It's not hard when you are talking about pooling the chances of 12 teams and

CB is dumb sometimes. AAC doesnt suck. BYU would not be top 3 in football.

And even if we were, that means we could win championships right away.

What's not to understand? Also less money is better than more money and less TV time is better than more TV time

dont' forget lots more travel is better than less travel.

Cougarclaw

Good point Cougarclaw! And of course, it is hardly worth mentioning, but fewer big games is better than more big games

Apparently not being ranked is better than being ranked

franklyvulgar

Of course how could I forget that the rankings are chock full of AAC teams every year! Spot on

YIsForBrigham

Fact BYU hasn’t finished ranked in ap since being Indy while other g5 teams

franklyvulgar

True. We could definitely be ranked while losing to UMASS and East Carolina if we were just in the AAC.

We’re Closer to that level of recruiting that’s for sure

You’re right. The market of 5 star recruits who would prefer to play Tulane, Temple, Tulsa, SMU, and the rest of

6/25/19 4:23pm

Hate to break it to you but BYU’s recruiting is fairly static

franklyvulgar

Wait. So we’d make less money, travel more, have worse TV times, less access for fans, worse

We’d have a better chance of making a ny6 bowl without having to

So was BYU more successful with wins and rankings before or after Indy

Nobody cares or remembers which G5 team goes to NY6 bowl game.

Wrong. Ask any semi-dedicated CF fan.

I'm "semi-dedicated" and I certainly can't name all of them...

CoachSpeak

6/26/19 10:38am

Do you even remember any of the other NY6 teams? scores?

Iki_Balam

6/26/19 10:42am

Scores? No. Some teams? Sure. Years? Maybe.

CoachSpeak

6/26/19 10:49am

So... the NY6 do matter. Ok, got it.

Iki_Balam

6/26/19 10:51am

They matter to some people...

Without looking it up, who were last year's 4 CFP teams? Answer in 30 seconds

Iki_Balam

You're making my point for me with this argument.

rcbyufan

6/26/19 10:44am

Glad to see you couldn't answear anything about the P5/CFP schools

Iki_Balam

BYU TV times might be ok in the west but they are terrible in the east

Cardmormon

good point! two star recruits trumps three and four star recruits!

Cougarclaw

6/25/19 4:47pm

The assumption that we'd be ranked is super condescending to these conferences

rcbyufan

6/25/19 4:09pm

Bronco went from ranked to not and his win total dropped as Indy

correlation does not mean causation. yes those things happened at the same time

Last year the top 4 AAC teams were better than the PAC12 top 4.
