History in 2025. My guess is #10. Outside of making the CFP, this was the best case scenario for BYU. They get most of their players and depth back, they destroyed Colorado in front of a huge audience, and plugged in key gaps through recruiting and transfer portal.

ASU taking Texas to the wire and the weakness of the ACC also is beneficial to the Cougars. The underperformance of blue bloods outside of the CFP is also helping BYU's perception.

The hype train will be rolling through Provo this off-season.

This truly was best case scenario outside of the playoff this off-season.
