It's a misconception that BYU plays better-than-average P5 teams

They might have bigger names, but BYU's caught a lot of them on down years.

The combined win% of BYU's P5 opponents is very poor (54.6%) compared to the combined win% of the P5 teams other P5 teams have had to play.

54.6% would be the 64th highest among P5 schools, just fractions ahead of Utah and Northwestern.

IS that overall win %, or % when P5 play other P5 only?

Overall win%. See the related thread for how P5's do against other P5s.

11 of BYU's 71 P5 opponents (2000-2018) won at least 75% of their games that year

There's something to be said though, about playing the bigger names

Yes, there is a big disparity in how many games are in Provo, but the simple fact is that BYU fans

Don't know if you've noticed but...BYU is also in the midst of down years.

To add some additional context, how many P5 home/road games have we played?
