Default This is why we can't be P5

because we have fans that think next year's schedule is "brutal".

Try being in the PAC-12 or the SEC or the Big 12.

I hate these p***** fans.

Baylor's schedule was hardly brutal. They played 4 good teams this year. I like our 2016 schedule though.

So BYU plays 3 PAC-12 teams (UCLA, Utah, Arizona). Hard to say where they end up in the PAC-12 next year.

West Virginia - a not very good Big 12 team.

Michigan State - I assume will be very good.

Mississippi State - will probably be near the bottom of the SEC West next season.

So they only play 6 teams from the P5.

Toledo, Southern Utah, UMass, Utah State, Boise State, Cincinnati. Take the worst 3 from these. Let's say Toledo, SUU, and U Mass.

So that's our non-conference, and it's lousy.

These are the "conference" games:
Arizona
Utah
UCLA
West Virginia
Michigan State
Mississippi State
Boise State
Cincinnati
Utah State

How does that compare to Baylor's conference games:
Oklahoma State
Iowa State
Kansas
Texas
TCU
Oklahoma
Kansas State
Texas Tech
West Virgina

If I had some time, we could compare mean and median computer rankings for these conference games (based on this year) and see what it looks like between these two "conference" schedules. Is it a whole lot different?
