Rank the remaining games based off of potential to be a "trap game"
1. Kansas: Big Utah game the week before. I could see some hangover. We did loose last year so players will want some revenge but Utah is such a big game.
2. Arizona State: On the road against a good team. Shouldn't overlook, but might if 10-0.
3. Houston: If BYU has already clinched the Big 12 championship game, I could see this game being closer than it should.
4. UCF: I still think this is the game we have the highest potential to lose, but I wouldn't call it a trap game. It is tough to go cross country.
5. Oklahoma State: Players will want revenge from last year. Another game where I think BYU might struggle, but not due to overlooking the opponent. OSU had a bye week and BYU is on a short schedule.
6. Utah: Rivalry game. No overlooking here.

What is interesting to me is that none of these games actually feel like trap game potential. They all have reasons for BYU to show up. Whether that be loses last year, good teams, or rivalries, there is not one game I am truly worried about BYU overlooking. Kansas maybe, but that game is at home and BYU lost last year.
