Non-Conference Scheduling rumors

[TripletDaddy]

Right now the scheduled 2013 home games are:

Texas
Georgia Tech
Boise State

That is a nice home gig. Adding Utah would be a nice move, as well.

This thread is not about Jake Heaps.

Thanks thread mummy.

[Do Not Want!]

ALL threads are about Jake Heaps!

No. Some are about Riley Nelson.

ALL threads are about Jake Heaps -- especially the Riley Nelson ones.

On the pros and cons of BYU being an independent in football (the Cougars went 10-3 and beat Tulsa in the Armed Forces Bowl in their first season as an independent): "We can play whoever, wherever we want. That's a double-edged sword, though. It is hard to schedule."

On whether, given the changing landscape of conference affiliations, fans can plan on having BYU in the WCC for a long time: "Nobody knows. ... We've got to take care of the football program. ... It's not like it's the 800-pound gorilla in the room. We've discussed it with (WCC Commissioner) Jamie Zaninovich and other administrators."

East Carolina for two games in 2017-18. Good, bad or indifferent?

Somewhat indifferent. Moderately good if it is in the back half of the season. Neutral to bad if it is in the front half of the season.

Incredibly indifferent. ECU does NOTHING for BYU.

I reserve the right to change my mind if this game becomes the 7th or 8th "best" game of the year. If it's one of the top games, then uggh.

If it gives us a degree of separation from Idaho, SJSU or NMSU, I'm very happy. ECU has had its share of competitive teams over the last decade, including being ranked on several occasions.

Besides it throws guys like Tim a frickin bone as far as being able to attend a BYU football game.

Good. Between now and the end of the 2018 season, there are 84 football games to play. It's good to get teams on the schedule, and they all can't be Texas or Oklahoma.

Since 2 of them are texas or oklahoma, I dont think we should be worried about them all being texas or oklahoma.

Washington State and Oregon State every year.

Good, bad or indifferent?

I do agree that it is better than the crap WAC teams, but it still isn't going to take us where they (well, I anyway) want them to go. It's a fine game in and of itself, but if future schedules are filled with these types of games, it means nothing. I could totally see 3-4 BCS teams and then a bunch of CUSA teams. That doesn't cut it.

Yes, that may be "better" than what we have had in the past, but times have changed. I want BYU to execute at a higher level (not just on the playing field) and not just settle for "well, it's a little better than before!".

If 2013 and 2014 are any guide, there are going to be plenty of BCS teams on our future schedules. There are even 5 BCS teams on our 2012 schedule, plus Boise State.
