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

Anything >0% chance is possible. It’s not probable though.

Well, Arizona is currently favored by 1.5 pts, Utah and UCF are likely to be
NOCAL_YFAN
10/1/24 11:37am
We’ve beaten the spread, I believe, by an average of 17.4 pts per game.
mulletino
10/1/24 11:41am
A fact oddsmakers are well aware of in the setting of the current odds.
NOCAL_YFAN
10/1/24 11:47am
Yet each passing game they’re chosen to lose.
mulletino
10/1/24 12:28pm
Yeah, but apparently they suck at predicting how this team will do.

Technically they are not trying to predict the winner, they are trying to

Yes. The people betting and thereby controlling the spread apparently suck at predicting how this team will do. So when

You're really working hard to make the negative case. The odds makers don't

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

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

Fair enough, point conceded

10/1/24 6:48pm
We ain’t losing to OK State at home. Have you seen them? They’re terrible.

Understandable considering what ISU did to us last year
Huge Manatee
10/1/24 11:32am
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.

oh got it. yeah that is weird.
YOHONOMOTO
10/1/24 11:43am
Maybe they hate BYU for what we did to their basketball team last season

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

Iowa state was the loudest voice against BYU joining in 2016
CycloneCoug
10/1/24 11:53am
A few loud voices in student government, where stupid voices are amplified.

Isn’t paper tiger a term used for someone over-rated but can’t back it up?
MHOP
10/1/24 11:36am
They’re projecting them to be a paper tiger
CycloneCoug
10/1/24 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?
Tricky

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
10/1/24 12:52pm
5 percent chance if you believe FPI. 6 percent chance of winning them all.
bythenumbers
10/1/24 1:30pm
We could go 0-4, 1-3, 2-2, 3-1, or 4-0

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
10/1/24 1:35pm
I do. I think 9. plus a potential bowl win. I see us winning Houston and Kansas
BYU-Ite
10/1/24 1:53pm
ESPN is predicting 9.3 wins and that is where I am at, about 9 wins
Projectoor
10/1/24 1:58pm
Pretty much every computer model has doubled the predicted wins to about 9

I seriously doubt that we lose at home to both Arizona and Oklahoma State.
WillsPitStop
10/1/24 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
10/1/24 1:55pm
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.

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.

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
