POLL: If you had to pick between BYU finishing 10-2 with a loss to Utah but end ranked between 20-25, or Finish 7-5 with a win over Utah and unranked?

It’s hard, if there wasn’t such a long streak going

cougarfann888

I think a 10-win season despite a loss to Utah would do better for both

ataylor

Sorry but I’m not trading 3 wins for a Utah win. That’s both sad and pathetic

Indy Coug

5/25/19 11:18pm

It’s trading 4 other wins for a win over Utah. Crazy talk.

Very true

You’re definitely not from Utah then.

10-2 being ranked in the 20-25 range means we didn’t win a meaningful game.

Being 10-2 means we won 10 meaningful games

Complaining about beating USC, Tennessee, and Boise State is silly

BrutustheBrash

Except I wasn’t complaining.

Blue Cat

Ok so you’re downplaying it, maybe not complaining

We are in a bad spot if we think beating 3 to 4 win P5s is a big deal.

Blue Cat

5/26/19 12:56am

USC is a blueblood and Tennessee is the next tier

BrutustheBrash

I guess the point is 10-2 gets you much better than ranked 20-25, unless our

In the 10-2 situation does Utah finish ranked higher than us or are they 7-5

Meant for OP

There would be a meaningful win

No it doesn’t.

Going 10-2 with a loss to Utah means BYU goes 2-1 against USC, UW, and Tennessee

ataylor

5/25/19 11:46pm

At least 2-1, rather. Could mean beating all three of those teams and losing to

ataylor

5/25/19 11:47pm

That means 2-1 against Tennessee, USC and Washington. I'll take it

paulb

Good point.

ataylor

5/26/19 12:03am

If BYU is 10-2 we'd better be ranked higher than #20. BYU ain't UCF. Pollsters

UberDeek

5/26/19 12:08am

That was my thought. 10-2 would put us in the 12-15 range. It would take some

dratax

5/26/19 12:16am

We absolutely could be ranked in this range

Blue Cat

5/26/19 12:31am

Well, I'm not a uofu fan, so I don't automatically believe all of our opponents

UberDeek

5/26/19 12:34am

Wow. Strange response. Who mentioned anything about belief?

Blue Cat

5/26/19 12:47am

You pointed out a schedule where we only beat one team with a winning record

UberDeek

5/26/19 1:13am

He's saying that if BYU goes 10-2 and is still only ranked in the 20-25 range,

kos

It's very unlikely. 10-11 win G5 teams finish 20-25 and they have much

I might agree EXCEPT for the fact they’ve beat us 9 straight. That’s embarrassin

Wins over Utah >>>> everything else. Id take 5-7 if we beat Utah

Dissenter

5/26/19 8:01am

This is why all of us local fans care so much about the Utah game.

BountifulCoug5

5/26/19 9:13pm

I just can’t stomach another Utah loss under any circumstance

I've moved on. Would rather have the 10 win season, which against this schedule

such sad results

BlueFrog

Is it though? Beating Utah should be #1 priority over everything

Have to beat Utah and reestablish local dominance.

rad dawg

5/26/19 9:27am

Getting one win in almost a decade doesn't "reestablish" anything.

Lip Gallagher

5/26/19 12:47pm

Definitely helps with recruiting though

BountifulCoug5

5/26/19 9:21pm

Not any more than a 10 win season

puntersarepeople

5/26/19 9:24pm

Definitely? No, not definitely. More like tiny possibility but mostly no.

Lip Gallagher

5/26/19 10:05pm

Lol, ok.

BountifulCoug5

Keep telling yourself it does.

Lip Gallagher

10-2

&-5 and break the streak. Then go undefeated next year.

Florwood

5/26/19 11:49am

Finishing a season ranked will help our program a lot more than one win vs Utah

puntersarepeople

5/26/19 12:21pm

Utes would take the 10 two and lose to BYU. That would mean Rose Bowl.

brejol

5/26/19 1:13pm

And for BYU it would mean the Hawaii bowl

cougarfann888

It would depend on other conferences, and how well Utah does. 10-2 would give
