BYU can win each of their remaining games. They could lose any of these games as well. Things change really quickly week to week. Momentum and matchups are real, and the common transitive fan math ("BYU beat team x by 14 and team x beat team y by 30 so BYU will beat team y") is silly. I think it's good to manage expectations. Fans can fan how they want, hopefully the players can stay focused and not buy the hype, but just keep working. This season has been a lot of fun thus far, and has the potential to be special.

Oklahoma State - Really good to have this one at home, at night. I expect a win. Oklahoma State has not been able to run the ball very well, but they have good athletes. They might be playing with nothing to lose. Still a dangerous team.

UCF - This game has worried me more than any other all season. I know they are in free fall and have benched the Arkansas transfer. They are ultra athletic, it will be a day game, BYU traveling to Florida. Has all the makings of a tough game, regardless of what pundits think. Malzahn is as good an offensive mind as there is. I expect a tough, close game.

Utah - Flip a coin in this one, but at this point we are the better team.

Kansas - Have been a major disappointment. Hoping for a night game. Despite their record, they have a good quarterback (many don't think so, but he is good) and very good running backs. When you have a good QB you can overcome a lot. To think we will just show up and roll them would be silly.

Arizona State - Much improved team. Their running back is probably the most entertaining player in the country to watch, at least for me. Leavitt is athletic at QB and has played well. The coach is innovative. They are mediocre on defense, but if they are in contention still in the conference race even a little bit, expect a very very tough game.

Houston - Still a football game against a team with good athletic players. Won't be good enough to just show up. Expect a win here.


Cougs have it all out in front of them. Go take it boys!
