I mostly agree. I'd also agree that if we went 7-5/8-4 against the toughest schedule we could put together every year, we'd also sell out the stadium.
I expect BYU power ranking between 5 and 60 over the next ten years with average around 25-30.
If you took that expectation, you could probably come up with an optimal schedule for donations, season tickets, fan excitement, recruiting advantage, national attention, etc. I honestly believe that optimization is with at least three of your four OOC games being against as good as competition as you can schedule, and I think it might be possible that it would be all four--except for the fact that we want an extra home game.
