RE: Is byu good? Lots of “overrated” talk on Twitter. That byu

I think it’s fun to enjoy the season as it has been but also realize that BYU has been an outlier statistically. We’ve won some pretty close games and had a lot of things roll our way. I calculated BYUs Pythagorean expectations of wins this morning and it’s 7. So we’ve outperformed our expectation through luck by about 2 wins

Is byu good? Lots of “overrated” talk on Twitter. That byu wouldn’t beat

We have at least earned the chance to prove it

Two 90 yard drives against the Utah defense is legit.

Absolutely!

It's stupid how good they were pinning us deep in our own territory.

durandal

Yep. In past years we would have fumbled or thrown a pick 6 in those situations.

Unfrozen Caveman

Nov 13, 9:58am

I'm honestly still shocked that none of those tipped passes ended in a turnover.

Or the two fumbles. We had good luck against them for once.

Nov 13, 10:11am

We did fumble twice... we just had fortunate bounces

A healthy BYU team can beat anyone in the country. This is the healthiest I have

Well how did we fare in Knoxville last time we were both similarly ranked and we played each other?

BYU is very good - it is very hard to win in college football- 9-0 against this

Well, Tennessee is scared of coming to Provo to play us.

Funny how the “they haven’t played anybody” excuse that we always heard before is still

And SEC teams keep canceling games against us, too. Tenn and Ole Miss.

Its because our top 25 wins are also against teams that aren't typically top 25

As the ranking goes up, I worried that the team loses their edge. With people saying no players would be 2 deep there 👍

They are as good as their record shows. 9-0.

Doesn't matter. 9 wins is a huge success after last year.

That's OK. We were probably overrated in 2019 as well.

Let them doubt. We will prove it every single game.

If only CFB came with a way to determine on the field who’s the best team…

Nov 13, 9:57am

It doesn't matter what people think, BYU will have their chance to prove it on

This "overrated" talk is potentially the best case scenario. I think a major

Great points - it is remarkable how well BYU has held on to underdog status

BYU is certainly good. You don't win 9 in a row being bad. But is BYU CFP elite?

This is such a strange year. There isn't really a head and shoulders above the rest type team. Lots of good, maybe great

As someone who lives in the middle of UT country and has seen all of their games, BYU may score 20 on UT. May. The UT D

All I know is that we're undefeated and way, way ahead of schedule with our build-in to the XII. We could lose any of

Nitpick, but I think Texas is the worst team to make the point. Tennessee was OT

In a playoff game, both defenses will be as good or better than Utah's

I guess we need to think about what a rating means — will a 7 always beat an 8? Will a 1 or 2 always beat a 12?

Keep winning, if only by one point, for the rest of the season, and see what they say then.

Team play and chemistry can trump talent. We are talented and deeper than in
