Boise has what BYU lacks

Dec 6, 7:24pm

A weak conference?

5-2 vs Utes in the Pac12. 8-4 vs Independent BYU. Big wins vs P5/P4 teams. Hate

what do you think BSU’s record would be in the big 12 this year?

JOPE

Dec 6, 7:33pm

I agree. They’re better than all but the top 4.

bluecougar1985

Dec 6, 7:34pm

Agree… Probably about 8-4 ceiling.

BoiseBlueCoug

Dec 6, 7:35pm

5-4 in conference

CougFan4EverEver

Dec 6, 7:37pm

Maybe 6-3 with a favorable schedule.

bluecougar1985

Dec 6, 7:43pm

They'd probably run the table just like that other rookie B12 powerhouse, Utah.

Man we sound so much like Alabama fans saying "What do you really think BYU's record would be in the SEC"

that week of the season, all of them except houston

Depends on the schedule. They are a similar level to the top 4 big 12 teams

you don't know what you're talking about

No, you!

They weren’t 5-2 against Utah while they were in the Pac12.

BYU '80

Dec 6, 7:34pm

Utah was beating us over the same span

Among the least popular things to point out on Cougarboard: Boise beat us 2/3

Sadly, you are absolutely right!

They'll get rolled next game.

I doubt that. Best offensive coordinator in the business.

Check your facts. Boise was 6-5 vs Independent BYU, and many of those wins for

The record all time against byu is accurate, and you are straining at gnats

BoiseBlueCoug

Dec 7, 7:22am

Like they won at Oregon this year or beat all those p4 teams last year?

kaladin58

Dec 7, 7:29am

The record all-time is not accurate either. I just told you BYU has 5 wins

andrewg3

Dec 7, 8:21am

Had the same thought when Huard said "they seem to know what's at stake"

Timeout Husbander

Dec 6, 7:27pm

True we've never had Ashton Jeanty

TO11

Dec 6, 7:27pm

We had a Luke Staley and a similar record.

Malathion

Dec 6, 7:34pm

The same record actually. We were 12-1 going into bowl season. We would have

You have a problem with truck drivers?

Nope, but I have a problem with people who jump to conclusions

You're making BYU fans look bad

You're taking sports message boards too seriously

I hate to be 'that guy", but this is the MWC.

Countcougula

Dec 6, 7:32pm

Yes, the same MWC that possibly is going to walk into a 4 team playoff and Big12 might be left out

Osteotome

Dec 6, 7:35pm

I think that's the SEC & B1G trying to undermine the B12 credibility.

They might but that doesn't mean it's the way it should be. Raise your hand if

I’m just stating everything I’ve heard MWC champion more likely to get first round bye than Big12 champion =

At least have the mwc championship at a neutral location.

Stop it. BYU would beat unlv blind folded. Boise played one real game this year and lost

And we'd definitely beat teams that UNLV beat. Like Kansas, right?

We had the 40th ranked sos. Texas is 38th. Boise is 105th.
