Here's BYU's ranking and their schedule:

35. BYU (2015 ranking: 38)

12. UCLA (23)
21. Mississippi State (16)
22. Michigan State (13)
33. West Virginia (24)
36. Boise State (41)
39. Utah (27)
58. Toledo (21)
64. Arizona (77)
70. Cincinnati (74)
73. Utah State (46)
127. UMASS (97)
FBS. Southern Utah

These rankings are based on returning production (highest weight), 5-year recruiting rankings and 5-year S&P+ team rankings (lowest weight).

I know our 2016 schedule looks like the toughest ever. But, as I've said before, it's not as daunting as it seems. Half of our schedule takes a big step back next year because of lost production - especially at the QB position. 5 top 25 teams (with another one just outside) turns into only 3 top 25 teams next year - and we get the toughest one of those (and 2 out of 3) in Provo.
