I used to think so... but Independence is what gave our team a full season this last year...

What Independence did for us this year made the last 10 years of it all worth it. It gave our athletes 1 game shy of a full complete season... Holmoe deserves a mountain of credit and recognition for what he accomplished.

I'm still not the biggest fan of it, but I'm happy with it under the current landscape. If the playoffs do switch to 12 teams, I think BYU has to make a move.

Independence sucks. If you feel otherwise I think you're lying.

I'd prefer a good ranking than an MWC championship. Thinking the season is over after a loss is really stupid,

We're locked in to our bowl already when we lose.

And it would be super exciting to see what other Podunk crap bowl we might

Better chances of undefeated in G5 than Indy. We need that for CFP basically.

We're locked into a crappy MWC bowl already when we lose. The advantage of a conference over indy

And all bowls except the playoff are consolation prizes. Yes NY6 matter but

Okay. We better schedule less P5s and more G5s then.

Against 60 other schools. The small chance of possibly beating out

Independence sucks. It just sucks less worse than the alternative.

I had more fun watching the 2019 Tennessee and USC games than I did all of 2020

G5 sucks. If you feel otherwise I think you're lying

Whether independence sucks or not is highly dependent on how much you like

I love independence. You are talking with the wrong people.

The one positive is you can play games all over the country

6/10/21 1:42pm

Man, you people forget how many negatives there were to being in the MWC

road games in Laramie.

And G5 in this era sucks way harder.

You realize BYU just finished a G5 season with it's best record and ranking....

Yes. It was a terrible schedule and we wouldn't have made the CFP. Not

You think recruiting due to playing the better schools has anything to do with that ecuaboy?

I do agree here. What he did last year was phenomenal. It's an anomaly though.

HingleMcCringleberry

It's an anomaly but one that BYU can say that they were able to pull off and could do it again

You really want to play a home schedule with Wyoming, Unlv, Air Force, USU, NM?

GlutealGuy

really hated those home schedules. Like a lot

Since 2011, P5 > Indy > G5. If the playoff happens with 12 teams, it's time to look at that again.

I LOVE INDEPENDENCE!!! LOVE IT!!! The most exciting part of football is in
