VS Kansas; I know Kansas is better than their 3-6 record, and that they just beat #17 ISU, and that BYU is on a HUGE high they have to come down from and prep...... But, Kansas lost to UNLV (at home), West Virginia, and TCU (at home). Also, Kansas has never played in LES, and this will be a cold (for them) game at night. Kansas has to win out to get to a bowl so there's a little more motivation for them there. I think this game will be a little close into the 3rd quarter until BYU pulls away. We give them their 2nd loss by more than one possession, though I don't see a blowout.

@ AZ State; Of the three remaining games, this one scares me the most. Luckily it's sandwiched between two very big games for the Sun Devils, at KSU and at Arizona. AZ may not be good, but it's ASU's superbowl. ASU is already bowl eligible but has almost no chance at the playoff, so they won't be fighting hard for either. I don't know how to score this one.

VS Houston; Despite them doing better this season than most anticipated (they've won three of their last four), they're still not bowl eligible. They need two more wins and have to play at AZ, vs Baylor, then at BYU. I can see them losing both games before they come to Provo, or winning both.... They haven't been in Provo for a decade, the cold and high elevation is not going to help them. I don't see it as very likely, but they could be 4-7 with no motivation and end up just rolling over for us.... While not a pushover, this is the easiest win of our remaining games in my mind.

With all this said, one game at a time...

GO COUGS!!
