to say nothing Northern Illinois would find a way to drop several games against that slate.

With how much crap we got last year for our "weak" schedule, I think going

Hate to say it but we’d still lose 3-4 games.

Not last year

Who can say. 7 point win against UTSA, Sunbelt loss, and uncomfortable games vs

reddead

4/11/21 12:52pm

Yep. We would be lucky to be a 9 or 10 win team.

Bwah ha ha.

Benfica1

4/11/21 2:37pm

Um...pretty much all those teams are better than these P5's listed

RUNBYU1

4/11/21 5:43pm

We lost to CC mainly due to defensive coaching/scheme. To beat all p5s=change it

happyhiker

I'd be ok 9-3 or 8-4 against that schedule.

Purdue and Washington State are the only ones there that give me pause.

Georgia Tech is greatly improved and would be a threat

krindorr

4/12/21 7:58am

They are improving but still in massive personnel turnover which is why

Adwight

4/12/21 3:56pm

I think we'd be favored, but it wouldn't be anywhere near a guaranteed win

So, multiple teams from years ago when everyone was young? Seems relevant

Lip Gallagher

4/11/21 12:53pm

I don't think they played any of those teams last year.

Benfica1

4/11/21 1:36pm

You're right. Most of the teams they played were much, much worse

reddead

4/11/21 2:57pm

...and they beat them.

Benfica1

4/11/21 3:08pm

Nearly all of them. I think things might have been different w/a better schedule

reddead

4/11/21 3:23pm

And yet your comparison was talking about things from 3 seasons ago .

Lip Gallagher

4/11/21 3:34pm

Maybe things would be different. You never know.

Benfica1

4/11/21 3:34pm

I think 9-3 is honestly a good estimate.

GhostRider

4/11/21 12:59pm

Every fan base has one of these guys. Truth: Nah. BYU wins all.

Benfica1

4/11/21 1:35pm

You are forgetting 1st rule of P5 snobbery: when BYU beats a bad P5 team...

cougarmeister

4/11/21 1:42pm

Yep. When BYU beats OU/UT/USC, they're by definition having a "down year"

reddead

4/11/21 3:24pm

I'll gladly take the crap with the wins.

Forzaitalia

4/11/21 1:45pm

This is correct scheduling - At least 8-9 P5 games every year. Just like all P5s

TeeKaa

4/11/21 2:22pm

Well, since we’d have to play most of those teams on the road- it’d be tough. 8 wins would be a good year.

PJMort

4/11/21 3:32pm

If getting talked about weekly, ranked week in and week out and a heisman trophy

franklyvulgar

4/11/21 3:47pm

some of these teams are reloading and will be tough games

mindzeYe

4/11/21 3:57pm

LOL. ok give me your bottom 12 p5 teams.

GhostRider

4/11/21 4:06pm

And you are spot on, I don't follow the coaching changes and recruits of

GhostRider

4/11/21 4:10pm

I’d love to do that — one time only though.

Dr MoBYU

4/11/21 4:31pm

Not if we got 10+ Ws

Pretorian

4/11/21 7:59pm

It'll be harder and harder to schedule P5 bottom feeders going forward.

LeftOfNormal

4/11/21 4:49pm

Vanderbilt has that super woman kicking, so that'd be a L

DMVCougar

4/11/21 6:53pm

I don't know. Could BYU adjust to her perfectly-executed pooch kickoffs?

reddead

4/12/21 9:07am

And that schedule is much more difficult than what BYU played last year. BYU

Fargo

4/11/21 11:04pm

The problem is you cannot predict which years they are actually bottom

Ash

4/12/21 6:35am

If they pundits hated the weak schedule, why was BYU ranked so high? BYU will be

DoseOfReality

4/12/21 8:53am

In any normal year if BYU made that same schedule on their own and went

GhostRider

4/12/21 10:44am

Disagree BYU is a big enough name still if they rack up the wins they’ll get the

franklyvulgar

4/13/21 12:11am

8-4

CrimsonCardinal

4/12/21 9:14am

Name the losses.

Benfica1

4/12/21 9:32am

Vanderbilt is a guaranteed L. Special teams powerhouse.

DMVCougar

4/12/21 10:13am

I always find this a flawed logic; being favored in 12 games doesn't mean 12 win

krindorr

4/12/21 10:23am

Yeah, the reason teams play games. Aren't you curious about the 4 losses?

Benfica1

4/12/21 10:43am

Exactly

RUNBYU1

4/12/21 3:00pm

That’s basically an ACC equivalent schedule if you are Clemson
