Excellent. Underestimate BYU at your peril.

New coaching staff, young players. I can see why they voted us low. Looking

As great as the talent on the team is (players AND coaches) we shouldn't be

Schultz is back

That's crazy given we were 5th last year and have improved in every way.

It's not though. I bet the votes for 6-9 are close

Most coaches from the NBA struggle compared to proven college coaches

How often have coaches moved from NBA to college?

Better to be underrated than overrated imo

Being in a conference where AZ is only #5 is pretty cool

How many spots in the Top-25 will be consistently held by the Big 12 this year?

Carnac

All of them. All 25

Preppy

Probably 6-8 teams at a time, yes. And at least a 10 bid league

mjmill

1:24pm

True. But 1-10 will be tight most likely.

Very

mjmill

More like 5-12

Finishing in the top half would be great.

It is interesting that outsiders don't seem nearly as high on BYU as insiders

When in doubt, just choose Kansas

It's funny but it's true. For nearly 100 years it's been true

The top 10 looks like it has two tiers: 1-5 & 6-9. No shame in being in tier 2

Booya Grandma

that is good news

Avery

Top half of the league is an achievable goal. 7-8 would exceed expectations

Board name does not check out

And Utes will finish worse.

In that case, they should have picked BYU to be about 4th or 5th in the Big 12

New coach?

Curious if I should be happy about Utah being picked last or mad that we were

We can exceed this projection if we can come together as a team.
