With that being said, I do not think BYU will get to 10 wins this year (even with a bowl win). Do I want them to, you better believe I do. But, I do think they will be better than what people (media and Vegas) predict them to be. I think they will go 7-5 this year. I have not thought as far as the bowl game though. That would depend on who they play.
If they go 5-7 again I will be bummed, but I would rather go into the season with optimism than pessimism personally.
Plus, let us be honest, who would watch AFR if the guys were all doom and gloom about this up-coming season. I would guess little to no one. I would rather them be on the side of the Kool-Aid drinking than not.
But that is my personal opinion so take it for what it is worth.
