It says nothing more than BYU being the big fish in a little pond.

You dump them in the lake and then where would they stand? Nobody really knows, but you can reasonably guess that they wouldn't be up with those other teams.

BYU is and always will be an anomaly.

Surprising fact, since Kalani became head coach BYU has passed Texas and USC for

Too bad we were terrible before LaVell... We would be blue-bloods.

BlueVU

And USC has -2 wins during that span?

DieHarder

7/29/21 10:38am

I was about to say... Some of this math isn't checking out...

No, it’s the total over a 50 year period

robin

7/29/21 10:40am

50 year span. Not 50 plus the next five

bulletproof

7/29/21 10:42am

It’s a rolling 50 year period.

Comparing 1966-2016 and 1971-2021

Not all wins are created equal.

Exactly. Strength of schedule matters more.

Which of BYU's wins was less equal?

StarMan

To state obvious, beating Portland St < beating USC for a title

You can only beat the teams you play.

Weird, I don't see Utah on that list. Are they a flash in the pan?

Loafer

So BYU was better from 2016-2020 than they were from 1966-1970?

BYU Fan

7/29/21 11:16am

And better than Texas and USC as well.

robin

7/29/21 11:23am

Because BYU was bad and USC was great from '66-70; not related to Sitake at all

krindorr

7/29/21 11:23am

Yeah.

robin

7/29/21 11:25am

2020 was quite helpful though...

An updated rolling 50 yr would put BYU at 430. Texas, would drop to 410, and FL

I don't like these kinds of comparisons because BYU

BlueFever

I don't see any other non-P5s on the list, not even Notre Dame, must count for

BlueFever

Bigger than all the other big fish in little ponds.

robin

7/29/21 12:24pm

Which means they belong on the Pond list, not the Lake list.

BlueFever

7/29/21 12:28pm

I think BYU has held their own when in the lake with the biggest fish.

robin

7/29/21 12:32pm

Look, let's just get BYU into a Power conference and I'll be more than happy to

BlueFever

7/29/21 12:35pm

I don't think either of us are wrong.

robin

7/29/21 12:38pm

I'll agree with that. It goes back to this issue of BYU being an anomaly.

BlueFever

7/29/21 1:00pm

BYU didn’t win because we were a big fish.

canofpicante

7/29/21 6:38pm

BTW… what’s your suggestion?

canofpicante

7/29/21 6:45pm

I wish we had 11 more wins during the last decade.

DwigtA2RM

Just means that from 2016 to 2019, BYU's wins in those four years were still...

CougarThug

So odd to see BYU in the middle of all those blue bloods

Rat

7/29/21 4:06pm

At the end of 2019 he was .500. Not exactly helping the winning percentage
