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

The playoffs that year are Fiesta and Peach, so your only shot is the Cotton Bowl (Rose, Sugar, and Orange don't take at-large teams). One of those spots goes to the G5 auto-bid, so you'd have to be ahead of every single at-large team. That's a tall order. Conceivably you might have to be as high as #5, but probably #8 or #9 will be enough.

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

4/16/18 7:48pm

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.

Better than scheduling BYU into Division Z.

4/17/18 11:45am

5 P5 teams.

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

Plus Boise, SDSU, and Houston.

Actually 6

Coug-Ida

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...

I live in Big Ten territory, and the fans out here understand what a win at

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

Pretorian

4/17/18 12:27pm

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

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.

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..

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

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

7 P5 schools in 2021

My first thought, as well.

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

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

Cougtruth

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.

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

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

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

Adrielle

2003-04 were top 15 schedules in the country

donnerstag

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

Whoa, that is a tough schedule.

Very unlikely, but possible

CallingDingo

2019 is looking pretty dang scary too

4/17/18 9:03am

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

4/17/18 12:19pm

2019 looks tougher, IMO.

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