1 or 2 things:
1) that no other team you play will also be one year better, or
2) that your coaches are THAT much better that your “one year better” will be bettet than your opponents “one year better”
I’ll let you guys argue if BYU coaches are that much better than other Big12 coaches.
I don’t mind the argument that the schedule will lighten up. Thats 100% true.
I think8 is the ceiling for BYU next season, and 7 is highly likely. Just give us a legit reason for it; i.e. much easier schedule and road Big12 games being much easier. 2/3 OOC wins. Win 3-4 home games in conference. And 2+ on conference road games. 3 if they beat Utah. Baylor and Arizona State are sooooo bad. UCF is a long travel for BYU.
Some games depend on hires, for example Kansas OC and Houston HC.
