I want the scheduling efficient frontier

The maximum return at the lowest risk. Knowing our history that means:

Playing 2-3 P5s each year with 1 of those being Utah. The rest all G5s.

That is a plenty challenging schedule while still allowing for double digit win seasons.

When was the last time BYU ended a season wishing they had been tested more?

BYU Fan

'96 and '01 come to mind. Of course, the team

Didn’t Doman break ribs and Staley get his leg broke in the game before Hawaii?

Staley got hurt in the Mississippi State game. I think Doman did too.

Right, I think that probably took more wind out of their sails than anything el.

I don't need BYU to have played Miami or Washington and risk losing that title

BYU Fan

It certainly needed Pitt to finish a lot better than 3-7-1

Indy Coug

BYU probably wasn't the best team in the country that year

BYU Fan

Probably 2006. They took a few weeks to find traction and then mostly dominated.

Spoiler about my personal answer

I got so tired of hearing my son talk about the P5 schedules being so much

We did prove it at the end of the year... we beat a pretty good K-State team that was ranked 14th in the country...

Coug

6/26/19 12:10pm

But we didn't get a chance to be in an Alliance Bowl. We proved we were #5.

You know what's funny about that season...

Coug

Wyoming was a victim of not enough bowls and a small fanbase.

Jeffacka

6/26/19 12:43pm

We'll be the victim of having no agreement at all cause we choose to go at it alone

Coug

6/26/19 12:46pm

That won't happen.

Jeffacka

6/26/19 12:56pm

It will... cause the Highest G5 team gets the bid first... we don't have any agreement...

Coug

6/26/19 1:00pm

I guess I should have been more clear.

Jeffacka

6/26/19 1:03pm

They did prove themselves by failing to beat a good Washington team

BYU's institutional restrictions + revenue levels aren't enough to be consistently competitive against

Indy Coug

6/26/19 12:06pm

Weaker or more to our level of play teams?

Coug

6/26/19 12:08pm

Last year wasn't the kind of year that left us wondering. And it also wasn't any

gwalker

6/26/19 12:09pm

Every year has proven that though...

Coug

6/26/19 12:16pm

I don’t think we do know our place...majority think we’re P5 and deserve a P5 invitation. Based on many other schools in

Texas Hammer

6/26/19 12:36pm

Every time I hear about why we should be P5...

Coug

6/26/19 12:43pm

BYU competed very well in the late 2000's along with Utah and TCU

BYU Fan

6/26/19 12:57pm

You can't just minus the undefeated seasons and call it even...

Coug

6/26/19 1:03pm

My point was just that BYU was competing

BYU Fan

6/26/19 1:14pm

We were... we had the BIGXII needing a school...

I'm OK with us having tried out a more challenging schedule but now that we've seen the results

Indy Coug

It's the Boise St model. Has worked great for them.

yakkamole

Option A is a proven model that we've used in the past as well as other solid G5

kolob32

6/26/19 12:31pm

I’m for a stronger schedule, just not convinced our schedule would be vastly

Josef K

6/26/19 12:43pm

I'm for option A as long as it includes staying Indy.

The problem with you poll is you can have the same SOS or > in the AAC.

I said B at the beginning of independence knowing it would be hard to swallow
