beat the teams you should beat. That's where the bulk of the frustration comes in. Both basketball and football have suffered a lot because they cannot consistently beat the teams they SHOULD beat.

Teams versus the Sagarin top 30

current top 30, or top 30 when the game was played?

Current top 30. BYU has played Utah (13) Washington (18) USC (22) and Boise (25)

So the team has talent, execution is lacking or game plan in the losses

Said this from the start...not a talent issue. It's coaching.

Its also a travel and schedule issue

And against teams ranked 90-100 BYU is 0-2. Which I think is just as cool!

This only proves one thing to me.

sounds like a certain head coach deserves a contract extension.

Endocoug

Yes. Toledo's and USF's

BlueFrog

10/22/19 11:46am

Yes. I was joking of course.

Except that BYU is also 2-2 against the bottom 30....

If this holds up, it would be quite an accomplishment.

It's pretty borderline that it will hold up. We'll see.

Indy Coug

10/22/19 12:05pm

Boise would need to win out the rest of the way to stay in the top 30

Our record against the Sagarin top 30 is not the source of angst among fans.

I didn't say it was.

You didn't. I was just adding some context to yours.

Non-P5 teams don’t typically fair well against top schedules

We lost to Toledo and USF. This argument has nothing to do with that

YIsForBrigham

It has everything to do with a beaten up team losing to sub-par competition

dchandle15

There is no statistical correlation between SOS and injuries

YIsForBrigham

10/22/19 5:45pm

But there is a correlation between SOS and winning %

dchandle15

10/22/19 9:57pm

Except that our losses to Toledo and USF were more to do with

ManicBlue

10/22/19 8:58pm

They had nothing to do with losing our first and second best offensive players?

dchandle15

10/22/19 10:02pm

Sure they would have helped but we should have been able to win without them too
