Anger index.

Anger should be directed to ARod and the offense for losing to a mid team, a loss they earned

As long as they also get the praise for WAY overperforming expectations so far..

They do. As always sitake wins one he shouldn’t (maybe 3 this year-SMU, OK state and Utah) and loses one he shouldn’t. I

Do you ever get tired of being pessimistic?

I’m realistic. I watch a lot of football and see where we fit in the world. Mid P4 team is a huge jump from last year’s

Hey, get those algorithms and pollster blowhards outta here. What do they know?

Do you watch BYU games and think they are on par with Tennessee, Georgia, Texas a&m or even Clemson or Colorado? (Only

Nov 20, 2:25pm

Man, if you don't think this BYU team could go toe to toe with Clemson

Dr Van Nostrand

Nov 20, 2:42pm

So you think we match up with Clemson but not the others listed?

byuTX

Nov 20, 2:46pm

I think we'd likely get handled easily by Georgia.

Dr Van Nostrand

Nov 20, 4:19pm

Thanks. I think we would get spanked by all but Indiana in the top 10. And maybe Penn state. I think we would lose to

If you're just going to shift the goal posts, you could have used fewer words.

I agree the staff is not getting fired after the kansas loss lolol

Whether we're a top 12 team or not, I'm not honestly sure,

Dr Van Nostrand

The 25-40 is me projecting forward after a likely loss this week. Then either no CCG or a very likely loss to CU we may

This is true of most teams and most coaches.

Nov 20, 4:15pm

You think our offense has overperformed? How low were your expectatations?

All my anger is directed at one of the worst game plans vs a 3 win team.

I’m not sure how much thought/effort go into planning

Oh brother. You're right, these guys just sit around and make money doing

IronPotato

Nov 20, 11:06am

They do other things. Dance, have fun, goof around. It’s a vibes thing. I’m sure some planning & coaching get done too

byuTX

Kansas is much better than their record suggests.

VenomFarmer

Nov 20, 1:37pm

I 100% agree. And BYU isn’t as good as our record suggests

BYU really can't be angry until they put together consistent

BlueFever

That's the problem. They base this year on past seasons and reputation rather

IronPotato

Nov 20, 11:07am

I think they're seeing overachievers that are starting to run out of gas.

BlueFever

Nov 20, 11:32am

Could be. It's a long season and coaches figure teams out.

IronPotato

Nov 20, 12:00pm

Why should BYU not be angry when there is SEC/B1G favoritism? Dumb argument

NYC and Japan

Nov 20, 11:17am

BYU's fate is entirely in their hands still. They're down but not out yet.

I'm excited for this weekend.

Those are all pretty similar resumes. No strong argument for BYU to be

NYC and Japan

Nov 20, 11:21am

ND is ranked 6 and BYU 14. That's a big difference for similar resumes.

It reminds me of this gem a few years back with Men's basketball with Digger

That was so unbelievable. Their anti-BYU bias was crazy.

IronPotato

Seriously. Why have objective metrics if you are just going to ignore them
