Complete rubbish. BYU's strength of schedule is ranked anywhere from 13-23 depending on whose formula you are using. RIGHT NOW. What don't you understand about that? Quit acting like every BCS teams play Alabama every week. And Georgia Tech is "terrible" because they are 6-3 with the 14th ranked defense in the country? Ummmmmm ok. There are about 80 teams that wish they were that terrible.
Quick question for you:
If you switched Utah's and BYU's schedule, what are their records right now? Let's see:
BYU's schedule:
Virginia - This is a TERRIBLE team. Horrible. Odds are Utah beats them. 1-0
Texas - I'd say Texas beats Utah...BUT, when you consider they had to switch QB's early in the game, I'd put this game at 50/50.
Utah - We all know Utah owns BYU, so 2-0 (with a 50/50)
Midd Tenn - Win. 3-0 (with a 50/50)
USU - Utah actually beat Keaton. Win. 4-0 (with a 50/50)
GT - Ahhh. The great GT that you build up so much. Let's see who they have beaten: Elon Phoenix, Duke, a 3-5 NC, Syracuse, a 2-7 Virginia (snicker), and a losing record ACC Pitt team. Wow. Shaking. Win. 5-0 (with a 50/50)
Houston - win. 6-0 (with a 50/50). I put this as a win for a couple of reasons. 1 - their schedule is Hawaii pathetic. 2 - they lost to you. 3 - Utah, with a healthy Wilson beat Stanford. 4 - Wilson probably doesn't get hurt playing this weak *** schedule.
Boise - Win. Again, BYU didn't have to play their starting QB.
So, if Utah plays BYU's schedule, they are 7-1 or 8-0. Yeah, your schedule is AMAZING. So great, a crappy PAC-12 team might be undefeated with it.
Ok, let's give BYU Utah's schedule:
USU - Probably a loss for BYU. Why, you ask? 1 - Because Keaton plays the whole game. 2 - It's the first game of the year and you freaking lost to Virginia your first game. Hey, let's call it a 50/50 game.
Weber St - Win. 1-0 (One 50/50).
OSU - Loss. They kicked your *** last year, and they are a great passing team, you suck as pass defense, and Utah lost to them. 1-1 (One 50/50 game).
BYU - Loss. You lost this game already. 1-2 (One 50/50 game).
UCLA - Loss. Top 15 team. BYU usually doesn't beat top 15 teams. 1-3 (One 50/50 game)
Stanford - Loss see above. 1-4 (One 50/50 game).
Arizona - Win. They aren't that good. Utah should have beat them and so should you. 2-4 (One 50/50 game).
USC - I'll give this a 50/50 game. Their defense is amazing, their offense was bad that game. Probably ends up a 6-7 or 3-6 game. 3-5 overall.
So, given Utah schedule, which I do believe is ranked #6 right now, and will be #1 by the end of the season, BYU would be 3-5 overall, while Utah would be 7-1 or 8-0.
Like I said, the ND and Wisc games are huge for BYU. If they win, I was wrong. If they lose...they would be beyond terrible in a BCS conference seeing how they would be 2-4 against BCS teams, and their only two wins against a weak GT team (see how FSU keeps dropping in the BCS standings...it's because the ACC is weak) and a Texas team that lost it's QB in the second quarter. Not a good sign for BYU's ability to compete in a BCS conference.
I never understood how hard it was to stay healthy in a BCS league until Utah joined the PAC-12. Utah beat Stanford with a healthy Wilson and had SIX turnovers against UCLA and almost beat them. Utah was very, very good with a healthy Wilson. Wilson got hurt and Utah died. A top 20 offense disappeared. The week to week grind is real, especially when your schedule is LIGHT YEARS tougher than BYU's.
Did you know that the only team BYU has beaten of any significance that kept their starting QB the whole game was Houston? And Houston's best win is a .500 ACC team? And BYU almost lost that game? Yikes.
Like I said earlier, I don't know if BYU fan could handle a BCS conference. What would happen to BYU fan if they lost to Utah every year and didn't make a bowl? Ouch. They would have nothing to hang their hat on.
