9+ win average in the CFP era is phenomenal. I don't know that loss counts matter if the goal is to get to the CCG
That's all KW is playing for right now. BYU fans still have this WAC mentality where you have to go undefeated.
But no one is going to that in the new era of CFB outside the elite programs. Even then.

Had a Utah fan ask me why BYU fans take so much pleasure in their losing

Short answer: Yewt fans.

Scalley is more like McBride than KWhit. He’s nothing like Urban—much better.

Even after all this time they've never forgotten or forgiven the fact that BYU owned them for almost 25+ seasons
