make NY6, or at least look respectable in a loss. Despite being one of the more successful non-P5 programs over the last 20+ years, BYU has never broken through and done anything meaningful.
Not only that, but they tend to get embarrassed in many losses. It makes sense that BYU lost to Oregon, but getting boat raced like they did just showed the world how far away BYU is from being NY6 worthy.
