I know. Obviously the only way to get ready to knock out Iron Mike is to fight no one but Mike Tyson or his caliber of fighter. Last thing you would want to do is fight a series of lesser boxers to hone your skill and craft and tune yourself up to the big fight. You fight Mike Tyson or no one... Possibly the worst analogy I've seen on this board since Cougarbib.You're not gonna get ready to knock out Mike Tyson by boxing the neighborhood girl scout troop.

Except for one nagging little thing--I made no analogy, I simply pointed out the false dichotomy presented in the previous analogy using the device of satire.How is college football in any way comparable to boxing? If you're referring to your own analogy as being the worst, I would agree.

Except we're not playing a P5 schedule. We are playing an "in between" P5 and G5 schedule.What this move to a "P5 schedule" means is an abandonment of the middle ground goal of making a NY6 bowl--if that weren't ambitious enough. Oh one could argue that it doesn't matte and this is just "preparation" for a P5 inclusion; and as there are few absolutes and dichotomies, let me state some probabilities.
If BYU with a G5 schedule had a 15-20% chance of making a NY6 bowl, BYU with P5 schedules will now have a about a 3% chance at best with team loaded with NFL caliber guys like a Taysom or a Kyle. In other words, kiss NY6 goodbye let alone the even more laughable Undefeated season and NC.
But hey good news: BYU will get to more regularly test itself against the best in the country, as if it didn't already know it is nothing more than a mid-major, P5 wannabe,3rd place team at best in the MWC. I mean seriously. People have lost their heads and any shred of perspective. BYU doesn't recruit team talent to compete in a P5 world and it never will. Oh to chase the fantasy that BYU is good enough and worthy to play in the P5 sandbox.
Well, I guess if the gamble pays off and BYU lands in the only remaining remotely viable option of the Big 12, maybe it's worth it. See you guys soon in a movie called "2015: 6-6" and its sequel, "2016: 5-7."
