but for some of you any negative talk about BYU football is a sin. If we finish ranked in the top 25 in any ranking (Sagarin, AP, Coaches) this season I will be the first to say BYU is progressing

Sagarin Rankings indicates good and bad news for BYU football

Did we need a statistical analysis to tell us any of that? We lost to the 2 best

Is your BYU football cup always half-empty?

10-2 would be fantastic for this year, with all the injuries and player issues.

Yes 10-2 knowing you lost to the two best teams could be viewed

10-2 and a top 25 ranking is a success imo

Appreciate the candor, but c'mon now

How can you say there wasn't any progression if we finish a 10-2 season with

serious question for you?

Quite a few of us actually - Sagarin is a better indicator than polls IMO

I'm not persuaded the football database is large enough for sagarin to

Don't believe rankings. We know what we've seen on the field, & it is good.

ECU beat Virginia Tech and lost to Florida by 7 points

QuickCoug

Miami and Va Tech aren't good teams this year.

RSLCoug

11/4/15 9:55am

Disagree that it means we have accomplished very little

Jericho

11/4/15 9:52am

I view your opinion as a poor one

Cougarealist

11/4/15 9:54am

I think top 20 is a major stretch.

RSLCoug

11/4/15 9:56am

Very good chance we start the season in the top 25 next year if we win out

Jericho

11/4/15 9:58am

So you're not happy unless BYU is top 5 or 10. Got it. Also, nice frowny face

Niiineteeen84

11/4/15 9:55am

WRONG. I have stated many times on CB that I have no expectation about top 10

run26

11/4/15 9:58am

So if we win out we will be ranked in the top 20 and that is the "bad news"

BYUheaven

And if BYU had beaten UCLA

fan_byu

11/4/15 9:56am

haha, beat me to it

BYUheaven

11/4/15 9:59am

Yeah, we all view it differently.

CasualFan

11/4/15 9:58am

Why do I get the feeling if we would have beat UCLA you would still be pissed

BYUheaven

11/4/15 9:58am

if we beat UCLA and then lose to Mich 31-0 yes I would still be "pissed"

run26

11/4/15 10:00am

i think it shows we are about #25-30. which i think is about right.

Season isn't over

There is a way to do this analysis, but you haven't done it.

My thoughts after reading your post:

jonnnylingo

11/4/15 10:12am

10-2 a dissapointment?! Wow

rggee

11/4/15 10:12am

Biggest wet blanket on earth.

mulletYno

11/4/15 10:12am

Most teams tanked around 30 will have a bad loss somewhere

wapiti

11/4/15 10:24am

Two game ago you were predicting 8-5. Now 10-2 disappoints you.

Florwood

11/4/15 10:53am

its not a contradiction

run26

11/4/15 11:00am

Sorry, I refuse to cry all the time. 10-2 would be great.

My advice: Try to enjoy things more, run26. Nobody likes a Negative Nancy.

I bet you're a real gas at parties.

I'd be more than willing to bet in 1984

CasualFan

11/4/15 1:57pm

You're probably right.

DB Cooper

11/4/15 1:59pm

So, we beat the teams worse than us and lost to those better. Noted
