2Months ago, if you had said this team was capable of 8 wins,

everyone would have seen you as the eternal optimist. Now that is seen as not as much of a stretch.
So far, the Cougs have proven the “realist” fans to not be entirely realistic.
If they can continue to make the big plays and cut down on the mistakes, who’s to say that winning the BXII doesn’t become more realistic?
Co Cougs!

Wow - BYU getting some love

And why wouldn't we? If it's not us, it's KState (Iowa St looked pretty mediocre vs Houston.)

Arizona looked good. Utah is going to be very tough

Yes they looked bad yesterday. Have you watched their other games?

Was a bit shocked by that beatdown, but perhaps we learned from that game — more than anything — that Baylor AND CU

Translative wins are not wins. I’m very optimistic. This team has exceeded

BYU has the hardest schedule in the big12 this year in my opinion.

You think we are winning at Utah?? It's going to take a great game to beat UA.

You do realize we went 5-0 against PAC recently with other P5 wins - sure

It is a monster jump, particularly because the expectation for this team was so

Ozymandias

PAC to Big12 is a jump but not that big

To be fair, it looks like most of the Big12 is flawed.

Arizona’s QB is the real deal. Don’t rule them out

Honestly, my opinion of AZ went up more than that of Utah went down.

Madam Pattirini

AZ is undefeated in conference play. The game with KState was considered non-conference.

PJMort

7:00am

Sure. It's still one of few data points.

Madam Pattirini

Interestingly Retzlaff has more yards, TDs, wins, and higher QBR

Retz may be the best qb in the conference. At least this far.

We're in an autobid conference and we're 5-0...you think there's 0% chance???

MaximusMeridius

There’s no such thing as an auto bid conference

10:26am

Pretty sure all P4 conference champs and the highest ranked G5 CC are all locks.

Oscar Bluth

If you're being literal sure, but in practice the P4 conferences are auto bids

Careful—that’s quite a commitment.

1 week? Why not just 2 hours like everyone else?

5 weeks ago you would have said the exact same thing about 5-0.

But what will you do with a burrito?

We don't currently have the offense to win the conference...but it can improve.

5-0 is better than we could have hoped for. I'll take that miracle.
