It's ironic we're in position to beat the top 3 ranked teams in the MW

Would it be "our down year" if we beat all of them?

Those were disastrous losses. This is definitely a down year.

I'm not so sure. You don't beat 2-3 ranked teams in a down year.

But also don’t lose to programs like USF or Toledo in their down years in good

If we win out, this will have been a more than acceptable year to me.

8-4 with this schedule? Absolutely. Nothing special, but very acceptable.

So if we had beat USF and Toledo but lost to BSU and USC it would have been an

Um, Yes. Losses to ranked teams could be considered “acceptable” under our

Eh I disagree. Home wins over ranked teams are awesome and make the season more

rggee

Wins over ranked teams, wherever they occur, are awesome.

Yes.

Depends on your perspective. Compared to the 80s and 90s, this is a down yr.

If BYU were in the Mtn West

...losses would be to CSU & UNLV instead of Toledo & USF...

Like the NCAA counts good losses and bad losses when deciding on playoff

What about horrifically bad losses?

antiyewt

I wouldn't go quite as far as almost UMASS at home lol

Which is why I described it as “just short of”

I hadn't considered that. We aren't having the year we hoped, but if we were to

Man if this happens, I’d be licking my chops. As someone once said

Close, but wrong. "Utah" tears are the BEST of all!

Love how they blame BYU. Several schools have lost potential big bowl

Does the NY6 berth only earn $4 million for the conference? For some

cwilke1

10/22/19 8:28am

It looks like $4 million on top of $2 million for expenses, and playoff games

So BYU makes more individually as an Indy, they no longer have to share what

haha. Shouldn't it say "BSU chokes away potential $4MM payout for MWC?"

ForzaPuma

10/22/19 8:46am

No. BYU won by being aggressive and actually playing well. We even saw defensive

If anything, BYU almost chokes away win against BSU...

The one sided officiating is starting to make a lot more sense now😂

Sure, but after taxes...

Bsu spoiled it. But BYU.
