I wouldn't oppose a move to the AAC with Boise and SDSU....
especially if we were able to keep four OOC games against P5 opponents for the next several years.

I was at the game Saturday, and I still really don't like Indy.

Agree. Also, we had two shots at P5 and our arrogance and incompetence killed us

Proof of this?

Well, we aren't in a P5 so I guess that is proof

Right, but it wasn't arrogance or incompetence that kept us out.

Plenty of it. Those who followed it know what happened

We asked for too much when we should have been begging for a spot.

100% False. We didn't. That is all based on anti-BYU speculation.

It is really based upon being unable to emotionally digest and accept
Goatnapper'96

Sure. But BYUs unique place is self-imposed. Ultimately its a choice.

BYU has self imposed limits to its success. Those are not going away.

BYU has the same bowl Tie-ins as they would have in a G5 conference;

Too often people put the blame for what BYU is not

True. But among the remaining options, one is better than the other

Depends on what folks define as "better."
Goatnapper'96
9/17/19 12:31pm
Totally unfounded and arrogant comment. BYU does NOT have access to the NY6.
Klompus

Until BYU has a team that finishes 11-1 it is all pretty much conjecture.

NY6 "access" is a red herring. How often would BYU be the top-ranked G5 champ?
boscatar
9/17/19 12:32pm
Yes, we do. There are 6 NY6 bowls. 3 of them have conference tie ins. 3 do not.

I believe Notre Dame can only take the SEC/B1G slot in the Orange Bowl

I think they can also take an ACC slot if they have at least 2 more wins than

Notre Dame can only go twice in 12 years, *in place of* the SEC or B1G opponent

One thing going for a top-10 BYU in the single at large slot scenario would be -

Even if we get in a P5 conference, do you think we are going to be contending

Winning 6-8 games in a confernce is far more exciting that winning 6-8 as Indy.

That is what I am saying though. In a P5, you wouldn't have the "fun" of a

I think Indy's a good guy. His alter ego, Sea Chicken, on the other hand...

It's better than the MWC, not as good as the Big 12. I think most of us here

That sucks. I'm excited about what this team can do from here. I don't recall

I would MUCH rather be in the AAC than the MWC. I watch a lot of AAC football,

BYU would contend, but by no means be the annual NY6 front-runner

I agree with this. So maybe one time since 2014 making the CCG.

The AAC is losing perennial cellar-dweller UConn. So, the bottom isn't as bad

Houston is currently #8 in the AAC power rankings... They should just quit now.

I'd rather play and beat Tennessee and USC than not.

We can still beat UW, UT, and USC as a MWC member

As an MWC or AAC member, we would play fewer than half of the fun opponents

Sure. We would play 0-3 fewer P5s than we currebtly do. We would exchange that
