Some talking heads need to do some historical research…. It might surprise some that BYU has an all time winning record vs current SEC teams. They have matched up 24 times and BYU won 14 and lost 10. But what is remarkable about that is that 13 of the 24 games were true road games and BYU was 7-6 in those road games. BYU all time is 4-2 against Texas, 2-1 vs Oklahoma, 1-0 vs Ole Miss, 2-2 vs Mississippi State, 1-0 vs Missouri, 1-1 vs Arkansas, 1-0 vs Tennessee, 2-1 vs Texas A&M. BYU is 3-1 vs current SEC in neutral site games. BYU is 4-3 in home games vs SEC. 24 games is a good sample size representing almost 3 full regular season conf games (8 games each), with BYU winning almost 60% of those games with 13 of the 24 on the road. Most of those games were when BYU was independent or in a G5 league with recruiting classes in the 60’s. Now in a P4, with those additional resources and top 20 recruiting classes, BYU is a growing powerhouse. At 22-3 over the last 2 seasons, the sports world needs to wake up to the new reality that is BYU being elite. The powers that be trying to hold that beach ball underwater may tell you more about their worry of the inevitability of BYU disrupting the CFP narrative and having to give up those SEC spots.
