indicative of SMU being a good team, if SMU wins... If you want to see negative you will find the evidence you want. If you want to remain positive you will find reasons to be positive.

Amazing how a 3 point win @ SMU has changed perceptions of this team.

We'll learn how good SMU is this Saturday when TCU plays @ SMU.

Even more crazy is how unimpressed some BYU fans are at BYU beating a P4 team on the road as a 2 score underdog.

True, I forgot how big of a P4 powerhouse SMU is.

Is that what I said or did I say we beat a P4 team on the road as a 2 score underdog? Stay focused.

Socrates is doing his best to try to calm Plato down.....with little success.

You definitely made the implication. Why else would you say P4 team?

Plato

Sep 18, 11:46am

Because they’re in a P4 conference. Isn’t that the definition?

First year in P4 is different than a team that has been recruiting in a P4 for

HUGE recruiting difference between a 1st year P4 team and a 2nd year P4 team. 🫤

I think he reads fine, it’s the comprehension part that’s tough for some.

Great win and super fun to be there. Not sure how much it means yet.

SMU could be a really good team or they could be awful. It’s too soon to tell.

Pretty sure the really good team is not a possibility, but they

Why not? They have a lot of talent.

Just seems very unlikely given their results through three games.

I peg you as a guy who sees the glass as half empty. 🙂

And are you judging that as a negative? Would seem pessimistic 😉

Nah - I see the glass as too big! 😬😎

Nice! I enjoy challenging the paradigm on this one. If my goal is to drink what

Well I think they aren’t good at all. I believe we are but SMU sucks

From preseason I thought, if we get that W at SMU, we go bowling. There are

That is what I thought last year when BYU got 5 wins 🙂

Yeah, that does still have me worried, but I'm hopeful.

Counterpoint. How we played in all 3 games is taken into account.

Blueto

Sep 18, 11:39am

SMU's best RB is out against TCU, so that hurts their chances against TCU

CLCougar

Sep 18, 11:40am

Broader view, BYU has significantly outplayed expectations (see spreads) in 3 straight games

kccougar

Sep 18, 11:41am

SMU statically had the best defense we’d see this year

kapcreations

If people expected 5 wins and a loss to SMU, expecting 6 wins now

I don't think beating SMU is the only available datapoint.

Absolutely curious to see how SMU does this week, since they had been scoring

I am most curious to see their QB situation.
