Are any of you limp-wrister posters able to conceive the respect and admiration we could have garnered had we scheduled at least 1 storied program and beaten the piss out of them? Anybody?

Art had us rolling and while he could not inject enough discipline to go undefeated, we would not have had to hang our heads when we boasted of rolling up 70 points on patsies.

Your mindset is still perplexing to me. We lose one game to Oklahoma State in Stillwater and another game to West Virginia in Morgantown, WV. and were still conference champions. Does not matter if we play Texas State at our house or Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Most people outside of Baylor will not care or even bother to set their DVR to record. Baylor has a very tough road ahead and I just hope they can find a way to compete. We shall see what happens. Once again, it takes us three or four games to score seventy points. It is what it is.

---

Of course it is perplexing for you and your type. You seek the path of least resistance and then crow like you are Alabama or Ohio State.

We won 1 conference championship and tied for another one. With TCU.

Nobody sets their DVR because we were labeled as pretenders. Few programs or fans respected us outside the state of Texas because of our weak scheduling scheme.

We scheduled like Ian looked!!!!!!

Maybe we won't have to score 50,60 or 70 to win in the future with a real defense, real special teams and REAL discipline.

I would not have thought the mayor of the laundry mat district would know that Briles and company were clueless about how the business side of scheduling worked.

We didn't get in the playoff because we blew off the CFP owner when they asked the teams to schedule better.
They weren't rewarding those who took it upon themselves to ignore the owner. It doesn't work that way.

Im going to go exercise my wrists so I can post better and we can have a better schedule.

Other than that I did despise our previous OOC schedule. Win or loose get a series with one decent program and one traditional power at least. By then no one wanted us on their schedule to avoid embarassment so granted, it wasn't a simple task.

Yes, definitely some discipline issues. But also some s*****y turn of events and mental mistakes as in the OSU game after





I still refuse to post with my nads, tho. Thats just weird. /s

"And with an real defense, real special teams and REAL discipline", we could still lose 3-0. "We won 1 conference championship and tied for another one. With TCU." Your glass is definitely half empty. Few programs or fans respected us outside the state of Texas because of our weak scheduling scheme. I see it a different way. We looked bad outside the state of Texas because we were "Scrubby Baylor". Translation, no matter how we couldn't win. Talked with many friends around the country who wouldn't give BU the time of day. After the Washington game, started to get calls re: great offense and the enjoyment of watching the game. BU was picking up steam against the headwinds. Also, some were calling me re: over-and-under bets. Told them to take the over and let it ride. For both league and non-league games. Received many THXs. No they are off the board. Finally, as I digested this post, I can't help but feel there are those who believe perfection should rule the day. Well guess what? Perfection will never be good enough with perfectionists. Case in point 3-0.

Baylor and others have to do more with scheduling. It's a beauty contest. You best follow the wise advice of the CFP owners. When they want Baylor to schedule better, they ll mean it.

Alabama had FSU, which was a better OOC opponent than anything during Briles big 5 year run (2011-2015), and, in addition, Fresno State was a better opponent than anything Baylor had during the same period other than 2011 G5 TCU. As a result, technically, Alabama's 2017 OOC lineup was tougher than anything Baylor has seen in years - since about 2008.

Thee's point appears to be that as great as it was that Baylor won 50+ games over 5 years, good wins in the regular season could have set Baylor up for a higher ranking entering bowl season and more recognition which would have led to better bowls and opponents than 2011 Washington (6 loss), 2012 UCLA (5 loss), 2013 UCF (CFP - 1 loss), 2014 Michigan State (CFP - 1 loss), 2015 UNC (3 loss) etc.

Marginal wins? You know they ll win convincingly. Of course, they won't be celebrating those wins.

Looks remarkably similar to our non conference scheduling. They play one less conference game and stick in a P5 opponent.

A couple of things:

1. 9 conference games versus OOC P5 games - Outside of the TV partners, no one, including the CFP Committee, cares if a conference chooses to play 9 conference games instead of 8, while, in contrast, none of the 16 teams that have made the CFP were able to do so without playing a P5 OOC and the same can be said about the 6 teams that played for a BCS title during 2011-2013.

2. The impact of no CCG - The Big 12 did not have a conference title game during the 2011-2016 period unlike every other P5, and, as a result, the Big 12 champion, controlling for its regular season OOC opponent, would almost always have a weaker schedule/resume than another P5 champion due to missing out on built in ranked opponent at the end of the season. Because of that additional weakness, it was paramount that any Big 12 team that was serious about competing for anything meaningful in the postseason schedule for that OOC, and, even if Baylor's future schedules for that period were all already completed in 2011, it had plenty of opportunities to cancel games against G5s and replace them with P5s.

The takeaway: Baylor did not get bonus points for playing a 9 conference game schedule although it could have received bonus points for playing a P5 OOC, and, in addition, Baylor's big 5 year run had a legacy of OOC wins only over 2011 Washington, 2012 UCLA, and 2015 ranked UNC. In regard to the latter, here are the OOC P5 wins for a program that arrived in 2010 but won 50+ games during the same 2011-2015 seasons ("Ranked" meaning ranked in final AP poll):

2011 ranked Georgia
2012 TCU
2013 ranked Stanford
2014 ranked Baylor
2015 ranked Oregon

What's more impressive and/or nationally relevant? Above or below?

2011 Washington
2012 UCLA
2015 ranked UNC

Bama plays Louisville this year as their 9th P5 game along with three JUCOs.

Louisville is a border-line bowl team this year.

I know OOC teams are scheduled years in advance, but this year's Bama schedule is very Baylor-esk.

It would figure a guy who would take $15 million and claim he was framed under very public circumstances and a ribbon clerk athletic director would have their people defending our schedule by bringing up Alabama. Alabama also plays the toughest conference schedule and it is obvious if you watch the NFL draft.
Alabama earned that respect in post season and in the regular season. Heck, their coach wants Power 5 only to play Power 5. Let Houston and Memphis types battle for the light weight championships.

Alabama gets a kitchen pass. They've won more National Championships than we have conference titles.

Do you delusional slaps really compare our program to Alabama?

Winning football games is true. For programs like Baylor, TCU and other .500 programs you need to impress somebody with more than just track meet offense that still manages to lose a game or two.

It is a beauty pageant.
The former regime and the ribbon clerk were all about getting us a game to played during the middle of the night in Australia while they should have been signing up some competition for prime time tv at AT&T in Arlington.
Instead, Cal signed up Hawaii and we appeared to everyone important to be jerking around ESPN, the guys who own all the bowls and playoff.
Thus, we endured Bear's game day skit to tell the world we defined limp wristed scheduling and dodging competition.
Last season revealed what was left on defense was 1-11. The tankers and tweeters left us a burned up house with social media memories.

Bama would have been the last team I picked to bring up a schedule. They have been playing a marquee match for about 15 years out of conference. Could have been Baylor v Alabama. Instead we got Lamar (a team that had previously played NAIA Bacone College).

Timbear said:

And Rhule, making $4M, had nothing to do with 1-11? Snow, with a defense not even designed to be able to be executed successfully in year one (stupid and hard headed) deserves no blame?

---

Please, that is a complex defense. You have to be able to read it too. It is definitely an adult defense. Not points per possession nonsense.
Gil knew Baylor played very short corners. It wasn't hard to implement a game plan for Gil against Baylor. Confusion and little talent was a disaster.
Timbear, where was all this badass talent you claim we returned? We had safeties running 4.8 40s. It's so unbelievable, it is almost funny because it is so sickening.

I hope the new athletic director gets a few more marquee games by adding a Power 5
The idea do strip the down the program to the studs was a risky way but most effective to cleanhouse.

If we don't go bowling this year it won't be hard to schedule the Alabama's of the world. They'll salivate scheduling us.

They were salivating to play us in Texas. You think they would have ran away from Baylor and missed out on scheduling another game in the state of Texas?
We could have been the new Oregon for tv but instead we were trying to schedule games 12 times zones away during the middle of the night. Our ribbon clerk was not very innovative to say the least.

No giving up home games to play anybody in Dallas or Houston. In fact, bring Texas Tech back to home and home. No single game away deals with P5 schools either. We should be willing to go anywhere to play at anybody's house, but they need to come to our house to play too.

Alabama only plays one P5 OOC per year, and, aside from Duke in 2018 (Chick-Fil-A Kickoff*), it schedules historically good teams that have notably large fanbases for that slot - FSU 2017, USC 2016, Wisconsin 2015, WVU 2014, VaTech 2013, Michigan 2012, Penn State 2011, Penn State 2010, VaTech 2009, and Clemson 2008, so, assuming that Alabama continues that trend beyond the Duke game, Alabama is not interested in scheduling Baylor because Baylor is neither historically good nor has a large fanbase.

*Alabama does not have as much direct input on its opponent in the Chick-Fil-A Kickoff as it would in other neutral site matchups, and, further, the selection of Duke as the opponent stands out as all of the other teams selected for the Kickoff have been bigger/more successful programs.

From our opponents perspective, how does playing Baylor help them? Using only last year as a gauge, playing Baylor helps my SOS as much as playing SMU. Until we can get out of this losing funk and get back to our winning ways, I find it difficult to have a strong OoC schedule.

I admit, I don't know how it really works but ADs are trying to position their school to be in the playoff - nothing else. I don't see BU on someone's schedule helping them with that cause...today.

I don't see our OOC scheduling changing much and it isn't because we don't want to play with anyone else. They simply won't want to play with us.

I think from opponents perspective it's still a P5. The TCU/Minn game that helped keep us out of playoff comes to mind. Minn wasn't a world beater but by being very competitive and having a decent season it kept us and TcU flipped in the rankings all year.

You have one ****ty year, but considering the national perspective is Baylor being on the up and up and giving Rhule a huge benefit of the doubt for last year helps as well. We, as Baylor fans rightfully so examined last year under a very strong microscope. The National examination was one where ever story started with basically "a program still coming over a vicious sexual scandal/etc/etc". Now if next year is God awful too, yes it'll start the whole Baylor in the basement mentality we were used too.

An easy P5 win for the opponent at that.

Yep. You'd think there'd be dozens of P5s calling to play us to fill their P5 OOC quota.
