And you can’t really compare the results of 2012-2016 with 2017-2019 and think they are similar.

2012s finish of 26 is close to 25. Sagarin is a much more objective metric than opinion polls—but if opinion polls are all that matter the other points still stand.

BYU at least had relevant moments and spent time ranked in the top 25 in 2012, 2014, and 2015.

15-16 were decent years. 17-19 has been our worst results in the modern era (average 80 finish).

SOS ‘01-‘04=48.5, ‘05-‘15=64.8, ‘16-‘19=71.5

We have never played a top-half FBS SOS under Kalani yet have way worse results. 12-13 vs G5 teams, consistent losses to bottom 10 teams line #125 Toledo, UMass, ECU etc.

It’s unbelievable how quickly the bar has fallen and crazy how quickly people think it was unavoidable. BYU was and aspired to much more for 45+ years and they’ve always had medicore recruiting rankings.
