I don't think we go better than 8-5

I think we get a win in Lincoln and vs. Boise. But I don't see how we get a win @UCLA- they return almost everyone. Michigan is another big ? In my mind. Harbaugh is a great coach, but it takes time to get all the pieces in place. We might just pull the upset here.
Outside of Missouri, I feel pretty good about our chances in those last 8 games AS LONG AS WE HAVE TAYSOM. If he goes down, we will be lucky to get to 5 wins.

7-5, depending on bowl opponent, 7-6/8-5 at best

This is very optimistic. I wish I had it, but I expect no better than 8-4.

yes, it is. i think if taysom is healthy for 12 games we have a good shot at

I bet we lose to Nebraska, beat BSU, lose the next two, then win out.

14% or .14%?

Your odds for each game yield an expected result of 7.5 wins.

You have to factor in the odds of Taysom getting hurt again.

At first I thought you meant 14%. Missed the decimal. 0.14% is reasonable.

Is that correct? Do you add the probabilities of 11-1 and 10-2 for probability

Probability of winning exactly 10 games = 6.7%.

That's what I was thinking... so he is incorrect in saying less than 7% chance

That's what's up for interpretation.

If you use your probabilities there is a 0.14% chance of 12-0, 1.53% chance of

I think the obvious is the asterisk - if Taysom is healthy

If BYU has 2 wins in their first four games, I'll be shocked and amazed
