CFB teams are made up of young men who sometimes have a difficult time to not become overconfident even if it is subconscious.

Help me out CB....why are some here worried about Oklahoma St?

WJCougar

6:08pm

Because they might beat us.

Plantagenet

6:09pm

But of all the teams.....this is not that much of a worry.

WJCougar

6:09pm

Exactly. I’m more confident in BYU than before, but Pokes in bad mood at home

EM_Puma

6:52pm

And by home, you mean BYU's home, Yes?

It’s what we know

Agreed.

BYU history letting bad teams have thier best game of the year.

germ1

6:10pm

Have we not learned yet that this team don’t care about history

WDaddy

6:12pm

I sure hope they are that team, looks great so far.

germ1

6:14pm

Sure, but all it takes is one week of lackluster prep and focus.

ldssdl

6:34pm

Because we’re weak and would rather say “I told you so” than be let down

Peterbilt

The emotional hedge

NYCougz

Vandy beat Bama… it’s a strange season

Peterbilt

6:10pm

Yep. The better team doesn’t always win in sports.

ldssdl

6:33pm

Upsets happen every week

NYCougz

6:48pm

Vandy is first one out of top 25 this week. They're actually decent this year.

BackPacker

8:19pm

Because even "terrible" teams can give the better teams all they can handle,

Shinshin

6:14pm

Because they had a ton of talent and have underperformed.

macdizzle

You’re kidding, right?

Refugee

Lol....this is not the week to worry

WJCougar

Neither was this:

OK State is actually garbage though. Even their own fans admit it.

Well coached team with a new QB with something to prove coming off a bye week?

NOCAL_YFAN

6:17pm

Not to mention the best running back in the Big12

Any team can beat any team, any week

They have a good coach that has had 2 weeks to prep. He could turn it around -

RGGeemer

6:20pm

Because they are coming out of bye week and we’re coming off a short week

Longseason

6:20pm

Because if you give a head coach like Mike Gundy a bye week he might be able to

RedHeadedStranger

6:20pm

I think I remember hearing that he is 4-0 the last 4 bye weeks.

byubyu

That will come to an end.

Are you new to college football or sports in general?

1 more: cold rainy game could lead to a huge advantage to whoever has the best

RGGeemer

We have seen this movie before and it is usually a slasher

JimmyZ

We’re just staying humble

cmoney

6:28pm

Seriously? Have you never heard of an upset before? Or a trap game?

Players are only human, and if they’re viewing this one the same way you do…

Knight-who-says-ni

7:22pm

It's Gundy. He may use a game like this to spring himself and his team out of

Schrodizzy

7:26pm

This is why I’m worried about it. They still have one of the best running backs

NonmormonYfan89

8:02pm

Are they switching to that highly recruited QB

Haysom Till

7:43pm

I worry about every game.

TRUE_BLUE_COUGY

8:27pm

Honestly....this is the first game since WYO that I am not worried.

WJCougar

8:35pm

Their backs are against the wall. A cornered animal fights. Don’t underestimate

UMass 2017. Stuff happens.

here's to hoping

8:45pm

ESPN only has us winning a 63% chance.

here's to hoping

8:47pm

They beat Arkansas (SOR 29) who just beat #4 Tennessee.

here's to hoping

8:50pm

Oklahoma States SOR is only 4 spots worse than Arizona's SOR.

here's to hoping

8:51pm

If I have to hear this completely irrelevant anecdote one more time…

andrewg3

9:26pm

I knew someone was going to complain about my post. Ok St isn't UMass either.

here's to hoping

10:29pm

NO! Not at all!! Holy selective memory Batman!

andrewg3

11:18pm

And just to further prove my point with actual data…

andrewg3

11:22pm

Oops, make that an 8.5 line now

andrewg3

11:24pm

so you think OSU will just come in and roll over?

mindzeYe

9:32pm

Because Kalani usually has at least one emotional letdown game every year. Also

WillsPitStop

Because I'm old enough to remember UTEP '85.

Ollie Gordon won the Doak Walker award last year. They have massive talent

Kolipoki

There are no easy wins in this conference

Sorry, byu has proved to be a good team but not worrying about a game is

Always good to have a healthy respect for your opponent

Blue Heart

Ok St overcame a 17 point deficit at half to keep us out of a bowl game in 2023.

It’s rare for teams to play great every game, and perhaps just as rare for
