BYU projects to win 9 games if they can build on recent success
W Arizona State (we had to play good, but I expected a win) we all thought we played great. Maybe Arizona State is not as good as expected or maybe we did play good. Saunders was amazing!
Lost @ Houston (one of the best teams in the country) got thumped/embarrassed expected a loss here
Lost Texas Tech (This would have been a huge home win and it could have gone either way) we folded/didn’t bounce back with a purpose from the Houston embarrassment…. Should’ve held on for the win here.
Lost @ TCU (should have been a win on the road)
Win vs Oklahoma State
Lost…Projected a W @ Utah very disappointing loss Utes are not great
Won @ Colorado (needed to step up for the road win even though Buffs are bad)
Won vs defensive Cincinnati
Good must win
We should have been 6-2 right here… we are 4-4 Hopefully, we can get correct our poor start in conference play because we have a very tough stretch coming up here next.
It could have been four consecutive losses. It was great to grab a win in here somewhere vs Baylor. Most likely chance for another surprise would be at UCF or at Cincinnati.
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.
Win vs Baylor….(thought they were sweet 16 caliber squad). Thought this would be a loss.
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 Arizona recently crushed I will state swag in an overtime. Barn burner.
W @ Cincinnati (sweet 16 caliber team on their own floor) I originally had this as a loss, but with our recent success, I’ve changed it. Cincy is also weaker than I thought they would be.
Great to beat Baylor at home need to win at either Cincinnati or UCF…the game below in West Virginia won’t be easy either.
L @ West Virginia (This will be a tough one) I originally had this as a win, but after the way, we played against Houston, Texas Tech, TCU and Utah I’ve changed it to a loss.
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 continues with this squad clicking together this could be a win)
W West Virginia @ home
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 9-11 if they can right the ship. Originally, I had them at 11-9. I think worst case scenario is 7 wins (barring major injuries). Best case is probably 11 wins in a weaker XII. Houston, Iowa State and Arizona look pretty legit.
