So much sadness and anger

Indy Coug

3:43pm

Probably. Crazy they didn't even throw a penalty flag on that play. That guy would probably be kicked

kimdaddy35

I don't know about that. His stats were pretty pedestrian even before his

He played on a team in the 80s that was still stuck in the 50s offensively

They beat BYU by a point in 2018 and now they think they can rule the world

Indy Coug

Laugh now, but who will the Pac-12 get as their 8th team? They'll need one.

I hope they steal Utah. 🙂

MWC will need to get in line behind the B1G if they want UU to join. 😉

Certainly no worse than some other conference adds

Too bad it's not for all sports.

Laugh all you want but they’ve might just beaten the national champ head to head in the year they won.

The amount of recency bias in these results is crazy.

LSUcougar92

3:28pm

Could be true, who else you got?

Ja'Crispy

3:29pm

Paul Howard was a fundamental piece to his team forever

LSUcougar92

3:34pm

Taysom is a better player at several positions that others that only play that position. Hes the best "NFL Player".

Did you not watch football in 1985?

Taysom Hill is not near the 2nd best pro to come out of BYU. Unique to our time period when everything

kimdaddy35

Here's the top 10 by AV and where some other players of interest end up

krindorr

3:29pm

I don’t see Chad Lewis at all on that list

bubbastats

3:34pm

Added him, he just wasn't one of the ones I'd chosen to list first

krindorr

3:36pm

Well you took off my vote of 5 time pro-bowler and 2 time champion Bart Oates.

kimdaddy35

3:30pm

He didn't have any All Pros though

RealTaysomHill

You're right, Oates should be on there

Is there anyone in this board who would like Dart to come to BYU? Nobody has said anything for 10 minutes about it.

TADOW Truly Addicted User

We could have had him if (hypothetical 1) or (hypothetical 2). Somehow we can't spell his name right either, like Gerry.

Best "NFL Player" and you didn't include Taysom? Taysom's position is "NFL Player".

AltTabbins

3:19pm

Haha good point, can't believe I forgot him

Ja'Crispy

3:21pm

Ok, I'll make another poll

Ja'Crispy

3:21pm

I think Puka and Fred end up 2 and 3. Right now I would go with either Oates or Christensen.

kimdaddy35

3:20pm

Ryan Rehkow! 🫡 But really, Rob Morris should be on this list too.

Get Rid of All D1 Bowl Games...

lbmango

Nah...get rid of bowl venues and have 1st/2nd round games be on campus.

Or make the first round be neutral at the very least if you must have bowls.

What about when the 4th weekend in Dec is the 28th like last year?

What if each of the 0-12 teams that the first team beat were equal to the second team (0-12)? Then team A is clearly

mvtoro

3:04pm

Who's better at basketball, the guy who beat 12 4th graders by one or the guy who lost to 12 NBA players by one?

RealTaysomHill

3:06pm

But why would you assume that the 12-0 teams are actually any good when you’re arguing that the 0-12 team is better?

mvtoro

3:10pm

No, there's not enough info. So that's why you look at other information, such as SOS, SOR, predictive metrics, etc.

RealTaysomHill

3:15pm

That’s what I said. Not enough info to determine either way. That’s why you leave assumptions about who is “better” to

mvtoro

3:22pm

But based on the information we have, it's ok to make a choice. In reality, we will never have enough information

RealTaysomHill

3:29pm

Too extreme

Depends on which one is in the SEC

2FarGone

There is a way to find out

Carnac

3:11pm

True, but it looks like they may have already played, and if they did, 12-0 team won by a point.

mvtoro

3:15pm

Where does it say they already played?

Carnac

3:18pm

It doesn’t. I said with the info provided they “may” have played, and team A won. The data would fit perfectly. But team

mvtoro

3:20pm

These hypotheticals man..

AltTabbins

3:14pm

They're ridiculous hypotheticals and ridiculously easy to make the right selection

Indy Coug

3:15pm

So the 12-0 team played 12 0-12 teams? And the same season there existed a 0-12

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

2:57pm

Just think...Utah's would have been lower if they could have played themselves

The Chief

2:59pm

One thing about SOS is winning makes it a weaker SOS. If we had gone 2-7 instead

gwalker

3:02pm

That’s surprising with SMU as an OOC game

Odysseus

Wyoming basically nullified them.

kimdaddy35

3:05pm

You're looking in the wrong place. It was our conference schedule that sunk us with this measure.

Indy Coug

3:06pm

Oh I'm aware. But Wyoming nullified the none conference playing SMU. The 17th best team and the 109th best

kimdaddy35

The very unequal Big12 conference schedule worked very hard in our favor

Which goes to show that none of these polls or metrics are worth anything, just the opinion of the CFP committee.
