It depends entiirely on the SOS that goes with the 11-1 schedule. With the 2021 schedule, it;s possible. Not with 2020.

The likelihood of going 11-1 with the 2021 schedule is low though. That is the reality. It could happen, but it is very remote.

The long, long odds of going 11-1 with that sched combined with a 9 or 10 win

It depends on money. Nothing more. And as an Indy we don’t bring anyone else $

Disagree. An 11-1 Independent BYU is almost certainly in.

Agree. An 11-1 BYU on a typical indy schedule is in over ANY 9-3 team. Depending

What's a typical Indy schedule? So much variation year to year

Compared to Auburn? could see the committee considering it, closer than we think

krindorr

Maybe 1996 was a perfect storm, but BYU would have easily been in over Alabama

You're assuming "they" want BYU in.

In a non COVID year the schedule would never be that weak

I completely agree but again

I don't think they care enough about the 4th SEC team to pass on an 11-1 BYU

CaliWG

6/17/21 12:32pm

What about 2nd and 3rd SEC teams?

Z-Ute

6/17/21 12:45pm

What about them? They'll likely be in most years.

CaliWG

6/17/21 12:52pm

So that's BYU fighting for 1 of 3 spots now

Z-Ute

For an 11-1 Independent BYU? Yes I like their odds.

Problem is that you don't play 5-7 P5s going forward, you play 4.

They don’t care about credibility! Its a for profit biz not an athletic comp.

No deek is right. This is a BYU fan board and we support BYU. You don’t.

DeekLyfter

And there is the lack of an argument. Thanks for not disappointing.

If playoff access were all that mattered joining might be the right call.
