a priori All-American

While this analysis is interesting, I think it misses the mark.

The real question is whether or not the gap is staying consistent across the distribution of expenditures.

I bet that the winning percentage against the bottom quartile has increased over time and the winning percentage against the top quartile has declined over time. I don't know what the relation looks like in the middle quartiles.

Here's some data through 2013.

How non-P5s have done vs P5s over the decades:

If someone has access to nearly 5 decades of expenditures by school, they can knock themselves out

And that's another reason why returning to the MWC is death.

Would be interesting to see if those numbers changed

That certainly could be part of the picture, but BYU has the best P5 record since 1972

Do you know where BYU's winning pct falls for all schools including P5 schools?

Stayed at 0.191 since about the start of the BCS era. That is interesting.

I'd be curious to see how many have been played at the P5 stadiums.

I'd like to see Home/Road/Neutral splits

For BYU here are the numbers

Check out Boise State's stretch from '06-'15

I think most/all of their neutral games are bowl games, so it's 40/60 home/road

Indy Coug

They've played a few "not so neutral" neutral site games (UGA, VaTech, etc.)

CaliWG

BYU has played roughly 1/3rd of their P5 games at home over the decades

Indy Coug

8/19/19 9:35am

What has killed BYU's record is the past decade of Utah games
