If we coulda taken TCU off our schedule, I'm assuming at least one of Max's teams would be on that list.

The continued belittling of the 2020 BYU team is just ridiculous

Careful, you’re going to agitate the Anti-Kalani mob

Right now, I'm more concerned about the anti-2020 nonsense.

Yes. TNT is very agitated now

Live look at TNT thinking of our coach.

Agreed. 2020 most underrated team ever at BYU. The schedule wasn’t that hard but

You don’t get to use 2021 records to show how good the teams were in 2020 because 2020 was weird.

"Most Underrated" is a bold statement. Where do you think they would have been

That was a solid team. Plenty of other reasons to express concern for Kalani than to drag that team. I do, however,

And the MOV is what counters the SOS rebuttal

Indy Coug

Jun 26, 8:18am

Comparing 2020 to other seasons creates a whole bunch of issues anyway, but sure we killed most teams.

shimmy

Jun 26, 8:22am

Only 2 of 2,275 team-seasons by non-P5 teams since 1980 had an average MOV larger than 2020 BYU's

Impressive. Hope we see more of that this year.

Folks have to belittle 2020 in order for the “Kalani sucks” narrative to work.

Actually you don’t have to do that. Even giving KS the 2020 yr his coaching

The team was fine. The issues that year were coaching related.

To be honest

All winning P4 programs outside an elite tier are cyclical

Even elite tier is cyclical…just shorter losing cycles when legend coach retires

Last sentence is a little telling. If you’re expecting 1984 again, you’re going to be disappointed regardless of who is

Speaking of anomies, the loss against coastal Carolina was one of those.

We only disregard the anomies that work against his point

Correct, it doesn't guarantee a win though.

Correct. Doesn’t make it not an anomaly

BYU made the right decision to play in 2020

BYU was elite in 2020 largely because of circumstance.

How do you explain the 2021 season then?

2021 success - Covid hangover and as non P4 you were typically a trap game. That

PAC 12 had Covid rust, just like mission rust.

Not sure if that’s true, until last year the P12 just wasn’t good for a decade+

I enjoyed 2020 immensely, but isn't MOV a flimsy statistic to hang your hat on?

Not to mention large MOVs have diminishing returns from a statistical standpoint
