It's really difficult to overcome low preseason expectations. If BYU started the year ranked as high as Utah did, BYU

they assume you have to have a roster full of 5 star players to win

There is brand bias for sure. But it's more than that. Team talent based

Or when you don't blow anyone out and have a sense of a "lucky" team.

This is wrong - Look at Indiana vs BYU

That's part of the difficulty. You have to blow lots of teams out. I didn't say it was impossible.

BYU is doing fine. The #3 spot is ours if we win out, and there's no reason to

At this point they figure they'll look like geniuses if it ever happens.

I don't think they hate BYU. Apathy can be worse than hate at times.

BYU is only a few spots ahead of Kansas in the analytics ratings

Yes, but FPI carries previous year(s) success at all points.. never goes away

And my contention is it has so little impact that it isn’t the difference between being 6th and 28th

You’re probably right. But I still hate any metric that rewards historical…

They do this because it works

The reason it’s in there is because it’s been empirically found to provide more accurate forecasts

There is still some weight on the prior season, who knows how much

Sagarin has BYU at 19 and Kansas at 28, a difference of 4 points. In Sagarin

This is amazing. We are 9-0 and still disrespected. The team thrives off that.

At this point I’m kind of numb to it—just win, go 12-0, and take on whoever in

It is hard to go undefeated. They feel it is like flipping coins. Hit 9 heads in

Kansas will be hungry, fighting to get to 500 and bowl eligible, also they…

The BYU offense is on the verge of a breakout game. We need another 500 yard

Hard to RUTS on an elite defense (Utah) or a team with an elite offense (Kansas)
