Unless they are downright awful, they will give us all we can handle.

Over the last 30 years, BYU has played 38 road games against power conference teams that have won at least 4 games in a year. We have won 8. We have had only 2 blowout wins (Georgia Tech 2012 and Texas in 2014).

10 Wins seems really reasonable, no?

I would say 8-9

Who from first 10 listed would you think turns into loss?

CosmoK

5/22/17 2:42pm

BSU or Miss St.

Huge Manatee

5/22/17 2:43pm

Fair enough. Losing to one of them and beating Utah gets you to 10, though.

CosmoK

5/22/17 2:45pm

Could lose to both and then beat Utah

Huge Manatee

5/22/17 2:46pm

Both on the road. Miss State is the week after traveling to East Carolina.

ECU is the week after Miss. St.

ESPN's S&P+ has us as underdogs against both BSU & MSU, but favored over utah.

I don't like what happens when we end up favored over Utah. I think it adds

I think we lose to LSU, Wisconsin, and Miss St

17 games this year???? Sweet!

Silly you, he's counting the bowl game.

10-4? It's half a game better than last year. Sure, why not?

63rd toughest SOS in 2016. Is it around there for 2017, you think?

I think MSU will beat us at their place. They'll be better than last year

I'm constantly surprised how people underrate Miss. St and overrate utah on CB.

chilango

5/22/17 2:50pm

When you put the two in the same conversation, it's not so bad.

Lip Gallagher

I dunno, I rarely see anyone overrate them on this board, despite the SEC tag.

chilango

5/22/17 3:52pm

I do. I saw people terrified just because of their conference.

Lip Gallagher

5/22/17 3:59pm

Beating MSU is do-able!!

wilsdad

5/22/17 4:15pm

Actually, your post and others in this thread are more typical, dismissing MSU

chilango

5/22/17 8:20pm

lol what did I do to overrate them except state the complete fact

Lip Gallagher

Unless they are downright awful, they will give us all we can handle.

Blue Cat

Will they? Seems like they lost a TON of production on defense

Lip Gallagher

5/22/17 3:00pm

8 probable, 9 possible, 10 would be amazing.

Backcountry

I think people would see that about like last year.

CosmoK

5/22/17 2:47pm

Bsu

I see things about like that as well.

It's not unreasonable, but not easy. And your analysis is a bit off.

chilango

5/22/17 2:49pm

We've got 5 tough games and 8 games BYU should win fairly easily.

Kajdin

5/22/17 2:52pm

True, but history tells us that there is a good chance one of our "easy" games

chilango

According to ESPN's preseason FPI rankings (link)

BYU overall is going to be better then last year. We have more depth. Add the

I'm sticking with 9-4 for the regular season.

Byu_1988

More reasonable than Win 10 (which is, to be fair, better than Windows 7)

fan_byu

5/22/17 5:52pm

7-7 would be worst case final record for us this year.

cougarfan84

5/22/17 6:17pm

So writers are saying Miss. State will be top this year.

oldrugger

5/22/17 7:20pm

top what

Lip Gallagher

If BYU beats Utah then 12 wins with bowl game should be result.

That's the reasoned analysis. The emotional response will be different.

I wanted to "thumbs up" because its correct, but "frowny," also. . .
