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

It is not reasonable to expect them to be one every year. Rather than pull an SGC on reasons, I'll leave it at that.

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.

11/4/15 10:07am

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

They also aren't independent. Oregon has been a top program for years and

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

FiveTen-BuckEighty

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

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

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

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

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

1978-1984

run26

11/4/15 11:20am

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.*

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

gww687

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
