Brayden GreenI'm not taking a poll or anything, because most people that are disappointed with the season aren't on the board anymore. I just wanted to start an honest discussion about the season looking back, and what we expect going forward. Those on the board still are the most hopeful, and/or the most masochistic, (I think most of us fall somewhere in between ;) ) that I wanted to get a sampling.
With one more (probable) win to go, BYU is sitting at 7-4.
How do you feel about where BYU is sitting at 7-4?
Would a win against Nevada change your position or solidify it? (Obviously a loss at Nevada would send the program reeling, and would potentially result in some changes, especially followed by a loss in the bowl game).
So how do you feel about a 9-4 season when all is said and done?
How would you feel about an 8-5 season with a loss to either Nevada or Washington?
I will post too, but first I want to get some responses, and provide a little context of who we have played and how they are shaking out this season. Wins in Blue and losses in that other color.
Virginia (ACC, 0-7 dead last) Overall Record 2-9 . Notable wins: BYU. (Their other win is a Div 1AA school). Losses to Oregon, Pittsburgh, Ball St, Maryland, Duke, Georgia Tech, Clemson, N. Carolina, and Miami. Plays VT next. WILL NOT BE BOWL ELIGIBLE.
Texas (Big 12 record 6-1 tied for 2nd with Baylor) Overall Record 7-3 . Notable wins: Kansas St, Iowa St, Oklahoma, TCU, W. Virginia. Losses to BYU, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma State. Still plays Texas Tech and Baylor. CURRENTLY BOWL ELIGIBLE and possible BCS implications depending on winning out, and other programs losing.
Utah (Pac 12 1-7 tied for both second to last in conference and last in division) Overall record 4-7. Notable wins: Utah St, BYU, Stanford. Losses to Oregon St, UCLA, Arizona, USC, Arizona St, Oregon, Washington State. Plays Colorado next. WILL NOT BE BOWL ELIGIBLE.
Middle Tennessee (C-USA, 5-2 3rd in C-USA). Overall record 7-4. Notable Wins. None. Losses to N. Carolina, BYU, E. Carolina and Northern Texas. Plays UTEP next. CURRENTLY BOWL ELIGIBLE.
Utah State (MWC, 6-1 2nd in conference, 1st in division) Overall record 7-4. Notable wins: Air Force, SJSU, UNM, Hawaii, UNLV, and CSU. Losses to Utah, BYU, Boise St, and USC. Plays Wyoming next. CURRENTLY BOWL ELIGIBLE

Wisconsin (Big 10, 6-1 2nd in conference). Overall record. 9-2*. (*should be 10-1) Notable Wins: *(should have been Arizona St, I'm counting it here), Northwestern, Illinois, Iowa, BYU, Indiana, Minnesota. Losses to Ohio St, Pac-12 refs* (ASU). Plays Penn State next. CURRENTLY BOWL ELIGIBLE, and possible BCS implications depending on tOSU losses, or "we're sorry you got shafted" accomodations (though not likely).
Idaho State (Big Sky, 1-7) Overall Record. 3-9. Notable Wins: None. Losses to Washington, UC Davis, North Dakota, N. Arizona, S. Utah, E. Washington, Portland St., Weber St. Not playoff eligible (FCS team).
Notre Dame (8-3, Independent) Overall Record 8-3. Notable Wins: Purdue, Michigan St, Arizona St, USC, BYU. Losses to Pittsburgh, Oklahoma and Michigan. Plays Stanford next. CURRENTLY BOWL ELIGIBLE, but out of BCS speculation, even with a win.
Whew. That was a doozy. :bug:
