But does it also set you up for a loss to a weaker team as well?

How many games has BYU lost that just shouldn't have after getting big wins? One bad loss will most likely kill and playoff shot.

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

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

I don't think it would matter what our schedule was in 2020, we weren't getting

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.

CaliWG

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

krindorr

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

krindorr

6/17/21 11:45am

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

You're assuming "they" want BYU in.

Z-Ute

6/17/21 11:41am

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

CaliWG

6/17/21 11:45am

I completely agree but again

Z-Ute

6/17/21 12:01pm

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

6/17/21 1:38pm

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

6/17/21 1:47pm

If they were to pass on and 11-1 BYU team. They would also have to pass on a

Of course you don’t get it, you give yourself tremendous credit for beating

travelcoug

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.

This is a byu fan board. You should start asking why you're here.

Get off it man.

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

There's the tantrum I was talking about. Thanks for not disappointing

DeekLyfter

6/17/21 11:18am

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

Moops

And there is the lack of knowledge and prospective. You win

travelcoug

I don't argue with people that are so surely convinced of their own intelligence

Maybe I will do that.

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