There's enough top LDS talent to upgrade our recruiting — the only question is how much of that top end talent

Which used to go to other P5 schools will now go to BYU. I think BYU will make some strides there, but it'll probably be a mixed bag.

Why are you convinced that recruiting won't improve? We've lost many potential

Not sure all was P5, on D a lot was scheme and coaching.

I’d be happy with 50/50 good years vs bad. Big 12 is going to be tough.

Northwestern played for big ten championship in last 5 or 6 years.

1 of every 6 yrs in Championship is best case scenario. I mostly disagree

I don't see BYU being as horrid as Northwestern has been last few years.

Exactly what I would expect from someone that attended those schools....

Whatever. Exclude Utah and hasn't BYU been over .500 vs P5 the past 12 years?

mulletino

The problem might be most of our "P5" wins might be "WAC" wins in a year or two

My concern is will we be spending the money in the same way as other schools?

Just for the record- Northwestern HAS WON the Rosebowl.

BYU will never be a Northwestern. It was a dumb comparison.

you can't be a "tough out" but be the bottom of the conference

Hill4Heisman

3/30/23 4:19pm

yes you can if the team loses a lot of close games. A close loss is a clear

cwilke1

3/30/23 4:23pm

And those typically go 50/50 over time. So 4-5 or 5-4 in conference isn’t dead last.

over a huge sample size they can even out. no guarantees that within a single

Yes which also means the close games will also swing in our favor on occasion.

Better to be Northwestern than Indiana or Colorado

I think we’ll be average. Mostly middling with some really good and bad years.
