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

rcbyufan

10/18/20 11:33pm

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

10/18/20 11:58pm

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?

TheLoneCougar

10/19/20 8:01am

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

LiveCoug

10/19/20 8:16am

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

TheLoneCougar

10/19/20 8:21am

Things have changed. P5 G5 gap is going to get bigger. It's incredibly short

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

wjman11

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

10/19/20 8:43am

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

Retrospective data isn’t helpful here.

signed, Boise State

ChurroNieves

10/19/20 11:38am

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

LEDSFW

10/18/20 11:37pm

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

BluesBrother

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

DirtyWater

10/19/20 12:15am

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

Doogal McCougar

10/19/20 9:24am

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

StalwartBraveTrue

10/19/20 8:19am

Paaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnzzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyy.

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.

Beetdiggercoug

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
