LOL. G5 has no place in football playoffs, but boy, BYU sure needs to rush and join one of those lame duck conferences!

Because indy is killing the program.

No it's not. Losing and bad coaching is killing the program- not independence

What makes you think last years team would have performed any better in the MWC? We would have still missed a bowl

7/18/18 9:06pm

Fine. But most years would be more interesting.

7/18/18 10:42pm

And what would the same team in the MWC have to play for? We lose 1 or 2 games

SUAVO

It’s the exact same floor in the MWC with a much lower ceiling and a boring route to get there

I actually agree. BYU still has a brand that makes people all over the country curious when things are going well.

No way!!! just like UCF. Plus a two loss Ohio st, Alabama, would get in first.

BYU has no future as a G% either. So what do you propose?

BYU’s only chance is the AAC... join it and hope it gets elevated to P5
