What's hilarious about this thread is the reaction to what is reality.

It's cute you're all superfans. But BYU has not even been better than 0.39 against winning P5 teams. We're atrocious against USU, BSU and the U.

Yet somehow it's going to be different now.

I wish I was as delusional as you all are

Tom needs to pivot on the schedule ASAP.

Sure. Maybe a Big Sky affiliation?

UW played in the Rose Bowl last year and won the PAC12

It’s almost a P5 schedule. I like it.

Tom needs to schedule more P5 lightweights. Wake Forest, Oregon State, Kansas,

Richbyu

I'd like this too. If we're going to have teams of that middling caliber, might as well get to call them "P5" teams.

mvtoro

Jul 11, 5:48pm

Are you saying Utah is a "high level" P5 team?

BigUte

Jul 11, 5:55pm

If you’re being honest, they’ve not really been spectacular nationally.

Dr MoBYU

Jul 11, 5:59pm

Depends where you define middle tier

Blue Cat

Jul 11, 6:10pm

I think top tier teams are ones that win conference championships and compete for the playoff every once in a while.

mvtoro

Jul 11, 6:22pm

Sure. They're not in the very top tier, but they play good football and would be a quality win in any year. I mean to

We need more P5 on our schedule, not less. This should be obvious.

Just for fun I looked up Tennessee’s 2020 schedule

Gil Buckman

Tennessee also recruits P5 athletes and has P5 money, so...

CommodoreCoug

So we should ask for our MWC spot back?

Beggars can't be chosers, I guess. Take what we can get. Just win.

If BYU goes 3-9 in any of these years, Tom should be fired (not Kalani).

Well maybe we should drop to DII. We’d win a ton of games there...

Let’s assume I’m a super fan. What specifically is my delusion?

Refugee

Jul 11, 11:28pm

We can't routinely play P5 teams and win.

You gave me your opinion, not what I’m delusional about.

There are many P5’s out there that have tougher schedules but are no better than us.

This is exactly the schedule we have been asking for the past 10 years. If
