Here we go again...ESPN doubtful we beat Kansas

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

Perfectly illustrates preseason based on brand shaping the whole process with nothing but smoke & mirrors.

At this point it’s different. 3 reasons:

My point isn’t abt Kansas being a tough game but abt the perpetual doubting of

Don’t worry, just win and it works out.

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

Nice to see that somebody gets it.

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

TheLoneCougar

This is wrong - Look at Indiana vs BYU

Zoobieman

Nov 13, 5:13am

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

BYUnerd

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

BlueFever

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

Haha, say it every week and it just might happen

They hate BYU

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

Soupie

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

BamaCoug

Nov 13, 2:50am

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

Indy Coug

Nov 13, 5:15am

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

BamaCoug

Nov 13, 6:18am

They do this because it works

bythenumbers

Nov 13, 6:23am

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

Indy Coug

Nov 13, 6:38am

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.

Bring it on! Let the chip stay firmly fixed on the Royal Blue 3 stripe shoulders

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

Fdnman

Maybe they aren't being against the BYU players. Maybe they are being against

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

If our defense plays like they did against SMU, K-State & UCF

gopman

Nov 13, 10:18am

Funny how the top team has only one player in Big 12 top 25 players. Of course

GMGlenn

Nov 13, 5:40am

Not surprising. We gotta admit we been lucky. And looked bad against utah

chismoso

Nov 13, 6:59am

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

CT98

Nov 13, 7:50am

Kansas could very well be that game. Their defense is "meh".

gopman

Nov 13, 10:19am

I actually like it. Keep doubting.

Thrill

Nov 13, 8:28am

If they keep saying that, they’ll eventually be right at some point

We need to start pummeling opponents. RUTS!

Burton162

Nov 13, 10:03am

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

Nov 13, 10:04am

I meant on previous RUTS-type games
