This is how I see how BYU stacking up in every P5 conference, and how I see the top 25 teams in the country.
This is not based on expected finish in each conference because I do not take into account conference divisions and the self inflicted wounds of conference play. This is simply a ranking of who I think is relatively the best team in each conference and how I think BYU would fit in.
Saying BYU is 19 is a bold statement -- BYU has a lot to prove this year. But in my biased opinion, BYU could even be better than that... we have the opportunity to beat 4 top 25 teams (UCLA, Missouri, Boise St., Nebraska) and perhaps 5 top 30 teams (Michigan).
