Better, because we would also be playing bad P5 teams instead of just the good

to great ones. You think BYU would ever schedule Kansas, Rutgers, Purdue, etc unless they were in a conference with them?

BYU vs P5s compared to other P5 schools vs P5s (since 2000)

Not all P5 teams are created equal. Why do you pretend they are?

Wut? It's not like BYU picks and chooses when their P5 opponents are at their peaks/low points.

Of course not. What's your point?

That BYU is about the 45th best P5 program in the country. Seemed clear to me

What is your point? Who says all P5s are created equal?

Going 10-0 against P5 teams vs going 0-10 against P5 teams can mean

Like I said, BYU can't/doesn't pick and choose weak P5s to play. Really weak P5s won't even play BYU. So...

Looking at win/loss vs P5 and comparing makes no sense.

BYU doesn't play weak slates of P5s. Never has, never will. 19 years seems like a good sample.

Are you arguing that over the course of 19 seasons the average P5 team has

Seems to me BYU plays more Texas type schools than Kansas type schools. I think the ranking would improve if BYU was

Pretty good, considering BYU did that with no P5 benefits

So now 50% of games are at home and refs don't screw us? Sounds good

My thoughts exactly. We'd be playing a range of teams.

BYU would average a 5-7 or 4-8 season, depending on the conference

Indy Coug

Probably average 5-8 wins a season - they'll play good/bad teams H/H

Also, most have been away form LES. Most p5s have H/H.

How many P5 teams are there? 60? I don’t think that stat is all that great?

Pretorian

65. I didn't say it was great.

Indy Coug

10/8/19 2:55pm

I do think BYU has definitely played more upper tier P5s than lower

Pretorian

10/8/19 8:45pm

It’s not, but we do it without any of the benefits of P5. If we were invited to

Money isn't the biggest issue. It's institutional.

Indy Coug

Recruiting as a P-5 member would get noticably better, though. That'll help.

Scheduling of P5 games since 2000 — 26 (H), 37 (A), 12 (N)

Yes, half the neutrals are in the other teams backyard.

Seems about right
