2014 College Football

Big 12 is obviously the landing spot because any time they're left out, the lack of a conference title game is always going to be brought up. They're literally the only P5 conference that pretty much has to expand. Not only that, I think the Big 12 is the only conference that will work with BYU on Sunday play. Add to that a huge fan base and the fact that BYU has shown well against the Big 12 in recent years and everything seems to fit.

I'm also eager for BYU to join a P5 because I think it will quiet down the rhetoric when it comes to rivalry smack talk. Ute fans won't be laughing at their schedule and BYU fans will be less likely to mock Utah's 5 or 6 win seasons when they have to deal with the reality of playing the likes of Oklahoma, TCU, Kansas State, and Texas in a 4 week span.

I can only speak for myself, but I can get excited to watch them because they are my favorite team. They have good players, inducing one of the most exciting QBs in the country. Who they play is secondary. I get excited because I love BYU football.

Now why ESPN pays them millions to show BYU on their network, you'll have to ask ESPN that question.

I think any scenario where one of the P5 conferences is left out is a good one.....and that just happens to be guaranteed every single year. There is no way this doesn't go to at least 8 teams shortly. I don't think those other bowl games can possibly carry any semblance of the stature that they used to be as consolation prizes. With only 2 teams, your teams with beef radius was maybe 1 or 2 teams every year. Now you're going to have 10 teams that think they should have been in the playoff.

I'd like to go to a 8 team playoff, which gives the winner of each P5 conference a slot, plus 3 at large berths. This way, the selection committee can take more than 1 team from a P5 conference and/or reward a non-P5 school that has a particularly strong showing that year.

though I'm not a BYU fan per se, I'd love to see them crack into the playoffs, though I don't think it will happen. It's too good of a program with too much tradition not to find a home in a P5.

people were excited to watch boise state, tcu, utah, etc when they all had really weak schedules and were running the table.

I know, it's mind blowing.

Poor non-SEC fans.

Which one are you talking about? The one that is rated #22 right now?

I think there is min of 7 bowl teams on that schedule. That's not weak. It's going to end up just fine.

My previous answer to your question was not a very good one so let me answer it in this way.....

Why do a bunch of us watch summer league jazz games (and some of us travel to vegas and spend lots of cash to watch scrubs play)? Why do we watch ****ty online streams in languages we cant even under stand to watch exum play against some scrubs from angola in a pre-fiba warmup game? Why did i go to esa to watch a jazz practice (with no hayward, favors, evans, burks, or kanter lol) earlier this year? Why do we watch pre-season game in any sport?

See the answer to you question is that fans get excited to watch thier team play no matter what the situation.
I know lots of utes fans were excited to see them take on the mighty idaho state and fresno state and they tailgated and cheered and had a great time.

Fans watch thier teams play wherever, however, whoever, and whenever they can. We are sick people.

Totally different.

Fans of teams watch thier teams. Pretty simple answer to your question.
Kinda surprised you couldn't figure that out yourself tbh

If the Jazz played D-League teams 90% of the year I probably wouldn't watch.

Can't blame Cy tbh. He loves watching good football teams, and without strong opponents he'd never get to.

Because you say so? It doesn't matter what you pull up. Sagrin, blah blah blah....it's all in the same ballpark. It's all going to be in the realm of the power teams. How many power teams are there? 65. So if BYU's strength of schedule ends the year at 65 or lower on that front, ....what does that tell us?

I think byu only has two division 2 schools in thier schedule.

2 out of 11 or 12 does not equal 90% iirc

This is the kind of BYU fan I usually can't stand. Yes you're ranked. But in reality you've beaten a horrible UCONN team and a Texas program who is probably as bad as they've been in recent memory. You're getting votes for beating a big time program who is flat out bad right now as Charlie Strong tries to turn over the roster.

And to try and defend this years schedule is simply laughable. There's so many bowl games out there, of course there's probably 6 or 7 bowl opponents on there. That doesn't make them good football teams.

Teams Mississippi St chose to play.

Southern Miss, UAB, South Alabama, UT Martin.... plus you have Vanderbuilt and Kentucky on your schedule. You have 6 pansies on your schedule, so half of your games.
Then you have 6 good games in Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and Arkansas.
Basically you will go 6-6 if things go well and only because you scheduled pansies?

You don't have a whole lot of room to talk bro. When your team chooses to schedule someone they choose a pansy. Afraid they won't make a bowl?

Yeah, I pretty much don't watch the small games cuz they don't excite me.

A jazz schedule similar to byu schedule would look something like: Jazz play a 12 game season.

2 games are against d-league teams. (middle tenneseee, savannah state)
4 games are against the worst in the nba.....teams like orlando and philly (cal, conneticut, unlv, virginia
2 games are against bad teams but not horrible...... teams like minnesota timberwolves (houston, nevada)
4 games are against decent teams, with one or two being fringe playoff teams... teams like the knicks last year (texas, ucf, utah state, boise state)

Also the jazz have a top ten nba player to watch in each game (taysom hill)... lets say hayward is averaging 28 pts, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists with good percentages in this hypothetical season.
also the jazz might go undefeated in this hypothetical season.

I dont know about you but im gonna be watching every one of those games.......even the ones against the d-league teams.

Everyone on BYU's schedule sucks.
