a lot more like our team of the last 3 seasons than anything before that.

I'm guessing USU will similar to this season.

My last post: Sad reality. BYU is the 3rd best football program in Utah over

Bye bye, credibility.

Facts are tough

kimdaddy35

You should try using them sometime. Your take is nonsensical.

All-American

12/2/19 2:22pm

What about my take was not based in fact?

kimdaddy35

The ones you ignored.

And yet, Utah State's biggest win the last 3 years is probably over BYU.

Well, you've included an outlier for each team in your calculations

mwcoug

12/2/19 2:00pm

For trends over 3 seasons you can't ignore 1/3 of the data

MikeDitka'sStache

You can if they are outliers

BYUs worst season ever and USUs best season ever just happened to happen in the

If there was only a way to figure out who was better on the field. That would be

BYU over the last 3 years vs Utah, USU: 1-5

MikeDitka'sStache

12/2/19 2:02pm

You know we are 1-2 vs USU over the last 3 years. Right?

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:12pm

You know we beat them 42-14 this year. Right?

Blueto

12/2/19 2:30pm

So we are a worse team than Toledo? Yikes

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:32pm

Only because it proves your point of view. Why not 10 years? Why not 20?

One season does not a program make (2017 for us, 2018 for USU)

I think Utah State has been the better team, but they don't have the better

checoug

12/2/19 2:02pm

um, what? No argument about the direction of BYU/Utah programs at the moment, but

Bob Vance

12/2/19 2:09pm

Over the past 3 years they have been better than BYU

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:17pm

3 years is hardly enough data to identify "program" success. It's enough to chart recent trajectory, and that's it.

Bob Vance

12/2/19 2:20pm

If you say so. 36+ football games from each side seems like a large

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:23pm

Not a single P5 win in three years and USU losses include NMSU, Wyoming

Doogal McCougar

12/2/19 3:01pm

You would have a decent argument if the Sagarin didn't say otherwise

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 3:03pm

It's how BYU established itself in rankings and prestige in pre-independence...

Doogal McCougar

12/2/19 3:11pm

We had one of our worst years in program history, they had their best

Doogal McCougar

12/2/19 2:25pm

Oh, by the way they have a much better coach than BYU does

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:21pm

don't know about that. prior history success, sure. Gary has not exactly got a hotly burning trajectory right now

Bob Vance

12/2/19 2:27pm

Remember when we beat them exactly 1 month ago? What was the score?

DieHarder

12/2/19 2:11pm

As I said, over the past 3 football seasons they have been the better team

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:19pm

Your post makes it sound like you’re saying we’re the 3rd best program, not the 3rd best program over the past 3 years

DieHarder

12/2/19 2:24pm

Good edit. Much better post

DieHarder

12/2/19 3:01pm

Thanks, it more accurately reflects my intent

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 3:05pm

Utah State is a program that is exactly the function of whatever HC they have. They are like aluminum foil. If there

Bob Vance

And yet despite the fact you gave, they have outperformed BYU and a coach

12/2/19 2:29pm

Both programs are going into heavy rebuilds in 2020

donnerstag

12/2/19 2:30pm

College football programs don't rebuild for 3 years

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:38pm

Utah State was 6-7, 3-9, and 6-7 prior to last season at 11-2

donnerstag

12/2/19 2:54pm

Yes, USU used to be a horrible program

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 3:00pm

Except that right before USU's 3 year fall they went 11-2, 9-5, 10-4

Your problem is that you only see a successful year in terms of wins/losses on

Virginia was 5-7 the 2nd year prior to Bronco taking over

12/2/19 3:49pm

I was on their boards after that season and they were pretty happy

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 5:40pm

Do 4 or 5 years. USU has a nice high and BYU has a nice low tucked into there

I think as long as our current regime is coaching we are more likely to

kimdaddy35

12/2/19 2:35pm

But it also conveniently ignores a change in regime with USU

Gary Andersen is a much more highly regarded coach than Kalani
