Why we are 14th

truecougster

11/27/20 9:05am

It all about keeping the money

If you can’t make a meaningful bowl winning all games by 5 TDs—you basically

Mr. Scoobs

11/27/20 9:10am

Strike “meaningful bowl game” and insert “playoffs”

All-American

11/27/20 9:12am

Agree 100%. But it’s even more laughable to get locked out of NY6. Unbelievable.

Mr. Scoobs

11/27/20 9:17am

The fact that ND is playing well exacerbates this.

Notre Dame is a member of the ACC this season

Sea Chicken

11/27/20 9:53am

Yes, but they are also indy in many ways

CocaColaRecovery

11/27/20 9:59am

They share the money with the ACC, and they are included in all the big talks. (conference commissioners + ND AD)

We need to be top 10 so we will make top 12

Turnpike Lane

11/27/20 9:33am

we were 8, and got 14. so we need to be ranked top 5 in order to make top 12.

here's to hoping

11/27/20 1:57pm

Byu doesn’t BYU have a representative on the committee?

SlantRoute

11/27/20 10:08am

Nor will they till they are in a conference.

SFarkus

11/27/20 10:53am

BYU is NOT G5. Saying so is not correct. Please stop as that hurts BYU.

LEDSFW

11/27/20 11:02am

Well we aren't P5.

coldcoug

11/27/20 1:08pm

The ACC, B1G, and SEC consider us a P5 opponent

DMVCougar

11/27/20 2:15pm

Same with Fresno State, but they aren't P5 either.

coldcoug

11/27/20 4:16pm

Same as Army and many others. It's not an exclusive club.

delete_king

11/27/20 4:25pm

Well we're not G5, Fresno is.

DMVCougar

11/27/20 4:49pm

We are independent, not P5.

coldcoug

11/27/20 4:55pm

And frankly, as independents go, we're a lot closer to Army and UMass than to ND

krindorr

11/27/20 5:05pm

And as far as P5’s go we are closer to ASU, Washington, Iowa...than Rutgers

truecougster

11/27/20 7:11pm

Wrong! Not in any way. We have no path to anything. Those team all have a path.

delete_king

11/27/20 8:07pm

We can compete with the likes of the schools I mentioned. Why play a schedule

truecougster

11/27/20 9:55pm

Because an AAC schedule wouldn't be like this year. If BYU added two good P5

delete_king

11/28/20 6:12am

And we aren't G5.

DMVCougar

11/27/20 5:14pm

2 types of Indys. Those that could be P5 and those that couldn't. Which are we?

krindorr

11/27/20 5:30pm

What....?

DMVCougar

11/27/20 5:51pm

We're not P5 quality

krindorr

11/27/20 6:34pm

How many G5 schools can put a list of P5’s they’ve beaten that would equal ours?

truecougster

11/27/20 9:58pm

In the independence era BYU is 16-25 vs P5

krindorr

11/27/20 6:39pm

P5 conferences not canceling this year get us to about 21 or 22-25

DMVCougar

11/27/20 6:50pm

A prophet now. You know this for sure?

delete_king

11/27/20 8:09pm

I haven't been confirmed yet, hence the 21-22 range.

DMVCougar

11/27/20 8:31pm

I'm confident it will come.

delete_king

11/27/20 8:37pm

To be honest, I do think BYU goes 11-1 or 10-2 this year with the original

delete_king

11/27/20 8:49pm

"buttcrack bowl"

DMVCougar

11/27/20 9:10pm

WOW! There is that arrogant attitude. What makes INDY more prestigious? Nothing!

delete_king

11/27/20 1:31pm

Somehow leaving G5 to throw our sucker in the dirt made us better than G5?

coldcoug

11/27/20 1:37pm

LOL, Sucker in the dirt!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 I love it. So good...

delete_king

11/27/20 1:43pm

Wait, you think G5 is better than Indy? In what way? Please share.

coldcoug

11/27/20 2:31pm

Top 25 ranking was always more "relevant" than a G5 conference horserace

DMVCougar

11/27/20 3:59pm

But 90% of the time, BYU isn't in Top 25 anyway, so conference play has meaning

krindorr

11/27/20 4:20pm

Correlation vs. causation

DMVCougar

11/27/20 4:22pm

Not saying we're bad because we're Indy, just that we're not normally top 25

krindorr

11/27/20 4:58pm

We have ZERO top 25 finishes as INDY.

delete_king

11/27/20 4:21pm

Which means we never would win a G5 conference during that time either

DMVCougar

11/27/20 4:23pm

Yes, I think the AAC is better than INDY x100.

delete_king

11/27/20 4:20pm

delete_king

11/27/20 1:32pm

What, is "G5 equivalent" the preferred term now?

krindorr

11/27/20 1:39pm

We are worse than g5. Let it sink in.

Bluedarts

11/27/20 1:43pm

I didn’t - I just said they are not giving two spots away.

truecougster

11/27/20 1:56pm

Every P5 champ is guaranteed a bowl regardless of ranking.

ImuaKahuku

11/27/20 12:15pm

And the nonsensical statement that this is not really about picking a true champ

Fifty Shades of Blue

11/27/20 1:24pm

G5 reps on committee have even MORE reason

truecougster

11/27/20 1:57pm

Why we are 14th? $$$$$$$
