Two guys on the Cyclone Fanatic podcast just predicted BYU 0-4 in next 4

Were your friends in the ISU student government in 2016?

Probably

That's not all that unreasonable...on the harsh side, but certainly possible.

Anything >0% chance is possible. It’s not probable though.
mulletino
11:32am
Well, Arizona is currently favored by 1.5 pts, Utah and UCF are likely to be
NOCAL_YFAN
11:37am
We’ve beaten the spread, I believe, by an average of 17.4 pts per game.
mulletino
11:41am
A fact oddsmakers are well aware of in the setting of the current odds.
NOCAL_YFAN
11:47am
Yet each passing game they’re chosen to lose.
mulletino
12:28pm
Yeah, but apparently they suck at predicting how this team will do.

The spreads don't get all set at the beginning of the year. Bettors have more
Tricky

I know. Yet here we are with another expected loss according to the line makers and bettors. I'd say the chances are

Why would UCF be favored? They lost to CU and CU beat Baylor. We just beat

We have to go to Florida to play UCF. Home field advantage & travel and the

Well yeah, FPI does say we have a 5% chance of going 0-4 in the next 4 games . .

What chance did FPI give us to go 5-0 at start of the year? I don’t 0-4 in the

FPI is a joke at the beginning of the season basing it on last year. Anyone

Understandable considering what ISU did to us last year

Such a pathetic game. Left w/ just a couple minutes left & apologized for not giving them a better game passed ISU fans.

What gripe would Iowa State fans have with BYU?

Who says they have a gripe? Could be objective analysis.

He said that many of his Cyclone friends were BYU haters...
BYU Fan

oh got it. yeah that is weird.
YOHONOMOTO
11:43am
Maybe they hate BYU for what we did to their basketball team last season
ldssdl

They thought BYU's bball team was a paper tiger last year as well, haha

Think they're just trying project their own desires to eliminate who they see as

This is probably a part of it

Iowa state was the loudest voice against BYU joining in 2016
CycloneCoug
11:53am
A few loud voices in student government, where stupid voices are amplified.

I was on campus when whole student organizations held an anti-BYU rally
CycloneCoug

Isn’t paper tiger a term used for someone over-rated but can’t back it up?
MHOP
11:36am
They’re projecting them to be a paper tiger
CycloneCoug
11:54am
their point is we will be exposed as such going forward and that we only beat weak teams so far

Is that for the whole season, or the first 5 games?

For the first 5 games. It grades how a team has performed relative to

Thanks - that's great to hear

I don't know how you could say that with how our defense has looked.

There's was no paper involved in BYU's trouncing of KSU or wins @ SMU & Baylor

BYU is a good home team, I wonder how we do on the road

Although we are 5-0, I also worry about dropping the next 4 games.

We could go 0-4. I don't think we will, but we've lost 4 in a row before.
IronPotato

5 percent chance if you believe FPI. 6 percent chance of winning them all.
bythenumbers
1:30pm
We could go 0-4, 1-3, 2-2, 3-1, or 4-0
runningryan

If I were yewt, I would say we could go 5-0 over our next 4 games.
Pangare

Does anyone think we’ll have more than 8 wins?
stoils
1:35pm
I do. I think 9. plus a potential bowl win. I see us winning Houston and Kansas
BYU-Ite
1:53pm
ESPN is predicting 9.3 wins and that is where I am at, about 9 wins
Projectoor
1:58pm
Pretty much every computer model has doubled the predicted wins to about 9

This is what the BYU football team wants more people to doubt them
BulldogCoug79
1:51pm
I seriously doubt that we lose at home to both Arizona and Oklahoma State.
WillsPitStop
1:54pm
EVERY one of those 4 games are very lose-able. But we are HARDLY a paper tiger. We'll go 4-for-4 before we go 0-for-4.
SinkingQuffa

Assuming independence, 6.3% chance going 4-0, 5.2% chance going 0-4

I'd be more worried about Baylor this Saturday. I don't think ISU survives.
Corn

Here's the reality, BYU could lose every one of the next 4 games, however...
lbmango

Odds are we go anywhere from 1-3 to 3-1 over our next 4 games.
jreid191

Find me 2 guys from any podcast who didn't think we'd only have 4 wins total before the season started.....

Of course it's possible. BYU hasn't exactly over performed in October. Just hope they're not right & team is
Soupie

To make that kind of prediction just shows they either dislike BYU or have no real knowledge of CFB

BYU could go 0-4 lol
