Great points but I think many of them just want to not be called a G5 program
Somehow in their minds Indy with no nearly access to playoffs, NY6, etc is better than being in a conference.

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

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

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

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.

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

6/17/21 10:39pm
Actually, no, we are not. You are in fact mistaken.

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.

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

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

These are all reasons we should join the Sun Belt

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

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

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

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