It's a fair point about 2017, otherwise you're pointing to 2 seasons

It’s a fair point overall. The numbers don’t lie.

Except they lost to bowling green, Toledo might be lucky to go bowling

They lost to a rival, on the road, with their QB knocked out.

outside of Utah State, what bad teams did the 2010 team lose to?

Mr Bassman

so Sagarin is a bad indicator of whether a team is good?

My point is there were no bad losses in 2016

I’d put USf and Toledo in the easy team category maybe Tennessee as well

Only after the season, we'll know if those were bad losses

Toledo is always a bad loss

I'm wrong, I was thinking Tulsa. Have we played Toledo before?

Any of the "tool" schools is a bad loss. Toledo, tulane, tulsa...

Self imposed limitations & the increased arms race of College football in which BYU isnt willing to keep up.

We thought we had a power program, but really we had an all-time coach who caught fire for about 15 years (77-91)..
