Here's the new numbers. We'll see how they keep evolving as the season goes on.

BYU 36 overall 56 offense 39 defense.

Nebraska 46 -- 24/79
Boise 59 -- 87/34
UCLA 14 -- 17/24
Michigan 10 -- 48/4 (FOURTH!)
UConn 93 -- 115/69
East Car 75 -- 63/85
Cincinnati 89 -- 52/110
San Jose 81 -- 66/90
Missouri 79 -- 120/27
Fresno St 100 -- 102/91
Utah St 105 -- 124/51


Things that jump out at me:

Computers aren't impressed with Boise's win over Virginia, apparently.

Michigan's defense is really, really, really good. I hate losing, but is mass suicide really the answer when a top 10 defense shuts down a true freshman, just-off-his-mission QB in his third start and we go from our 3rd string to our 4th string RB during the game?

According to this, other than Missouri and Utah State/UConn, the defenses BYU will be facing are not as bad as what they've seen so far. The offense should look a lot better and maybe our coaching can go back to being thought of as competent once they're done playing the 110th best defense in the country. We'll just have to see.




Oh, and the Pac-12 isn't looking like quite the gauntlet it's been the last few years.

USC 9
Stanford 13
UCLA 14
Utah 29
California 36
Arizona State 48
Oregon 52
Washington 62
Arizona 67
Oregon State 76
Colorado 88
Washington State 106


Things are set up very nicely for Utah, who get Cal at home after a bye and UCLA at home late in the season.

The Zona schools aren't looking good and they miss Stanford. They could split the LA schools and still win the South.
