I bet front loading is still a huge issue and it seems we always travel first
giving the other team the opportunity to buy out the game if wanted.

If the scheduling rumors are true, it shows where TH sits regarding Independence

The problem is our P5 scheduling front-loads us which can be problematic. Would love to see more balance

I really don’t see a front loaded schedule being a huge issue

Front loading will always be an issue, since we're everyone's nonconference foe.

Nobody has bought out of a game in 7 years.

Indy SOS has been easier than when we were in the MW. Last year we played 6 MW

If you want to recruit the best you need to play the best. Top notch LDS kids dont want to come to BYU to play MWC teams

I think we need more Hawaii, if only to deal with the front-load problem

That 2021 schedule is legit for Independence

6 P5s plus utah and Boise St. I love it.

That's fine with me. I'd rather play at least 5-6 P5 teams per year, plus utah

That is the Indy goal. Side with the "haves" as much as possible. Preservation.

Lower and mid P5 don't want to play us when we're up and they're down.

We need a couple more quality independents, so we can avoid front-loading

in 2020 & 2021 we play 6,7 P5's (counting Utah), but only 2, 3 at home

To me its about quality opponents, not necessarily just P5s

Those are the worst teams to schedule in my mind.

Depends on the P5, and the G5. Beating Houston looks better than beating Purdue,

There's a huge difference between beating UCF & NMSU

Right and unfortunately that's how a lot of P5 ADs look at BYU.

9/20/18 2:38pm
They all look at BYU more favorably as an Independent than they would as a G5

First 3 maybe, last 7 no

Houston and SDSU are decent home games

We don't need to have a magical 11-1 season and Jan 1 game every year.
