Maybe recency bias is a real thing. I don't remember Lavell beating 2 "name"

2015 is probably the closest, Nebraska and Boise State.

Yeah but BSU isnt a national name per say, a blue blood.

BYUfan92

9/14/19 9:26pm

True, but they are nationally-recognized and were ranked at the time IIRC

BeardedSpock

9/14/19 9:27pm

They get ranked anytime they do anything remotely good

Yet BSU is consistenly better than most "Nationally-Recognized" teams.

True but I'm talking name programs that get attention..UT and USC have won

BYUfan92

9/14/19 9:32pm

Yep, these are both great wins even though both UT and USC are lousy this year

BeardedSpock

9/14/19 9:35pm

??? What evidence do you have that USC is lousy this year.

Their best win is against Stanford, who got curb-stomped at UCF today.

BeardedSpock

9/14/19 9:59pm

What happens with Stanford doesn't say how good or bad USC is.

Lip Gallagher

I don’t know that USC is lousy

They will win three more at least

Az State suddenly looks like a tough game, too. But they should have no problem

BeardedSpock

9/14/19 10:04pm

They should beat Arizona

9/14/19 10:08pm

2009 would have been the best. Utah and Oregon State aren't

LaVell’s teams didn’t have a lot of back to back games against big names

I had to go all the way back to 1990 when BYU beat two P5 teams back-to-back (Miami & Washington St)

Good research thanks.

But never three? Next week.... record setting time.

kotacoug

Yep. And Washington isn't "down" this year, either, so that would be a big win

BeardedSpock

9/14/19 9:37pm

How many seasons featured a schedule with back to back P5 games?

Greg Kite's 'stache

9/14/19 9:34pm

This year has back to back to back to back P5 games.

The last time we had 4 straight games against "P5" equivalent opponents was

Which should go to show BYU fans that Kalani is doing good things. To go 2-1

We went 2-1 in three straight P5 games last year too.

I'm pretty sure we do finish better than that this year, but I agree. 6-6 should

This team is much more likely to keep it up though

Here's what I see (I'm counting current P5 with the exception of TCU and Utah during MW or WAC days)

Did you leave off the 1980s on purpose?

Michigan and Boston College were back-to-back in 1984-85. We also beat
