It's about the names, name recognition, the geschtalt or whatever that people get when they hear the name of the opponent. Not a single name on BYU's roster matches the "name" cachet of playing Penn State, yet, 0-5 Penn State is still a much bigger victory than any name on BYU schedule.

It's all about perception bias which was determined years ago.

BYU's only chance is to follow up this year with another year but next year beating up on all the p5 teams too.

This year is over and ESPN commentators will stop banging the drum next week and just move on to other topics.
