W Arizona State (we will have to play good, but I expect a win)

L @ Houston (one of the best teams in the country)

W Texas Tech (This will be a huge test and it could go either way)

W @ TCU win (should be a big win on the road)

W Oklahoma State

W @ Utah (redemption)

W @ Colorado (need to step up for the road win)

W Cincinnati (remember last year… it can’t happen again… this will be a very big win if we can pull it off… Cincy is the real deal)

I know it sounds crazy to say we will be 7-1 right here… we could easily be 5-3, but we need to be close to 7-1. Hopefully, we can get out to a really good start in conference play because we have a very tough stretch coming up here next.

It could be four consecutive losses. It would be great to grab a win in here somewhere. Most likely chance would be at UCF or at home against Arizona.

If we don’t have a pretty good record before we hit this point, it could get real ugly/discouraging right here.

When all is said and done, we probably lose a game or two above and win one or two here below.

L Baylor (sweet 16 caliber squad)

L @ Central Florida (tough to win on the road, long trip… better team does not always win)

L Arizona (Arizona can be up and down. This would be a great win if we could pull it off)

L @ Cincinnati (sweet 16 caliber team on their own floor)

Hopefully, we can pull out a win somewhere in the stretch above, even though I have them all marked as losses….. the game below in West Virginia won’t be easy either.

W @ West Virginia (This will be a tough one)

W Kansas State

L Kansas (yeah that Kansas… miracles don’t happen every year)

L @ Arizona

L @ Arizona State (road games are tough… Arizona State is decent… if KY really gets this squad clicking together this could be a win)

W West Virginia

L @ Iowa State (final four caliber team on the road)

W Utah

It’s likely that we win a couple that we shouldn’t and we lose a couple that we shouldn’t. Would be great if we won a couple that we shouldn’t and hold on to the expected wins.

So I have BYU at 11-9. I think worst case scenario is nine wins (barring major injuries). Best case is probably 13 wins in the toughest conference in all the land.
