“Could” have. But we didn’t. And we haven’t since being an Indy.

I think it’s ok to project the continuance of that trend, given our upcoming schedules.

Indy is a place of magical, yet always unrealized, potential outcomes.

POLL: Predict the next time we have a "special" season? We're talking 2001, 2006, 2009 type year:

If BYU wins out, they'll be 9-4 but unranked, which basically means

Indy Coug

11/18/19 2:38pm

You could also say defensive stops

BigYfan

11/18/19 2:39pm

Yes, but they had the ball in their hands at the end of the game

Indy Coug

11/18/19 2:40pm

I wanted to put 11+ wins like those three seasons, but our schedule is sooo much

Windward_Coug

11/18/19 2:40pm

Note how we've never had a special season where we lost to Utah.

And won’t until we figure this out.

If we stay healthy AND get Ty'Son back next year I predict 9-3. W/O Ty'Son - 7-5

I think Katoa and Finau have proven plenty good enough. It’s QB that has to

Yohy

11-2 was extremely possible this year

BYU won't finish the season ranked again until they rejoin a conference

BYU Fan

11/18/19 2:42pm

Really? We would be ranked right now without the Toledo and USF losses

2FarGone

11/18/19 2:45pm

We have finished ranked once as an Indy, in our first year, when we were still

Junior Deputy

11/18/19 2:48pm

We could have finished 11-2 with a schedule tougher than any ranked G5

“Could” have. But we didn’t. And we haven’t since being an Indy.

My point is that the unrealized part of it has nothing to do with being Indy

2FarGone

11/18/19 4:22pm

And my point is that at some point you kinda have to start thinking it

Junior Deputy

11/18/19 5:38pm

Maybe it does have to do with Indy

BYU Fan

11/18/19 4:26pm

We weren't ranked in the top 25 in the AP poll, just the coach's poll in 2011

Windward_Coug

11/18/19 2:53pm

True. Just knew if I said we’d never been ranked someone would refer to 2011.

Junior Deputy

11/18/19 3:11pm

That schedule was abysmal.

Backcountry

11/18/19 3:39pm

But they lost those games just like they did in 2016 & 2014 & 2012, etc

BYU Fan

11/18/19 2:50pm

BYU would be top 20 right now without Toledo and USF losses

BigTex

11/18/19 2:45pm

BYU more easily could have lost to USC and Tenn, than won at USF and Toledo.
