And SP+ has BYU at 14/14 in the conference, 62nd overall (just behind Kansas).

Based on a combination of their performance last year (which wasn't great) and returning production, I can see why prediction models are pretty bearish on BYU's chances to compete in the Big 12 next year. But computer models mean absolutely nothing and I am optimistic that BYU will exceed those expectations.

These are B12 writers who don't much about BYU, so no big deal

Cincy will be last. New head coach and just lost their returning QB

5/4/23 8:45am

Agreed, Cincy lost a coaching staff and a TON of talent in the portal
