that might hurt CB more than football. It is taken for granted that BYU is superior to UU

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

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

Modiolus

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.
