Sagarin has our SOS ranked as...

Wow.

PessimisticCB

10/21/19 9:22am

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

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.

The same guy ranks BYU 69th.

Indy Coug

Nice.

Accurately nice.

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

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

LifelongAP

*He still thinks BYU is roughly an average FBS team

Indy Coug

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

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:

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

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!

Keep telling yourself that...
