I think people underestimate just how important BYU's history, following, fan support, brand name truly are.
BYU is going to surprise some people in a few months. Even last year we were inches from 7-5 (and a chance at 8-5 via a bowl game). Not far off. All position groups (especially on defense and cleaner QB play) are going to take a step forward in 2024. Upsets incoming. 7-5 minimum IMO. LES is going to be rocking and it's going to be very difficult for any team to steal one of those 6 games.
