Maybe the key to BYU's football success isn't getting into a P5 conference

Good write up

Missouri, Houston, Boise, and Stanford are good games next year

Not bad at all, thanks for pointing that out

I think the thing that would help us most would be for individual teams to

I love the rivalry game but it's much better as a prep game for conference play

It's much better AS a conference game. Can you put in a good word?

SingleStrapBackpack

🙂 That would definitely make the rivalry game one of the best in the country.

Why don't you crawl back to the Ute Board.

I love your thinking but do we have any leverage for #1? Doubt it.

It comes down to winning

And if BYU would join a G5 team, they'd have no problem winning 9-10 games, and being ranked at the end of the season.

INDY is like playing 8 bowl games a year

Winning solves all ills. Start winning 10-11 games/year

You forgot P5 will win recruiting battles 99% of the time vs non-P5,

Utes rarely land 4 and 5 star recruits

Level43

6/22/19 6:09pm

Only the elite teams recruit more than a handful of 4-5 star recruits. The key is development. That's where Utah has

This is true.

if you get 3/4 4stars a year you'll potentially have 12 to 16 on your team each

6/22/19 11:57pm

So you don't think we can get a couple 4* a year?

Who we got this year? Gentry and hopefully Richie?

6/23/19 8:59am

I can tell you out of 385 4/5 stars in 2018 only 6 when non-P5.

Notre Dame had 14

Notre Dame is much, much better. And bigger. They're a Top-5 all-time program.

whitey1980

6/23/19 5:05pm

They're not P5.

Level43

6/23/19 5:11pm

They don't belong to a P5 conference, but they were in the playoff last year. Not all Indy teams are equal.

BYU's brand is better than many P5s.

Level43

6/23/19 6:13pm

What does that matter? You're in or out. Unless you're ND with 11 NC's.

Here's the thing for me

On paper INDY, but in every other way the NCAA considers ND P5 and only ND.

It’s not 99% of the time but it does matter

Right, 98.44%

BYU has a distinct advantage with the LDS connection...

People discount this ^. BYU also get Polys looks

BOOHOLE

We are still at a disadvantage

puntersarepeople

6/23/19 8:43am

Disadvantaged to who? What other program has these automatic looks?

BOOHOLE

6/24/19 11:28am

We do get some looks from top tier guys but we miss out on a lot more average pl

puntersarepeople

6/24/19 11:33am

There are a lot of programs that don’t get the looks BYU gets.

BOOHOLE

6/24/19 2:12pm

Boise probably does recruit better than us

puntersarepeople

6/24/19 6:11pm

Unfortunately of late "looks" are all most have amount to. When the big offers have come, they've gone elsewhere.

BYU definitely wins more than 1% of recruiting battles with P5. Happens often.

That's what I'd like to see too. It may be hard for some players to not think

The problem is every BYU schedule has to be negotiated

ups and downs, yes – but it has gotten a lot better overall from 2011 until 2021

BYU will never get into a P5 conference.....

Again with the victim mentality...be better than that.

DocPimp

6/22/19 9:01pm

It’s true that BYU will have a tough time getting in because of politics

puntersarepeople

6/22/19 10:55pm

I don't think very many people would dispute that BYU's affiliation to The Church has affected its ability to join a P5

Playing an OOC P5 game is not the same as conference rivalries and implications

Meh. It's the best option we have. I'll take whatever logic gets us there
