PickleButton

Pac 12! Still can't believe they got a life boat (maybe more of a noodle) there.

johnnybyu

ironically, their addition to the PAC 12 may keep it from meaningfully expanding

I'm sorry, your going to have help us out, what or who is USU?

Who are the boosters withholding $? I don’t mind USU and I hope they survive.

Yes RdF3, are you willing to be a REAL college football fan and back up that

BYU Sportz Fan

We go undefeated in conference, we're actually undefeated. We wouldn't be left

It looks like that’s a tiebreaker after conference SOS

I don’t think the undefeated thing will be an issue this year, but a 16 team, divisionless conference

A home playoff game would be better than a buy but don't see that ever happening

johnnybyu

It would be fine because all 3 would make the playoff so no big deal.

In that scenario, it would come down to tiebreaker rule 4 (in-conference SOS)

zuko

I think that would be ideal.

fbguru

Are we too cheap as a fan base to play more than 6 home games per season?

BYU Sportz Fan

7:39am

It’s so weird. It’s a massive advantage that every other school takes and here

Iman23

7:40am

We have 7 home games scheduled 2026 and 2028 and 2030

Greg4BYU

7:44am

Good to know! I should have just looked at our future schedules

BYU Sportz Fan

7:52am

I think it’s mostly a byproduct of Holmoe believing BYU should honor its existing contracts

Indy Coug

7:41am

This. Once the old independence scheduled games fade away, we'll get up to 7

paulb

7:45am

Didn’t most/all of our scheduling agreements have clauses allowing us to cancel

BYU Sportz Fan

7:45am

Yes, they did. That's why Indy says holmoe is honoring them (by not backing

paulb

7:47am

I know that was the case for some, but I don’t know if that was universal

Indy Coug

7:47am

Yep but as Indy said, Holmoe wanted to honor agreements to the best of his ability. I believe 2026 we have 7 home games

RockyBalboa

I just hope a loss doesn’t drop us disproportionately like in the past during Indy. That should be a perk of being P4.
