It's a rule of thumb I used to avoid getting too high of expectations
Given the chaos, I do think we'll be 15 today, but I still am tempering expectations to not move up too much because I know the history with Furlong. We're not likely to be ranked overall higher than he has us

Also, if we want to be pedantic, I should probably clarify a few things

I said "down a few spots" instead of "down a spot or two" to make things better fit on the subject line.

Similarly, I didn't specify in the subject line that this was a general rule of thumb, rather than a prediction for this week.

Perhaps my subject line should have said "100%. Given historical precedence, a good rule of thumb, when assessing where BYU will generally be ranked in the AP Poll, is to consider where Furlong has them ranked in that specific week and then consider that the likely ceiling for BYU's rank in the corresponding weekly AP Poll, with the high probability that BYU will actually be ranked a spot or two lower".

My apologies for my imprecise language in a message board subject line
