BYU Respect

[Boomer]

I was pleasantly surprised the bowl viewership beat the UL vs Iowa State viewership from the start of the season when people are the hungriest for football.

........my question is why BYU gets such high rankings....they won 11 and only UCF UTSA and Boise had winning records and they beat very few with winning records.....Massey shows the records of the teams that a search team played!

BYU wins with style points. go back and check the margin of victory against those bad teams. I know coach Napier dont care for running up the score, but it matters to the voters and committee members. they expect the top level G5 teams to be head and shoulders above the rest of the G5. close wins hurt perception in the ranking for G5 teams.

BYU much like Notre Dame has a huge national audience. People watch them if they love um and many because they hate um.

I think you are correct in terms of how a G5 team is assessed when it comes to rankings and the national perspective. This year, we weren't able to win with that kind of margin on most games. It hurt winning those Georgia games so close, rankings wise. Probably TXSA also. We will see.
