That the AAC has the advantage it's pretty close. But I think the chance for a playoff when we have really good seasons is enough to make the move. We will have more really good seasons even if they are rare.

The argument for AAC or indy is what happens when we are good enough.

BYU has never been good enough as an Indy. Probably won't ever be.

That's not the point. But on a normal year when

So you would go AAC even without the new playoff factor?

Nope I've been on the Indy train until this autobid change. Now I'm on board for

Then you are not a rational actor.

Unless you want a better shot at a national championship which is what you

Wrong on both counts.

Are fans supposed to be rational? Its all about the playoff possibility for me.

Great news. Our odds of getting in as an independent just improved dramatically.

All-American

I dont think they'd let us in at 11-1. MAYBE undefeated.

Why do you think an AAC schedule would be easier?

All-American

6/17/21 9:52pm

If anything they'd be the same. And 1 loss or even 2 doesn't DQ you in the AAC

rggee

6/17/21 9:58pm

1 loss doesn’t DQ you in Indy either, unless you only play one good team.

All-American

Now you're just trolling. 11-1 Indy BYU ain't sniffing the 12 team playoff.

I disagree. Here’s hoping we have the chance to find out someday who’s right.

They went from 0 to 0. If the rankings were computer based and unbiased

BYU has never been good enough to win the AAC over the same period. So what’s the point?

YIsForBrigham

They could compete and could be good enough in the future. Much more likely than as Indy

TEXAS

6/17/21 9:18pm

Maybe. But for many reasons, it’s not obvious that’s the case.

On a year that BYU is good enough to make the playoffs?

Which shows how little the difference in playoff access should matter.

Turns out they play 12 other games every year.

We just came off a year where with this format we would make it in the AAC with

We would not have made it this year. You’re ignoring a lot of inconvenient facts

All-American

I wouldn't make the decision based on something that may or may not happen once

When everything is so close already I think that's the tipping point.
