The state of UT is kind of an outlier when it comes to D1 football schools.

Why are you calling programs like Nevada, Southern Miss, or Arkansas St 'Fake'?

I'm calling USU fake

Indy Coug

I'm calling you fake

Because I choose to call them fake. Call them what you want, but they are not

Mitty

1/14/21 2:39pm

Then why does Utah State count as a 'real' one?

ZacSeljaas'Stache

1/14/21 2:46pm

I don't understand the question. By the definition, they qualify as NOT fake.

Mitty

1/14/21 2:50pm

When has USU been in the same conference with BYU, Utah, or Colorado?

El Jefe

Change your definition to “10+ years in D1” and run the numbers. And be honest

USU football is worse than Nevada. Your formula is as biased towards USU as the CFP was to Iowa St.

Fake D1 schools?

Sea Chicken

Utah produces an oddly high number of D1 recruits because all the schools have

That’s an interesting point. Never thought about it that way.

TADOW

You need to take a better look at who these schools recruits..

TheLost

1/14/21 2:36pm

The other thing that will have a big effect is how school districts are handled

BYUMizzou

1/14/21 2:41pm

That's a good point that probably accounts for a percentage of the discrepancy.

Mitty

1/14/21 2:45pm

Where is the evidence to support utah having a high % of D1 recruits?

Here is the map showing Utahs number of recruits.

How is Montana up that far?

A few surprising things on this map, to me.

You can thank the Polynesians for that, sure as heck ain’t the Caucasian kids.

Lots of babies being born in Utah. More babies = more athletes.

CO has three D1 schools

ColoSpgs

Good point, I wasn't sure about AFA. Initially had considered them

Mitty

& 80% more population. That's the whole point.

RdF3

1/14/21 2:41pm

AZ also has three

TheLost

1/14/21 2:41pm

Per Wikipedia, just two.

Mitty

Weird.. since i've toured NAU's facilities. Somebody needs to tell the Big Sky.

TheLost

1/14/21 2:47pm

NAU is D1 but not FBS, original post was about FBS teams only

ZacSeljaas'Stache

1/14/21 2:48pm

He mentions FBS once.. He says 'Fake D1' (traditionally D2)

TheLost

1/14/21 2:51pm

Tell them what? You don't think they know they are 1-AA or whatever it's called?

Mitty

1/14/21 2:51pm

They are D1.. Maybe you want to change your rankings to P5 or not-P5.

Read his posts.. what would be his Fake D1 then? What is traditional D2..

TheLost

1/14/21 3:08pm

If USU gets +1, so do Nevada, Southern Miss, Arkansas State, W. Kentucky...

Doogal McCougar

1/14/21 2:45pm

No, those are traditionally D2 and 1-AA AKA pre-FCS schools. That's why.

Mitty

1/14/21 2:54pm

So Nevada.. who beat a P5 Big10 team last year (2019)... is D2? OK..

TheLost

1/14/21 3:00pm

Pretty sure at least Nevada and Southern Miss are USU's equals or better.

Doogal McCougar

1/14/21 3:07pm

Being from Utah, Mitty naturally hears more about USU than Nevada/Southern Miss

What school in NV earns your .5?

TheLost

1/14/21 2:45pm

Nevada & UNLV both get .25

BYU Fan

1/14/21 2:57pm

It would have to be .75.. since he gave NV 1.5

TheLost

Louisiana has 5 with a population of 4.65M, NC has 7 with population of 10M

AggieWeekendCougar

But OP will tell some of those are "fake," so he can make his point...

The Chelsea Dagger

Yeah, I don't see the point OP is trying to make. Not supported by facts.

Kindof sad that the only person presenting real data isn't getting thumbs up

Similar to Air Force, did you leave BYU out of Utah because it is part of a
