever from?

SoValleyCOUG

4/16/18 8:37pm

Um, I think you missed a season. Mich. St went 10-3 and returns like 20 starters

chilango

4/16/18 8:41pm

Yep, MSU had one down year. Outside of that they're

Lip Gallagher

4/16/18 8:49pm

They were down recently. And in 2020, who knows where anybody will be as far

SoValleyCOUG

4/16/18 11:07pm

Stanford, AZ St, Utah, Mich St, Missouri, Minnesota, Houston, Boise St, & San Diego St. I think that’s a tough schedule

SouthernBlueBlood

4/17/18 6:33am

What does suck is that we only have 4 home games scheduled so far.

chilango

4/16/18 8:43pm

Looks like 5

Coug-Ida

4/16/18 9:58pm

Ah, I didn’t see that.

chilango

4/16/18 10:34pm

7 P5 schools in 2021

We’ve got to correct our H/A schedule from year to year. It’s been coming for

akmewg

4/16/18 8:58pm

My first thought, as well.

BYUHgrad

4/17/18 6:37am

I assume over time it will improve. Of course over time I also anticipate more P5 games so it might never

SouthernBlueBlood

4/17/18 6:46am

You can bet that two of those TBA’s will be the equivelant of Wagner and

Cougtruth

4/16/18 9:13pm

Probably only one...

Coug-Ida

4/16/18 10:02pm

Missouri! Forget about a bowl game.

Cougtruth

4/17/18 1:55pm

A 12-0 BYU goes to whatever Hawaii/Vegas/Boise bowl we're slated for.

Y4LYFE

4/16/18 9:37pm

At minimum we would be invited to a NY6 bowl as an at-large.

che flaco

4/16/18 9:51pm

Only if ranked in the top, what is it top 3?

Y4LYFE

4/17/18 6:29am

NY6 bowl, not necessarily the playoff.

che flaco

4/17/18 9:22am

it changes from year to year. have to at bare minimum be top 12.

cwilke1

4/17/18 9:55am

2020 is the worst possible year for you guys to go 12-0

displacedute

4/17/18 11:30am

This schedule dude????

dizthewiz

4/16/18 10:20pm

Stanford, AZ St, Utah, Mich St, Missouri, Minnesota, Houston, Boise St, & San Diego St. I think that’s a tough schedule

SouthernBlueBlood

4/17/18 6:32am

For some reason all of those didn’t load on the schedule when I clicked it

dizthewiz

4/17/18 8:36am

you know that's the thing about independence and the difference between Notre Dame and BYU is

ChinaFan

4/17/18 4:57am

I hate that you're right about this, but you're spot on.

Adrielle

4/17/18 7:27am

2003-04 were top 15 schedules in the country

donnerstag

4/17/18 7:29am

It’s all about projected schedules. Right now it looks good.

SouthernBlueBlood

4/17/18 7:56am

Agreed 2004. Top three opponents combined record was 36-1...

CougarThug

4/17/18 1:45pm

Whoa, that is a tough schedule.

Benfica1

4/17/18 7:41am

Very unlikely, but possible

CallingDingo

4/17/18 8:27am

2019 is looking pretty dang scary too

thechillcougar

4/17/18 9:03am

At least 2019 has a few more favorable home game with big names.

Lip Gallagher

4/17/18 12:19pm

2019 looks tougher, IMO.

bluefish

12-0 record should be banned from every being stated on CB
