I misread the neutral part. We couldn't get enough fans to Phoenix v. Vandy

to justify the game.

We have lots of fans in Arizona and in within driving distance in Nevada, SoCal, and Utah. BYU sold about 30K out of 50K tickets to the BYU v. Arizona game...but that was against a local team.

We would need to play a more attractive opponent in Phoenix to justify the game...in order to get at least 30K BYU fans and at least 10K fans from the other school. I don't think that would happen against Vanderbilt...but I could be wrong

Totally Vandy. Winnable game and we get three games with them. First one at home. Easy choice.

Least exciting opponent of those available. I think I would take SC if given

Of course it isn't that exciting. SC would be my second choice. Alabama my last choice. That would be a bloodbath.

Vandy would be 100% more likely. USC only travels west of the Mississippi to

BYU v. Vandy in Vegas isn't bad. BYU needs more games in Las Vegas.

This scenario was Phoenix, which is a long ways from SLC/Provo.

If you win, so what, Vandy is garbage. BYU beat Tennessee, in Knoxville. Give

Beating legitimate P5 programs is the best way we can climb out of the G5

6/1/20 1:23pm

While beating legit P5 programs is important, "record vs. P5" is a real stat.

BYU needs home games. H/H is the way to go. N or A are easy to schedule.

Those of you that selected Vandy have never been to that garbage stadium. For
