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

5/25/19 10:53pm

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

ataylor

5/25/19 11:45pm

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.

Blue Cat

Being 10-2 means we won 10 meaningful games

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

BrutustheBrash

5/26/19 12:10am

Except I wasn’t complaining.

Blue Cat

5/26/19 12:18am

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

5/26/19 8:51am

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

BlueBlitzkrieg

5/26/19 11:00am

Meant for OP

BlueBlitzkrieg

5/26/19 11:01am

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

5/25/19 11:59pm

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

5/26/19 5:06am

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

Idk how the CFP poll responds to BYU

No hesitation from me

schofim

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

ByuImaginesDragons

Also you don’t live here and have to face Utah fans every day. I want to shut

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

ByuImaginesDragons

5/26/19 2:42am

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

Wow some of you have reverse little brother complex. This is truly ridiculous.

BeefNoodleSoup

5/26/19 5:33am

I was going to choose option #1, but since #2 is more likely I chose reality

BeardedSpock

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

5/27/19 8:24am

Keep telling yourself it does.

Lip Gallagher

10-2

Sale

5/26/19 10:42am

&-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

5/26/19 1:19pm

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

I don’t place a season’s success based on one game!
