Please provide the names of those boosters. Frankly, who cares what J. Buck

thinks. He has been down on the program for years! If you agree with Jarom’s point of view, you need to switch your team support to a Weber or SUU. They schedule more along the lines you support.

History has shown us that BYU has always strived to drive the program to the highest level of national recognition. You don’t achieve that playing the sisters of the poor.

Good thing coaches on the ‘84 team didn’t have the same mindset as you and you buddy Jarom!

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

2/17/21 11:03am

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

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

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

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

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

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

fulano

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

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

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

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

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.

2/17/21 1:53pm

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