To make an NY6 bowl this year, BYU needs to beat out every other eligible team for the one at-large bid available. In 2016, this spot to went to #8 Wisconsin.

Once again the AAC and MWC thoughts rear their ugly heads. To be relevant BYU

You block him, he blocks him, he jukes one guy and it’s a TD everyplay.

This, ^^^^^^^. All this other talk is about administrators trying to camouflage

We should just start winning then. Seems like an easy fix.

It may be easy, it may be difficult but is the only solution. All other

Problem is they can’t just win unless and until there are major changes. I’m not saying AAC is the answer though

Not exactly accurate. If BYU stays Indy and goes 10-2 what bowl game

FanofBYU

6/26/19 8:00am

There are only playoff games and a couple other games that people care about

Lance71

6/26/19 8:03am

Wrong!!! The AAC champ will probably play a NY6 bowl. BYU

blackshirts

6/26/19 8:10am

At 10-2, there will most likely be a MWC team higher than AAC team and AAC

Lance71

6/26/19 8:22am

Don't think so. Check out the facts from this last bowl year.

FanofBYU

6/26/19 8:49am

That is some bad statistical analysis there.

Lance71

6/26/19 10:06am

Really. You need to get your facts straight. UCF (AAC Champion) played in

FanofBYU

6/26/19 8:27am

My facts are straight. UCF was undefeated going into the bowl game. BYU gets at

Lance71

6/26/19 8:49am

If, if, if. Fact is BYU has not had an undefeated season since going Indy.

Well that was a goof pivot argument. Relevancy was the argument. Is the 2nd

Lance71

6/26/19 9:00am

Based on viewership, absolutely. If BYU goes 11-1 or possibly 10-2

FanofBYU

6/26/19 9:11am

This is where the argument actually is. We need a conference people think 11-1

Lance71

6/26/19 9:23am

Yes. But there is no data to support the notion of

FanofBYU

6/26/19 11:39am

There's no data otherwise either. What does no data prove?

You haven't done your homework.

BYU hasn't had an undefeated season in 35 years

Since ever...

People keep saying 12-0 like it actually happens.

I don't think this is very difficult to predict.

Lance71

6/26/19 9:44am

We have no idea what it would take to make an NY6 game as an Indy

BYU Fan

6/26/19 9:58am

Sorry but you're just being wishful. An 11-1 BYU record does not get

FanofBYU

6/26/19 10:07am

An 11-1 record would get BYU to a NY6 bowl because they would be rated higher

Based on what? Your opinion? The fact is that every year BYU is

Really? So playing ECU, Tulane, and SMU would bolster their SOS at the end?

Over Idaho State, Liberty, and UMass

BYU Fan

Because they are in a conference, they wouldn't be hurt by playing those teams.

BYU cannot recruit to the level it will take to be competitive as an independent

I would love a new conference that took the best 4-6 teams of the AAC and MWC

I haven't really made up my mind about all of this yet but one point that cannot

All of the comments on here really just lead back to one thing - WIN! If BYU

6/26/19 10:02am

You just made their point though...if in the AAC we will win more and look

No, BYU needs to win against quality P5 opponents. That is the key, and stop

6/26/19 11:07am

BYU can't just win against these schedules. You are expecting something that has

DoseOfReality

And something every G5 to the NY6 teams has done too. It's not rocket science.

This really is the only brick left to place on the foundation of Indy. Win

DJROSS

6/26/19 11:57am

Completely agree. Win, and win often. 10-2, some 9-3 with a bowl win for 10, and

BYU I Bleed Blue

That happens if they're playing in a conference. Not if they're an independent.

FanofBYU

6/26/19 12:18pm

Frankly, it only happens if Kalani stays on course and develops an elite OL

Ash

Just win, with an Indy schedule....we've been trying that for a decade now. How's it working?

Nailed it. Neither Indy or G5 are perfect options, but only way forward, or to
