This years schedule/winning/rankings has made me change my mind on scheduling.

So...basically, how we scheduled in 2011, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019

This year can’t be the model. We won’t get respect in normal years with this

DirtyWater

10/18/20 11:34pm

Winning gets us respect.

Blue Cat

10/18/20 11:52pm

Winning with this kind of schedule in a non Covid 19 year gets us disrespect for

gwalker

Nobody is advocating for a schedule without P5s

Blue Cat

10/19/20 12:05am

We need a SOS equivalent to most P5s.

DirtyWater

10/19/20 12:12am

No we don't. Why would we?

Again, this year is different. We are getting the benefit of the doubt because

I want us to be who we have always been, a big fish in a small pond. We have more clout than BSU because of our history

LiveCoug

10/19/20 8:54am

In your mind maybe but previous, recent seasons don't agree. G5 teams get ranked, play in NY6 games and get louds of

TheLoneCougar

10/19/20 9:31am

Just to be clear, the ultimate goal is P5. I just think the path to getting there isn't going 7-5 every year.

TheLoneCougar

10/19/20 10:00am

6-8 P5s per season should be the goal

LiveCoug

10/19/20 5:55am

In 2017, we only played 4 P5 teams. We lost 5 games to G5 teams + UMass.

rcbyufan

10/18/20 11:58pm

That same team that couldn't get the ball across midfield against LSU

It’s not crappy scheduling it’s strategic scheduling

Blue Cat

10/19/20 1:24am

In other words, crappy scheduling. No. 6-8 P5s, including low level P5

LiveCoug

10/19/20 7:06am

You say "why settle for 9-4 or 8-5 when the same caliber of team could

wjman11

This is the equivalent of being in a G5 conference without the affiliation.

Retrospective data isn’t helpful here.

I've not seen much drop off except in experience. BYU has the athletes.

LEDSFW

Boise State lives on this model. If we sustain our rankings (11/12) we’ll ...

Get that corn out of my face! I wanna WIN!

DirtyWater

See also UCF, Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati, etc.

We aren't Liberty or New Mexico State. We're getting respect because we TRIED to

SLIVER

10/19/20 1:10am

Let’s not worry about what happens if we go undefeated.

Blue Cat

10/19/20 1:38am

Exactly. They’re factoring in our intent.

Dr MoBYU

10/19/20 2:00am

FWIW, Liberty is now #31 and #33 in the polls with a 5-0 record

Doogal McCougar

10/19/20 9:29am

Right. The goal for Co Carolina should be to get ranked. That's not our goal.

SLIVER

10/19/20 9:55am

In line with Sliver, rankings this year are a one off

CoastalCoug

10/19/20 12:12pm

Agree 100%.. embrace it. BYU can’t compete with how they were scheduling

cougfanz

10/19/20 5:08am

Here's a perfect schedule (or something close to it)

wiscougarfan

10/19/20 7:26am

So, a p5 schedule.

StalwartBraveTrue

10/19/20 8:28am

No, a good schedule. Half P5, Half G5.

wiscougarfan

10/19/20 9:50am

we'll get fewer top recruits with a worse schedule

HarlemCoug

10/19/20 7:50am

We could give ourselves a chance to be in the mix with about 4 P5’s,

Refugee

10/19/20 8:00am

More than anything it’s the timing of the p5s. This goes to show that the p5

COACHdrn

10/19/20 8:22am

I like the games more than I like a ranking so I'm not with you on this one.

Belboz

10/19/20 8:54am

This year is an outlier. Not the norm. Let's remember that.

Turnpike Lane

10/19/20 9:00am

Would ESPN continue to pony up $$$ if BYU were to schedule like this season?

UMWolverine

10/19/20 9:09am

Nope

BYUButters

10/19/20 2:34pm

Why do many think the "weaker" P5's would want BYU OOC? Don't they want wins?

UMWolverine

10/19/20 9:12am

If Indy is the chosen course, keep scheduling like this year and next

UMWolverine

10/19/20 9:13am

Nah....once we are we get to the end of the year at 10-0 they reject us anyway.

Two Words: Notre Dame (SOS = 97th this year)

Happy As Larry

10/19/20 11:34am

Man, the 2-3 P5 mentality really sucks.

LiveCoug

10/19/20 11:45am

So you prefer the mediocrity of being ignored? Fair enough.

Happy As Larry

10/19/20 1:55pm

Yes, LiveCoug would rather play 6-8 P5s and be .500 with no national exposure, attention, or accolades. Getting lost in
