BYU non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

BYU 1998-2007
Average Rank = 33.5
Gms vs @ v %vs BCS non AA %BCS avW 10+ 10+% T10 T% 0 0%
44 23 20 1 52.3% 27 14 3 61.4% 6.0 17 38.6% 6 13.6% 13 29.5%
NCAA Ranks 45 20 16 29 73 18

Analysis: The Cougars are solidly Top 20 in 3 categories including the telling opponents’ average wins. But those average wins are dropping, as is the number of BCS teams they play. Their usual schedule consists of two or three BCS teams, usually above average or average, and one or two non-BCS teams that are at or below average. They’ve only played three I-AA teams, which is good to see.

Fact: Of the 27 BCS teams BYU has played, 21 have an average wins of 6 or higher. The six that didn’t were in the Pac 10.

Fact: BYU ranks pretty high with 17 of their 44 opponents having a 10+win season in the last five. But another 14 of their opponents had a 9+win season, brining it up to 31 if you go 9+. Solid.

2008 Outlook: Weaker, for both 2008 & BYU, and continuing their trend of scheduling less challenging teams. @ Washington & UCLA are tricky Pac 10 but winnable, @ Utah State isn’t too bad, and I-AA Northern Iowa is easy.
