than you and will not mortgage the future of BYU football to settle for some short term possibilities in a G5 conference.

It would be such a laughably bad decision to move back to a G5 conference.

You are totally correct.

Today, that’s true. If a g5 champ gets an autobid to an expanded playoff,

I get your point, but remember that after 1 loss it's a crap bowl.

Quick - without looking it up, what bowl did Memphis play in this year? Did they win or lose?

Quick!!! The point is that the CC will be in a NY6 bowl, 90%. 10% BSU factor.

And ask an ACC fan what bowl game #11 BYU went to last year

Is an ACC fan like a Pac12 fan? Because all of the Pac12 stickers I've seen

Nobody cares about bowls anymore outside of the playoff. And we saw last season

If money is what we are playing for, maybe. I'm guessing UCF is doing okay :).

I hate the idea that BYUs goal in football is money & not winning or relevance

Watch UCF and Cincy get the P5 invite while BYU doesn't. This is the same thing

Who do you think we could play in NY6 bowl, Texas? Maybe USC? Nebraska?

Jacksonian76

Or maybe someone like Virginia. Or Baylor. Or Michigan St.

YIsForBrigham

5/15/21 11:00pm

Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Baylor, Penn State have been AAC NY6 opponents

There is a big difference in playing Neb, Tex, USC, Utah during the season

Did you just put Utah on the same level as Nebreaska, USC, and Texas?

So wrong. In which bowl game did the MWC champ from last season play?

You can have 3 or 4 P5 games in the AAC and play Cincy, Memphis, UCF, Navy, SMU,

delete_king

5/15/21 8:07pm

You cannot. No G5 team has ever played more than 3 P5 teams in a season. And 3 P5 games have only happened a few times

YIsForBrigham

5/15/21 8:12pm

Also, 6-8 P5s should be the goal

And it took us a while to get there but the independence schedules are there now and on a clear upward trajectory. They

YIsForBrigham

5/15/21 8:14pm

My point is that you can play 12 P5 teams every year. It will get you nothing.

The only thing that would change in the AAC is less money, less exposure, and fewer big games every year. Just a flat

YIsForBrigham

5/15/21 8:28pm

Not sure it's an upward trajectory so much as an ebb/flow; 2022-2024 we play 3-5

Yup. got some bad years coming. Need to improve

LiveCoug

5 P5 games is great. 4 is more than any G5 team has ever played. We’ll see what happens to the schedules after 2023

YIsForBrigham

5/15/21 8:33pm

4 P5 games and games like Utah St, Dixie, and Idaho st is a weaker SOS than most

You're right, great exhibition schedule. At best 7/8 wins, no ranking, bad bowl.

A bowl game is literally an exhibition game. The bowl game does not matter.
