What's new

2014 College Football

East Carolina was good last year though. Beat a ranked team on the road and nearly beat Florida and South Carolina.
 
I feel like there's this mentality that now that BYU has actually started scheduling really good teams, being INDY is gonna be ok. Don't get me wrong, it's a great start, but you still gotta win those games. These games aren't going to help you much if you're getting 5 or 6 wins per year and still not in a conference.

I disagree.
Why do you feel that there is a mentality that suddenly being independent is ok for byu.
All the fans I know still want to get into a conference

Not so much a blanket statement on fans such as yourself. I get that there are still a lot of BYU fans that "get it". However, when these series are being announced, I'm seeing a lot of BYU fans I work/live with and the ones taking to the internet basically celebrating the fact that they are considered a P5 by these power conference schools that are willing to schedule home-and-homes with them.

Again, I will agree that getting these games scheduled is a huge thing for BYU. However, I think it's not even half the battle. It's not beyond reason that you guys lose to Nebraska, UCLA, Boise St, Michigan, Missouri, and Utah St next year. That's 6 losses, and while you may win 1 or 2 of those games, maybe you drop 1 to a Cincy or East Carolina who are somewhat decent programs. What does 6 or 7 wins get you from now on year in and year out? Nothing that you don't already have.

I get that getting into a P5 conference is still the goal, but right now, that seems a few years away at the least. How are BYU fans going to handle .500 seasons in the mean time?
 
They aren't going to be .500 any time soon as long as they have QBs, and the QB pipeline looks really good.
