The Nebraska game is a one-time, neutral field game. Texas was a 2-for-1. Notre Dame has not back out, although the next 4 games haven't been set yet.
Yes some of the most recent announcements were UMass and USF, but unless you expect them to play 12 P5 teams every year they are going to mix it up a bit.
They have home-and-homes set with Washington, Arizona, Utah and Cal with 2-for-1s with USC and Stanford. They have a neutral game "at" Missouri with a home game later. So basically a home-and-home with an SEC team. And the have two games left in a 2-for-1 with Wisconsin. And they are in the middle of a huge home-and-home series with Boise State through the end of the decade.
Yes, it's not perfect. But even after the SEC said they won't count them as a power team they landed the Missouri series. Yes, there's concern that Missouri and Notre Dame could back out before games in Provo are played. But at this time, it's just a concern and not a fact. The schedule is a mix, but if you look at any one season it's a pretty good mix.
So do you think that if they ever make it through a season undefeated they will have a shot at the playoffs? Or will the committee punish them for being independent?
I don't think they make it this year. They had an extremely weak schedule. I don't think they even make the top 10 this year.I think the committee will punish them a lot, but an undefeated BYU teams has a decent shot at it at least. BYU is a name brand enough to move up into the Top 5 and 10 of the rankings when they are winning, so if they go undefeated they could get in, but maybe not if there are other undefeated teams, or even 4 teams with 1 loss who are considered very strong one year. BYU had a good chance at getting in this year though, if they were undefeated.

You said no one is talking about it nationally. I am saying ESPN is talking about it.Sorry, but I have no idea what your comment about seeing it on ESPN 3 times is supposed to mean.
When you try and stand for something, people take that as putting yourself on a pedestal. Even if we know that we're no better than anyone else and are full of flaws like everyone else. But because we verbalize that we try to aspire to something better, we put ourselves on a pedestal. It's what happens, regardless if that's our intention or not. And every mistake that we make is magnified more than bigger mistakes made by anyone else.
Aww yes the persecution complex. Was wondering when you would fall back to that, every BYU fan knows it well.I apologize (for all normal BYU fans) for whoever you talk to that is constantly saying that other teams are classless. As a fan, I never hear anyone say that. But you do,and that's what matters. So I apologize for the fans you converse with who say that, because that's not right. Then again, I've never heard anyone call BYU "The Lord's school" but people tell me they constantly hear that as well. So I guess I just talk to different people.
I'm sorry that his having firesides causes you such trouble.
I'm sorry that his bringing up a Book of Mormon story in his first press conference as head coach has been such trouble for you the past 10+ years.
