I’m just stating everything I’ve heard MWC champion more likely to get first round bye than Big12 champion =

A very messed up selection criteria that isn’t based on reality.

Don’t shoot the messenger if the MWC champion gets s first round bye, I’d love to see them get beat by 50 any team out there even by teams I otherwise always root against ND Alabama and Ohio State

Boise has what BYU lacks

Beggar

12/6/24 7:24pm

A weak conference?

12/6/24 7:27pm

5-2 vs Utes in the Pac12. 8-4 vs Independent BYU. Big wins vs P5/P4 teams. Hate

12/6/24 7:31pm

Completely different to show up for 1 or 2 games a year.

12/6/24 7:32pm

Exactly

We used to hate it when people said that about us and playing Bo Diddley Tech. A

The gaps and lines were absolutely not the same in the 80s and 90s - consider:

Your argument definitely lost all credibility when you had to use Air Force as

Nah, it didn't. Seems like you didn't process the argument - I didn't "have

Hmmm - OR, even more reason to recognize that playing a sched of non "power 4"

According to the CFP Boise strength of schedule was 10th and BYU was 12th so not

12/11/24 10:02am

what do you think BSU’s record would be in the big 12 this year?

JOPE

12/6/24 7:33pm

I agree. They’re better than all but the top 4.

12/6/24 7:34pm

Agree… Probably about 8-4 ceiling.

12/6/24 7:35pm

5-4 in conference

CougFan4EverEver

12/6/24 7:37pm

Maybe 6-3 with a favorable schedule.

12/6/24 7:43pm

They'd probably run the table just like that other rookie B12 powerhouse, Utah.

PGVikingDad

12/6/24 9:56pm

Man we sound so much like Alabama fans saying "What do you really think BYU's record would be in the SEC"

krindorr

12/6/24 10:03pm

Which Big-12 teams would have played Oregon closer than BSU did?

Les IsMore

12/6/24 10:34pm

that week of the season, all of them except houston

12/7/24 12:41am

Depends on the schedule. They are a similar level to the top 4 big 12 teams

you don't know what you're talking about

12/7/24 1:00am

No, you!

y2kougar

12/7/24 1:17am

i don't know what you're talking about either. sorry, can't help ya

12/7/24 1:28am

They weren’t 5-2 against Utah while they were in the Pac12.

BYU '80

12/6/24 7:34pm

Utah was beating us over the same span

cajuncoug

12/6/24 9:21pm

Among the least popular things to point out on Cougarboard: Boise beat us 2/3

cajuncoug

12/6/24 9:15pm

Sadly, you are absolutely right!

Love Cougs

They'll get rolled next game.

I doubt that. Best offensive coordinator in the business.

Check your facts. Boise was 6-5 vs Independent BYU, and many of those wins for

andrewg3

12/6/24 11:43pm

The record all time against byu is accurate, and you are straining at gnats

12/7/24 7:22am

Like they won at Oregon this year or beat all those p4 teams last year?

kaladin58

12/7/24 7:29am

The record all-time is not accurate either. I just told you BYU has 5 wins

andrewg3

12/7/24 8:21am

Had the same thought when Huard said "they seem to know what's at stake"

Timeout Husbander

12/6/24 7:27pm

True we've never had Ashton Jeanty

TO11

12/6/24 7:27pm

We had a Luke Staley and a similar record.

Malathion

12/6/24 7:34pm

The same record actually. We were 12-1 going into bowl season. We would have

andrewg3

12/6/24 11:44pm

A Heisman candidate RB.

benny1982

12/6/24 7:27pm

Yep, Boise has Jeanty, the probably Heisman winner. BYU lacks Jeanty or they

Boise would never choke away a big chance to qualify for a major tournament.

12/6/24 7:29pm

An ugly field and a bunch of future truck drivers?

Knee Brace

How condescending.

Knee Brace

12/6/24 7:47pm

You have a problem with truck drivers?

DudeBro

12/6/24 7:50pm

Nope, but I have a problem with people who jump to conclusions

Knee Brace

You're making BYU fans look bad

You're taking sports message boards too seriously

Knee Brace

12/6/24 10:54pm

I hate to be 'that guy", but this is the MWC.

12/6/24 7:32pm

Yes, the same MWC that possibly is going to walk into a 4 team playoff and Big12 might be left out

Osteotome

12/6/24 7:35pm

I think that's the SEC & B1G trying to undermine the B12 credibility.

12/6/24 7:38pm

They might but that doesn't mean it's the way it should be. Raise your hand if

12/6/24 7:38pm

One very good team, one good team and the rest are crap

Which shouldn’t happen. What’s your point

At least have the mwc championship at a neutral location.

0-1 vs P4 in 2024, 0-3 in '23, 0-1 in '22, 0-1 in '21, 1-1 in '19, 0-1 in '18, 1-2 in '17.

It appears that Beggars can be choosers.

And they will lose their first game and Jeanty will leave.

Stop it. BYU would beat unlv blind folded. Boise played one real game this year and lost

MaxxPower

And we'd definitely beat teams that UNLV beat. Like Kansas, right?
