    NCAA makes no restrictions. But it's not that easy to schedule as an independent. Everyone knows we're desperate.

      I can't remember, are there any automatic qualifiers for the 4 playoff spots? It is all done by committee now, no? Is the BCS formula dead after this season?
      I don't think any undefeated team has been left out of the top 4 in the polls (maybe Hawaii?). So I think there is a good chance that an undefeated BYU with a mediocre schedule gets a playoff bid. It would probably take Boise and TExas having reasonable years though.

        That seventh home game would obviously be a lousy opponent, but at least it is another home game and a chance to pad the W-L. We would basically pay teams to lose to us in our stadium, a la the SEC...or maybe the Utah Utes conference games.

          I believe it is up to the whims of Condi Rice and Archie Manning.

            We're already doing 2:1's like with Notre Dame and Texas so we need the extra game with lousy opponent just to get us to 50:50.

We're also going to demolish Boise St. next year, which will be the second year in a row that happens.
              Your unbridled optimism is not enough to pick up your fellow fans after a win, let alone a loss, despite the best efforts of DDD and his lifted ceiling.

                Lots of undefeated teams have been left out of the top 4 even after bowl wins. Those include 2 that BYU played 2 years in a row in bowl games.

                  Watch out FN, because your Broncos are about to get run over the next two meetings by the kid from their own backyard. You let this Noble Son of the 208 escape, and now all you can do is beg for his mercy!!!

                        I don't see how the O line wouldn't be improved with Kearsley, DeOndre Wesley, Matthews, and Tayo there.

                          Kearsley is going to lead the nasty next year. he has the disposition and it's going to rub off on the entire group. They are going to wreck bitches.

                              You gotta think Texas and Boise are the only ones that look like even possibles. Wow.

                              I thought the mean old Pac 12 and their anti-Mormon bigotry would not allow Pac teams to play BYU in November?
