So boiling it down, your problem is that Jarom is more in touch with reality than you are

When I was in 6th grade (1984-ish), I had to memorize the following:

Jarom Jordan wants the BSU model for BYU. I do not like it. Play the best

So have you then thoroughly enjoyed all seasons of Indy?

More than most MWC seasons, yes. And I also think it was the obvious step forwar

Cougar TD

2/17/21 11:00am

There isn't a better option, but to tamper the schedule a bit more. I generally agree with JJs scheduling philosophy.

TheLoneCougar

2/17/21 11:03am

The hard part is how do you lay out the 3-4 P5 games? If they all come early

Cougar TD

2/17/21 11:08am

Start with whichever P5s will play you in October or November. Build from there.

It didn't start like that, and it is not that easy. I am all for not starting

Cougar TD

2/17/21 3:45pm

Yes, but I like the TH mindset of thinking we are P5. If not, we’ll never be one

why play a P5 schedule without P5 recruits? If we win a lot for many years we

Our best option IMO is to first, keep playing as many P5 games as possible. Also

Yes, yes it is way more improbable today.

I don’t think so. It didn’t even cross anyone’s mind to consider it a

gwalker

2/17/21 10:57am

I'm just saying today it is absolutely impossible. You saw what the committee did to BYU, UC, and CCU and then UCF a few

TheLoneCougar

2/17/21 11:05am

The structure then was at least more wide-open to allow it

krindorr

2/17/21 11:19am

I think it's substantially more improbable today, due to the advent of the CFP system.

Indy Coug

2/17/21 11:03am

How many P5s did we play the year we won the Natty?

Junior Deputy

2/17/21 11:20am

Pitt, Baylor, Michigan. Not sure if there were others.

fulano

2/17/21 11:29am

So... three, maybe four. And then we beat the yewt out of a bunch of WAC teams.

maybe you missed the news about 2023 schedule now being filled with just 4 P5

cwilke1

I believe that TH scheduled as many P5s as he could.

Jarom wants wins, TH has to pay the bills.

mudpupper

2/17/21 11:54am

That’s why TH is AD and JJ is a talking head making 5 year old Pitta jokes

thegoodmeister

2/17/21 2:12pm

JJ is good at what he does. Glad BYU has him.

Soy Celeste

2/17/21 2:23pm

JJ is there to represent the voice of the unathletic, beta fanboys who have never competed at a level above rec league.

I think it's about incremental steps

krindorr

and let's be honest 95% of CFB is not at a championship level right now

it's an opinion show, why not let him have his own opinions?

Jarom says the 2020 season proves his theory on scheduling: Essentially

JoeMamaBesser

2/17/21 12:57pm

2020 was an outlier, and BYU only got that credit because P5s wouldn't play them. In other years, that isn't the case.

Turnpike Lane

2/17/21 1:53pm

I agree, this season 's result was crafted more by COVID than BYU's schedule.

Jarom is the "bad cop" in the BYUSN model. He gets paid to be devil's advocate.
