Hopefully BYU can prove the pundits wrong. Win 8 and they're all good.

uu now has a bigger target on their back (and an easier schedule). BYU needs to step up. I'm hoping for another 1996! BYU wasn't expected to do as well as they did. 1995 was so meh.

BYU 13th in Big12 preseason poll

I think we'll be better than CU, but the rest it's hard to argue being better

I would also put Utah at 3 or 4

I love seeing the utes picked to finish first though. It's more fun later when they're crying and making excuses.

I see: BYU > ASU, BYU > Cincy, BYU > Houston, BYU > AZ (yes, AZ won't beat BYU),

It's not just Alabamas we would lose to. 75% of our schedule is ISU's and WVU's that ragdolled us last year

Whew. Luckily, we are playing this season. Also,

I agree the conference will have more parity. BYU will be in the group of 4-5 teams that aren't in the hunt though

2 spots higher than what I expected

Good. Bulletin board material. Also Utah tends to underachieve

BYU '80

No, data says otherwise.

Not seeing that. Also if the argument is about appearances in the poll

BYU '80

Jul 2, 12:34pm

Consistently CFP ranked more than all but 7 teams in CFB. If underachieving,

Utah honestly has no excuse not to win the championship.

I mean, except for the fact that they’re about as good as several other teams

There is a learning curve w/Utah that goes both ways. Will be a 3-4 team race.

Good. Low expectations work best.

Whose worse? I thought we’d be last.

So, finish 10th and it’s a good season 😎

And OSU just lost their star RB, correct?

He was charged with DUI. But not off team.

I think BYU is better than Baylor and Colorado and possibly TCU.

Did you decide that during or after the blowout loss to TCU last year?

I changed mid-October last season when it seemed the team gave up.

TCU game is when they gave up IMO. You could see it in their eyes. KS was clearly confused and they never recovered.

They went on vacation during the bye-week before and never came back

Hard to watch the film if you're on vacation or don't have film to watch
