The betting lines for BYU's games this season are unprecedented.

Well, nearly. Check out this quote from ESPN earlier this week (apologies if already posted):

Conversely, BYU continues to see disrespect from bookmakers despite its impressive play. The Cougars closed as 2.5-point underdogs at UCF, making them just the second 7-0 or better team since 1978 to close as an underdog to a team with a losing record. With the win, they are now only the second team since 1990 to start 8-0 despite being underdogs in half of their games, according to ESPN Research.

Can't say as I'm complaining though, as I like the underdog mentality this team has. I got the sense the boys came in a little over-confident against Ok. State, so I'd be okay with bookmakers continuing the disrespect to keep them hungry.
