I think BYU still has a winning record to this point with Bohanon. I doubt we come back and get that win over OSU the way we did without Ratzlaff, and same could possibly be said of the Utah game this weekend, but I think BYU could have won most of their other games with Bohanon.
So yes, they'd have been a different team with Rising, but I don't think Rising was 100% of who he was prior to his major injury that held him out last season. So even if he hadn't been injured in the Baylor game, there's no guarantee they wouldn't still have a loss or two at this point. But they would absolutely be in top 3 to 4 teams vying for the CCG in Arlington. They wouldn't be running the whole conference though as if the conference is nothing and fully inferior to them. It's on them relying on a freshman to keep them afloat that early in the season when Rising did go back down, and simply mismanaging their QB room at large over the last several years.
