Who cares about those rankings? If you’re not top 10 what difference does it make?

The rankings that matter. Agreed.

I think 12 is a good ranking. Win the bowl game and maybe finish top 10? Not too shabby

I wouldn’t be sad to fall into the 15-25 range but a little disappointed

As long as they don’t play a top 20 team they might win.

12/8/19 11:14am

If you don't live in Utah you better bet they make a difference

well if that happens...

How did you feel when your team lost Friday night?

12/8/19 10:49am

No, for reals

12/8/19 10:51am

What’s making BYU fall when applicant GPA/ACT seems to get higher each year?

I suspect PC culture plays a big part

Diversity of applicants - weighted heavier now.

Scoring is changing

So having so many trailer park dwellers enrolling as commuters

Which- read this- is defined by how many pell grants have been received on campus

12/8/19 11:05am

eliminating admission percentages would really help BYU. BYU has a remarkably high acceptance rate.

That's what I'm thinking.

Why would BYU drop? Research becoming a bigger part of the ranking? Because the

That may be changing over time...

Modiolus

12/8/19 11:11am

Meh, that’s only part of the issue

12/8/19 11:12am

For instance, the average gpa of Utah freshmen this year is 3.55

12/8/19 11:19am

Also, still one third of BYU students are from utah

12/8/19 11:23am

Lastly, I’d be worried it BYU was losing top tiered member kids in state to Utah. But there’s no evidence that is

12/8/19 12:09pm

Top tier Utah HS students make up what % of the U student body? 3% 4%?

Had a national presenter talk at my university about gaming these rankings

Scooter

It looks that way. Especially with the recent emphasis on more people admitted

Yiowa

Doubtful - I’m in academia as well. Byu undergrad vs UU is not even close.
