BYU beat Wisconsin in Madison last year and should have beaten both Utah and BSU
If they are very much improved from last year, it’s not unreasonable to expect 1–2 wins from the first four games.

Sadly this team could be very improved and still start out 0-4

I can tell you exactly how the first 4 games will go:

I'd take 2-2 and victory over Utah in a heart beat. Probably is I'm having

I think they win one of the 3 home games against BCS foes.

Nor is 2-2 or even 3-1 out of the question. Quit building the case that, yeah

I think most unbiased observers expect BYU to start 0-4

S&P and FPI expect you to go 1-3.

They expect BYU to lose each ind. game but the odds are that they steal 1.
TrueAggieBlue

That is where I think it ends up.

8/15/19 10:49am
2-2 is also more likely than 0-4 even w/ us considered "underdogs" in all 4.

Yep. 32/30% v. 17/19% (FPI/S&P)

Most odds/predictions from unbiased sources I've seen seem to expect a 1-3 start

Taken individually BYU will be an underdog in their first four games

The team will be better but have worse record than last year - my stupid opinion
ag4cougs
8/15/19 10:40am
That is a very real possibility. But will fans give KS credit for that?

I really think the fairest way to evaluate KS
Goatnapper'96

I think that is pretty reasonable. BYU not only needs to win the backend games
mudpupper

If we have a worse record. he definitely should not come back. That would be a losing season with 4 usual gimmies

Credit for what? Fans didn’t want moral victories when we were winning 8–9 games

I heard this last year as well (against FBS schools).

Yep, I heard a lot of 0-4 predictions last year and we went 2-2.

Which is exactly why I’m not buying that we can be improved and go 0-4.

Great BYU teams don’t go 6-6. Sorry.

No great team at any school goes 6-6. No good team goes 6-6.

Great BYU teams don't play the top end teams that BYU will play this year

We're not a great team if we go 6-6. Good would even be debatable.

Based on ESPN's FPI ratings, there is only ~17% probability that we start 0-4.

FALSE. You lose 4 in a row, you are not good. Even against good competition.

0-4 ain't happening. Stop it. These posts happen every year and it never happens

Several P-5 programs could go 0-4 through this.

I will look at 1-4 as hug victory. I think Tennessee gives BYU its best
