But I'd point out that essentially no one from G5 gets top 50 recruiting results, and no recruits appeared to be interested in some of the Independence semantics people tried the last 13 years to claim we were a quasi-P5 team.

Sure, but until now they were stuck on the outside

I would guess that the winning percentages of the P5 teams that we've played in the past have been higher than the

Yep. Until our talent level & depth improve, those records won't change

Is there enough data in your models to break that out a bit?

Would be interesting to see home/road splits, too if you have it.

Incredible data. CB needs a wake up call. Kalani doesn’t suck, we just play

Unless your recruiting materially improves, I'm not sure banging your head against the wall more frequently

It's a conversation worth having a few months from now if things don't pick up

I'm not arguing he should, I'm just trying to figure out how Indy calculated his numbers

Since 1972, BYU is the only non-P5 team to win the national championship
