I don't know. Perhaps you're not brave enough to post there.

It's a symbol in that if you win the conference, you're most likely a good team and you might be good enough to do the things the fans really are about--overall winning record, signature wins, top 25 ranking, bowl performance. Sorry IPU, you're just wrong on this one. Bottom line is that at BYU a successful season is measured by: --overall win record --signature wins --top 25 ranking --bowl performance --conference championship --win over Utes Conf champ is just one of the criteria and it could be missing and still be successful. Likewise, missing the majority of the rest of the criteria but hitting on conf championship would feel like a failure to fans. |

It's sad the Bronco's number one goal, for example, next year will be to win the conference championship.
There will probably be 45 schools next year whose stated team goal is to go undefeated and win the NC. BYU will not be one of those schools. |

LaVell won a national championship using the same goal hierarchy.

I don't think Bronco is quite the small thinker you believe he is, MW. But I think he's bought into the idea that easy schedule is the way you get respect--the Boise St model. |
