Sagarin has our SOS ranked as...

canofpicante

Wow.

PessimisticCB

10/21/19 9:22am

And not to lose to a team that got beat by Ball State 52-14...BALL STATE...

TheLoneCougar

10/21/19 9:22am

NOT fat it means a lot, but Toledo was without their starting qb

BYU '80

10/21/19 11:49am

Toledo beat us on the ground. It means nothing.

TailgateU

10/21/19 11:50am

I agree we are a better team than our record indicates

cougarmanguy

10/21/19 9:22am

Wish we were 5-2 with that SOS.....

Santos L. Halper

10/21/19 9:24am

5-2 with that schedule would have ranked between 25 and 20 imo

acougfan

10/21/19 9:26am

Definitely would be near the cusp. That's frustrating.

BluebloodOR

10/21/19 11:01am

The same guy ranks BYU 69th.

Indy Coug

10/21/19 9:24am

Nice.

Accurately nice.

One of the greatest numbers of all time. Of all time.

Scott_Tenorman

10/21/19 11:34am

In other words: he recognizes the schedule is hard, but still thinks we suck

LifelongAP

10/21/19 12:59pm

*He still thinks BYU is roughly an average FBS team

Indy Coug

10/21/19 1:01pm

injury excuses are weak. ZW played 99.999% of the game vs Toledo. Our #2 QB

bluebrotha

10/21/19 9:24am

BYU had a 64% chance of beating one of the worst teams in the FBS. You make it sound like it was 95%

Indy Coug

10/21/19 9:27am

That stat alone speaks volumes.

ataylor

10/21/19 9:29am

Well, it speaks volumes about fan expectations versus reality

Indy Coug

10/21/19 9:30am

Also speaks volumes about both perception and reality of BYU football in 2019.

ataylor

10/21/19 9:30am

BYU also had less than a 50% chance of beating Toledo, per FPI

Indy Coug

10/21/19 9:29am

I have a feeling if we were scheduled to play them next week, the percentage

The Dude Abides

10/21/19 9:34am

I agree

cougarmanguy

10/21/19 9:38am

That and a win over BSU with the personnel we had.

ataylor

10/21/19 9:28am

I said consistent execution too. The losses are maddening to be sure

canofpicante

10/21/19 9:33am

QB isn't the only position that has been affected by injuries.

SoCalCoug

10/21/19 9:47am

It was the defense

sammycoug

10/21/19 10:40am

Coaching and preparation are truly what moves that needle.

Bovine University

10/21/19 11:18am

I think the early start time was a big factor in the Toledo loss.

autonomous

10/21/19 12:30pm

We are exactly the team our record indicates.

Sea Chicken

10/21/19 9:25am

Maybe. But we'd have the same team and a better record if our coaches hadn't gone to a three man front to let two bad

No touching

10/21/19 9:30am

Disagree. Here’s why:

canofpicante

10/21/19 9:38am

and the record reflects that

Sea Chicken

10/21/19 9:48am

Unless you go undefeated in a weak conference or winless in a tough one

ryebrye

10/21/19 11:56am

The reason people are upset is the losses to bad teams.

Baron

10/21/19 9:28am

If we had gone 10-2 or we go 6-6, would our bowl location be different?

BYU71

10/21/19 9:28am

Probably not

PessimisticCB

10/21/19 9:39am

ESPN has the power to flex us into other Bowl Games they own, and they probably

MikeDitka'sStache

10/21/19 9:39am

Doubt it. BYU would have to be ranked pretty high to move the needle.

a priori

10/21/19 9:42am

That is a plus I didn't know about.

BYU71

10/21/19 9:43am

No, but it affects recruiting.

Coaches need to feel the sense of urgency and then have that permeate down to...

icecougar

10/21/19 10:45am

And a kicker.

TailgateU

10/21/19 11:14am

I. Don’t. Care.

StalwartBraveTrue

10/21/19 11:44am

Surprised considering Toledo and USF aren’t that strong

Cougarpride

10/21/19 11:54am

Sad that 2 of our losses are the worst 2 teams on our schedule so far 🙁

BYUFootballisBack

10/21/19 12:27pm

Wow and you don't see another team with 2 wins vs Top 30 until Baylor at #16!

andrewg3

10/21/19 1:15pm

Keep telling yourself that...
