Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

If we really just got a 2:1 with Nevada for November, that's pretty brilliant scheduling, actually.

That is about as good of a 2-1 we could hope for. It is better than I thought we could get. (if true)

Great sign for the continued viability of independence. Something needs to balance the 2:1's with the ND and Texas's of the college football world.

Of note is the bye before the Utah game. Utah plays Oregon State the week before. I'm not sure this will make much of a difference either way. But I'm guessing BYU will be coming off of a loss from Texas two weeks before. Now that 2012 is in the books I get a little more annoyed by it. it was the perfect year to get a win against Boise. Utah was not a good team. I think both are going to be better next year. Will BYU?

So apparently BYU announced the 2013 schedule today. It rates a huge "M'eh" from me. Sad that our season will be over after week 2.

That is a strong November.

WTF?

The combined W-L record of #BYU's 2013 D-1A opponents in 2012 was 87-54 (61.7%) -- the highest win% of any BYU schedule in history.

Only Florida, Missouri and Texas A&M had higher opposition SOS win% than 61.7% in 2012.

8 of #BYU's 11 D-1A opponents in 2013 had a 0.500 season or better in 2012.

What schedule are you looking at? Field hockey?

It's a fabulous schedule. Solid across the board including November and the home schedule. If we could put this together every year, it would mean independence is viable.

Yes, it'll be great watching us go 6-6 next year.

Of course, maybe those tough early games will allow a young team to gel and get ready for a run at a conference champion.... oh. Right.

What's wrong with watching your team face good to great competition week in and week out? Why does it have to be tied to a conference?

Would you complain about probable 6-6 seasons in the Big 12?

OK, so using that logic, I'm guessing you want BYU to schedule the bottom third of the WAC, MWC and Sun Belt instead? We can go 12-0 against them and then we don't have to worry about conference championships as consolation prizes.

I don't see how anyone could be upset with this schedule. It's going to be a blast, regardless of record. Great home schedule, a new roadie for me that I missed last time (@Virginia), and @Notre Dame the Saturday before Thanksgiving.

It's like you people keep forgetting that SJS is the biggest advocate of returning to the MWC. He loves playing bad teams.

Safe to say, if this team is bowl eligible, they will deserve better than the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.
