POLL: Is it reasonable to expect BYU to be a top 20 team?

They have to be in order to maintain any sort of relevance.

RichieRich

11/4/15 10:07am

That is a pretty silly comment. There are only a handful of perennial top 20

absolutely

Can we make it into the 90's at least? - Top 25

FiveTen-BuckEighty

11/4/15 10:10am

Going off of Run26. Assume top 20.

Niiineteeen84

11/4/15 10:14am

Perhaps I don't understand. BYU has ended the season ranked <20 several times.

I'm saying top 20 vs top 25 is pointless

FiveTen-BuckEighty

Ask Bronco

TNT doesn't know anymore

TNT

11/4/15 10:13am

No, with recruiting rankings in the 60's and outside the P5

FiveTen-BuckEighty

11/4/15 10:14am

BYU has 12 AP top 20 finishes (17 top 25) ever. ~25% are under Bronco.

SCcoug

11/4/15 10:16am

I'd say every few years, hovering around 25-35 the rest of the time

Twin Roots

I'd be curious to see a poll asking what percentage of seasons do you think BYU

11/4/15 10:19am

yes, it's completely reasonable to think that 3 out of every 5 years we should

Wow

TheKing

11/4/15 10:37am

you're thinking isn't logical. Four of Bronco's first Five seasons were exactly

It's actually perfectly logical...would love to get your answer to the following

TheKing

11/4/15 11:24am

Not consistently. We don't recruit well enough to expect top 25 rankings year in

BearsandBulls

11/4/15 10:23am

Perennial Top 25 with a NY6/Top 10 run every 5-7 years

P-townCoug

Why should we expect BYU to be a perennial top 25 program?

1978-1984

run26

During a time when BYU has a Legendary Coach innovating Football evolution

CasualFan

Unfortunately, I think that period is an anomaly.

BearsandBulls

11/4/15 11:44am

Probably the same metrics you could use to convince me the opposite.

P-townCoug

11/4/15 6:04pm

I believe recruiting rankings qualify as a type of "measure" or "metric".

BearsandBulls

11/5/15 11:33am

i suspect you are spot on and it is very disapointing if true

run26

11/5/15 12:09pm

Why aren't you frustrated with recruiting rankings?

11/5/15 12:49pm

I am frustrated with BYU's inability to land the lion's share of LDS...

BearsandBulls

11/5/15 1:09pm

is it really true that byuevery year byu misses out on the most elite LDS

run26

11/5/15 1:30pm

I've never done a thorough analysis but, g$'s assessment that BYU only lands

BearsandBulls

11/5/15 1:41pm

that's a real problem if we can't get our own (i.e. LDS) kids

run26

11/5/15 1:43pm

The reality is that if BYU could get the best LDS players they should be

11/4/15 10:30am

How many 5*, WR's, CB's and RB's come from the LDS recruiting base? While we

mtnKat

11/4/15 12:32pm

to your point, there have been 2 4* LDS CB's in the last 2 years

11/4/15 12:52pm

I believe Warner is more safety than corner.

mtnKat

11/17/15 12:21pm

There are more and more blue chip LDS skill players out there every year.

BearsandBulls

11/4/15 1:04pm

BYU's recruiting pool will not yield top 20 talent most years

CasualFan

11/4/15 10:33am

I am fairly certain there have been more 5*-4* LDS kids in the last 5 years

11/4/15 10:47am

You and I probably have a different view of BYU's recruiting pool

CasualFan

11/4/15 11:23am

Seems your view is also shared by the top recruits

11/4/15 11:43am

My particular view is BYU's mission focus over NFL placement

CasualFan

11/4/15 12:13pm

That is part of it, I agree

11/4/15 12:41pm

I asked this a while ago. See how good of a class you can make with LDS players.

SCcoug

I am an oldtimer in following recruiting

11/4/15 12:03pm

Score of 244

11/4/15 2:15pm

Awesome.

SCcoug

11/4/15 2:27pm

That is #17 rank

11/4/15 2:43pm

I'll expect it, but I *do not require it to continue to be a fan.*

PGVikingDad

11/4/15 12:16pm

It is reasonable to expect BYU to compete with top 20 teams

gww687

11/4/15 12:27pm

Need to be borderline top 25 every year and be top 20 more often than not.

cougaman

11/4/15 1:12pm

I think we can expect BYU to be in and out of the polls
