But that still would leave us out of the CFP. It might not even get us to a NY6.
How many perfect seasons do you need before you realize the exclusive club will never ever let us in?

Up until today I believed that Independence was a viable path. No longer.

While that may be up for some debate, our indy schedule wasn't the issue this

If byu played its original schedule and went 11-1 they would play

I don’t believe you

Nope. The bias against BYU is real

I don't know. Would they have any top 25 wins? MSU isn't great, Minn is bad, ASU

Yet those are the teams that top 10 programs win games against

Still don’t think they would let 2 non-P5 teams in we would still be left out

How can you still think this? What more proof do you need? We have no friends,
Junior Deputy

Agree with this - having friends/allies/conf going to bat matters.

Just think of Hair. There, better?

I was thinking American, is their president a cartoony villain as well?

Not sure, but I still think Indy is better.

Nothing outside of P5 is viable. P5>Indy>G5

The G5 sympathy ticket doesn’t apply to BYU and you know it
ldssdl
11/24/20 8:48pm
That's because they already get an auto-bid, so it couldn't matter less what
bluescholar
11/24/20 8:49pm
Thats the whole point. Auto bid.
zerigke
11/24/20 8:54pm
Who gives a crap about the auto-bid? Let's join a G5 so we can get an auto-bid
bluescholar
11/24/20 8:58pm
And play a schedule like this year’s every year? No thanks.
valcorger
11/24/20 8:59pm
Not true..American is the best G5. Take Boise and SDSU and
SaintGeorgeYFan
11/25/20 12:17am
Even if G5 meant only meant NY6 every 20 yrs, bowls would be better
reddead
11/24/20 11:41pm
It doesn't need to be every 20 years for BYU
SaintGeorgeYFan
11/25/20 12:15am
You’re right, they have an AUTO BID to the only thing that anyone outside the P5
Junior Deputy
11/24/20 9:01pm
Cool, let's play a crap schedule every year, so we can get an auto-bid once

This is going to blow your mind, but the average Indy schedule we’ve played isnt
Junior Deputy
11/24/20 9:23pm
Sos in college football is maybe the worst, most misleading metric in existence.
bluescholar
11/24/20 9:24pm
Ah yes, so now it’s the metric that’s flawed... definitely not your narrative.
Junior Deputy
11/24/20 9:26pm
Check my posting history. I have always bagged on sos, it's a joke of a metric.

11/24/20 9:46pm
You're simply wrong and a poor armchair coach

The CFB world has completely transformed in the last ten years, especially

Well you better hope for a pandemic every year then because it's the only reason Cincy is there.

Eventually people will come around, I hope. But man, CB has been stubborn on

11/24/20 9:14pm
CFB has changed. Downgrading to a G5 would be a death sentence for BYU.

We just played the worst schedule in school history and the excitement has never

11/24/20 9:26pm
You act as if being in the MWC was holding us back... why?
Iki_Balam
11/24/20 10:32pm
And Boise State and UCF and UNI ....we are getting passed
SaintGeorgeYFan
11/25/20 12:14am
And that’s why Holmoe schedules so many P5s every year
ldssdl
11/24/20 8:48pm
The OP suggests BYU's 2020 schedule is the norm.

Independence is great in a normal year. If we were undefeated right now with our
brazilcoug
11/24/20 8:46pm
Our week schedule was created by those who profit from it. P5 teams abandon us
Archaea
11/24/20 8:49pm
Independence in a “normal” year is .500 give or take 1-2 wins above
cougfanz
11/24/20 8:51pm
If we were in the MWC, we are aren't even in the conversation
The Chief
11/24/20 8:47pm
And would only have played 2 or 3 games so far.
valcorger
11/24/20 8:48pm
Yep, think how much fun we have had watching these games thanks to Indy
The Chief
11/24/20 8:50pm
BYU's schedule was ruined in 2020
Belboz
11/24/20 8:48pm
G5 imo- can get to a ny6 which is the ceiling for the program
cougfanz
11/24/20 8:48pm
AAC

11/24/20 8:48pm
This, force the P5s to recognize a major power outside their club.
Iki_Balam
11/24/20 10:27pm
Only path is joining with ND... and that is a major long shot.
Samurai Jack
11/24/20 10:45pm
AAC or ACC?
SaintGeorgeYFan
11/25/20 12:22am
Like others have said, independence had nothing to do with our schedule this
Nuke
11/24/20 8:49pm
But that still would leave us out of the CFP. It might not even get us to a NY6.
Iki_Balam
11/24/20 10:28pm
Independence is fine, just not this year.
Coach's Dad
11/24/20 8:49pm
I'd rather play 4-6 P5 every year and prove we are in their class
SayMyName
11/24/20 8:50pm
6-8 is still the goal
LiveCoug
11/24/20 8:52pm
AAC football only and all other sports in the WCC we’d have a chance at a G5NY6
franklyvulgar
11/24/20 8:53pm
AAC baby. NY6 is our program's ceiling anyways. Get the G5 autobid.

Lame. Aim for a championship. At least deserve it, even if you're denied.
AZcougLawyer

BYU has no possible shot to compete for an NC
WP17
11/24/20 9:02pm
You could still shoot for it but an undefeated AAC is much more realistic than
franklyvulgar
11/24/20 9:03pm
While we’re dreaming, why not aim for a Super Bowl?
Junior Deputy
11/24/20 9:24pm
Your logic hurts. We're suppose to claim NCs like the team up north?
Iki_Balam
11/24/20 10:23pm
No. Play the best teams. Beat them. Objectively deserve to be in the playoff
AZcougLawyer
11/24/20 11:58pm
That will not happen on a consistent basis. Even elite P5 teams struggle
Iki_Balam
11/25/20 12:00am
We’re screwed either way I guess.
sgriff
11/24/20 8:55pm
Either we embrace Indy and forget about NY6/CFP or game the system like BSU
Iki_Balam

This is 100 percent the wrong takeaway.

The fix seems to have been in. C19 has cost P5's as half a $B in gate...

Confused why you thought committee was honorable
Mitty
11/25/20 2:09pm
You think NY6 payouts sans fans will total $50M?
BYU'01
11/25/20 5:07pm
Who knows. Maybe just start a new playoff with the G5 and indys?
Mitty
11/25/20 2:10pm
This idea might have merit.
Orem58thBall
11/25/20 4:11pm
Nothing to lose. We're not getting in the club as things stand now.
Mitty
11/25/20 8:15pm
If that happens, hopefully BYU is as far away from that as possible
