Interesting stat from Jay Drew

You don’t seem to understand journalism. He was pretty close on the score.

It’s referring to 9-0 BYU at home this week vs Kansas. Not Utah away last week.

Isn't that by definition several 50-50 calls go your way? It's only meaningful

Right! Author seems to say they all went to BYU. Obviously didn’t watch.

Sagarin has BYU at 19 and just a few-points favorite of Kansas.

Drew should let us know if one of the 66 teams with a losing record lost by 2 points to a ranked team at its place

Oddsmakers know BYU… which is why they’re 7-2 against the spread and already have twice as many wins as oddsmakers said

I think it's going to be a tough game. Kansas is starting to play like everyone

Other things give us 7 pts. alone, i.e. playing in the Cougarnacle...at night...
