Think about this from the Las Vegas Bowl POV. There is very little chance BYU will be better in '19 than they are this year. 9-3, coming off a good win over USU is about as good as they can hope for. BYU will have a brand new QB in '19 and a very tough schedule. The odds are they will struggle and end up with a 6-6, 7-5, or 8-4 type season. Better to take them now, when you know what you are getting and that the fanbase is likely to travel and fill Sam Boyd Stadium.
Anyways, just my random thoughts today. I think we're going to Vegas.
