Do those numbers consider Sitake blinking?

It has all the negative CB offseason comments baked in

What about all of his buddies he's hired?

Oh man. If he'd only hired people he didn't know, BYU would have won 10 out of 8

It really is crazy. A few talent upgrades on D but no drastic changes in

I'm starting to think that the last 5 games of last year were more fluky than we

People got the idea we were bad, but we almost beat Oklahoma and Oklahoma St.

We also got boat-raced vs. ISU, TCU, WV & Texas...it's not like the idea came

Oh no! We lost by 29 to the #7 team in the country. The horror!

Rise Against

I have had similar thoughts. Unless a team is really bad tho the difference

FPI is generally a whack ranking system.

FPI predicted 8 wins for BYU in 2022, 5 wins in 2023

It doesn’t have us in the top 25 right now. I find that to be whacky.

In other words, their model is almost certainly not as good as they think it is
