predict, I'd imagine, since it would be tough to factor in each team's SOS. For instance, looking at BYU's schedule, we may have some teams perform much worse than expected or much better. Injuries to key players will have a huge effect of course. I'm just saying that I'd predict BYU's record to be higher than what they've predicted based on the players returning and IMO, an upgrade in key coaching areas. I also expect BYU's SOS won't be nearly as strong as last year's partly because we have 5 home B12 games instead of 4 this year.

I also expect the utes' record to be worse than predicted because IMO, they've been able to fatten up their record against overrated P12 teams (not that their record has been exactly stellar anyway.

We'll see though. I'm looking forward to seeing what Phil Steele's magazine predicts, but that won't be out until June IIRC.
