Kind of insulting to be grouped with Indiana. We are way more of a brand in

We are, but I get his angle. Like he suggests, it shouldn't matter.

Here's how our program stacks up against Indiana

We either are or we’re not.

It's true. The BYU brand isn't Texas, tOSU, Bama, Georgia, ND, or USC. But, if

ThugU is not a good brand

Yeah, but good or bad, still a brand

Yep. "Brand" is worth something when rankings are being done subjectively.

I don't think we can afford a loss given the initial ranking

He’s right but what he’s missing is that they care about conference, not school.

Good points. The Committee & networks are rooting for the Colorado Deions in B12

that was a very good listen if you have 23 minutes

"Indiana and BYU were wanked"... lol

In Mesa, that doesn't surprise me. If I saw it in New York City, or Miami, then

not a blue blood. certainly a brand. but not big ten or sec. that’s really all that means.

We're currently #42 in viewership among college football teams and #10 among Big 12 teams.

Not a fair comparison. ESPN puts BYU at 8:15 knowing the viewers won't be there,

That is kinda the point. We play at 8:15 because we are not a brand...

4:30pm

BYU fans overplay that we are a national brand. The viewership data doesn't support this.
