BYU Fans & Administration need to understand the power of the 6th auto-bid

JDHouston

A team good enough to win the AAC would be good enough to win against our schedules and would be in - it’s not as cut

molodyets

6/17/21 9:40pm

Winning the AAC would be easier than running the table this year.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 9:44pm

You think last year's Cincy team would go 12-0 against our Indy schedule?

rggee

6/17/21 9:45pm

Against last year’s schedule? Sure.

All-American

6/17/21 9:53pm

No the original schedule or a normal Indy schedule

rggee

6/17/21 9:59pm

What the AAC route really does is gives you a little margin for error. 11-1 Indy

rggee

6/17/21 9:48pm

You are correct RGGEE!

JDHouston

6/17/21 9:50pm

No, you have less margin, because you also have to win a 13th game.

All-American

6/17/21 9:55pm

You don't have to win all 13. Thats the point.

rggee

6/17/21 9:59pm

Just 12 out of the 13

Remigius

6/17/21 10:02pm

Agree—with a normal Indy schedule a one loss BYU still gets in

All-American

6/17/21 10:06pm

Over the 1 loss SEC and B1G teams? Um, no.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:09pm

Not ALL of them, no. But that would get us in the top 12.

All-American

6/17/21 10:10pm

I don't think so. Last year told us all we need to know about where we will be

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:17pm

Yeah, ahead of them, if we took care of business in our only quality game.

All-American

6/17/21 10:18pm

So 1 loss doesn't get you in....

rggee

6/17/21 10:19pm

With a normal Indy schedule we could still get in.

All-American

6/17/21 10:30pm

You just proved my point.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:22pm

No, you just proved mine.

All-American

6/17/21 10:27pm

If i'm not mistaken, we are discussing whether AAC or Indy has

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:39pm

Actually, no, we are not. You are in fact mistaken.

All-American

"No, you have less margin."--All American. 13 posts up.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:49pm

Low margin of error isn’t the same as easy.

All-American

6/17/21 10:51pm

So the path with less margin for error is easier or harder?

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:57pm

As I said from the beginning.

All-American

6/17/21 11:01pm

I thought you said you didn't say that. Haha.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 11:08pm

You thought wrong.

All-American

6/17/21 11:21pm

RE: You thought wrong.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 11:27pm

Last year was a G5 schedule

Remigius

6/17/21 10:55pm

In the CCG if they were OOC or in the other division.

hebercreeper

6/17/21 11:17pm

Yep we'd be playing for the AAC championship and the autobid.

rggee

6/18/21 9:33am

1 loss BYU wouldn't be ranked ahead of 2 loss SEC and B10 and some BigXII teams

rggee

6/17/21 10:19pm

11-1 Indy BYU would be snubbed. No doubt in my mind.

rggee

6/17/21 10:07pm

You don't have to win all the OOC games. And you don't even have to win

hebercreeper

6/17/21 10:08pm

Once in the last ten years a 2 loss G5 was the best

Remigius

6/17/21 10:12pm

If you are in the AAC it definitely does. Is is the best g5 conference and it

johnnybyu

6/17/21 10:16pm

Which is the point

Remigius

6/17/21 10:57pm

And by the way: see 12-1 Boise, 2019.

All-American

6/17/21 11:03pm

Your assessment that 11-1 doesn't get you in with an Indy schedule isn't fair.

shimmy

6/17/21 10:27pm

Exactly - just win your division and win your conference championship game

BYU Fan

6/17/21 10:58pm

If your goal is the playoff it is. As Indy BYU will NEVER make the playoff. In

johnnybyu

6/17/21 9:51pm

So BYU makes the playoffs every 5 years? Wouldn’t that be nice.

All-American

6/17/21 9:55pm

I would put our chances closer to every 10. 20% chance to win the AAC and 50%

johnnybyu

6/17/21 10:02pm

I’ll have what she’s having.

All-American

6/17/21 10:07pm

It doesn’t move the needle as much as you think.

All-American

6/17/21 9:54pm

Nope. Top 20 usually gets you in if you win a conference.

jvquarterback

6/17/21 9:57pm

Tell that to Boise in 2019.

All-American

6/17/21 10:01pm

Yep Memphis took their spot at #17. Which is why AAC >>> MWC. PERCEPTION

rggee

6/17/21 10:09pm

Exactly my point. The 6th best conference champion only has to be top 20.

jvquarterback

6/17/21 10:48pm

The people you’re preaching to still think BYU has a shot to get in a P5 and that BYU is above the AAC. There are some

rainorsnow

6/17/21 11:26pm

Great points but I think many of them just want to not be called a G5 program

BYU Fan

6/17/21 11:36pm

Agree, it may just boil down to not having to be called a G5.

rainorsnow

6/17/21 11:40pm

I agree with this. Pro-indies have VERY poor logic. Look at it this way

Go_Banana

6/18/21 12:05am

These are all reasons we should join the Sun Belt

Remigius

6/18/21 5:06am

Well I’m not the one saying it, so . . .

I think people underestimate the impact of travel in the AAC for BYU. We travel

Cougar8Duck

6/18/21 1:39am

The travel argument is weak. It’s not like we’re pulling handcarts to Cincinnati

flyonawall

6/18/21 6:25am

Time zones is also part of it, esp with late start times.

Scooter

6/18/21 6:32am

Not really. The late time slot is the late time slot, regardless of where the

flyonawall

6/18/21 6:43am

BYU is already traveling all across the country as an Indy

BYU Fan

6/18/21 7:04am

And BYU's natural recruiting grounds are in Pac-12 / MWC territory.

Cougar8Duck

6/18/21 1:44am

With the schedules we have, an undefeated season will get us in
