BYU is only a few spots ahead of Kansas in the analytics ratings
So the real question which needs to be answered is why that is.
Preseason ratings have worn off, so that isn’t the driver of what’s going on here.

It's really difficult to overcome low preseason expectations. If BYU started the year ranked as high as Utah did, BYU

they assume you have to have a roster full of 5 star players to win

Perfectly illustrates preseason based on brand shaping the whole process with nothing but smoke & mirrors.

There is brand bias for sure. But it's more than that. Team talent based

Or when you don't blow anyone out and have a sense of a "lucky" team.

This is wrong - Look at Indiana vs BYU

That's part of the difficulty. You have to blow lots of teams out. I didn't say it was impossible.

BYU is doing fine. The #3 spot is ours if we win out, and there's no reason to

At this point they figure they'll look like geniuses if it ever happens.

I don't think they hate BYU. Apathy can be worse than hate at times.

Yes, but FPI carries previous year(s) success at all points.. never goes away

And my contention is it has so little impact that it isn’t the difference between being 6th and 28th

You’re probably right. But I still hate any metric that rewards historical…

The reason it’s in there is because it’s been empirically found to provide more accurate forecasts

Sagarin has BYU at 19 and Kansas at 28, a difference of 4 points. In Sagarin

This is amazing. We are 9-0 and still disrespected. The team thrives off that.

It is hard to go undefeated. They feel it is like flipping coins. Hit 9 heads in

If our defense plays like they did against SMU, K-State & UCF

Funny how the top team has only one player in Big 12 top 25 players. Of course

Not surprising. We gotta admit we been lucky. And looked bad against utah

The BYU offense is on the verge of a breakout game. We need another 500 yard

Kansas could very well be that game. Their defense is "meh".

Hard to RUTS on an elite defense (Utah) or a team with an elite offense (Kansas)
