BYUHgrad All-American

gets those I ranked teams into the top 15 in week 2 most every year. So 6-0 with wins over Wisky and LSU would already have us in the top 10. 6-0 would most likely have us top 5. Like 1990, 2009, etc.

This is one of my biggest worries

Keeps me up at night.

I stayed home from church with severe ulcer pains for this exact reason.

The win over 0-12 Utah won't help either.

I've already accepted we'll get no help from them. May cost us CFP, dirty yewts.

Ocho Cuatro

Probably will do it on purpose just to hurt us. Stinking little brothers

I want Utah to be 11-1 every year... every year they play us that is.

Heck no. Any SOS gain is not worth the joy of them suffering a loss. Not close.

Ocho Cuatro

7/23/17 8:25pm

Not to mention the recruiting hit that will happen if/when they are terrible

colton

But that win over eventual 1 loss big10 champ Wisconsin will look really good

I hope they lose to lsu

These are the things that keep me up at night.

That would be a great problem to have.

7/23/17 3:18pm

Ah crap. Really!? Well I guess we'll have to settle for the NY6 then.

Blue Golfer

7/23/17 3:21pm

They will beat auburn and georgia. Come in with one loss vs LSU

GeauxCougs

7/23/17 3:30pm

Is this just a joke to go along with the OP?

Lip Gallagher

7/23/17 3:42pm

Miss. St will be surprisingly good. It wouldn't shock me at all. Obviously I'm

GeauxCougs

7/23/17 4:52pm

Might finish as high as 5th...in the SEC west

unctoothman

7/23/17 5:31pm

Surprisingly good? I doubt that. Plus

Lip Gallagher

Six months ago I told my oldest son that if

6-0 might get us into the top 15 but not top 4

SpiffCoug

7/23/17 4:12pm

We'd be well in the top 10, probably 5-8 range w/ wins over LSU, Wisc, Utah, BSU

BamaCoug

7/23/17 4:17pm

Unfortunateoy starting unranked gives us an uphill battle

YIsForBrigham

7/23/17 4:18pm

True. Convincing wins on the road against good-great teams however can make

Blue Golfer

7/23/17 4:28pm

Or total domination gives great headlines

qom

7/23/17 5:37pm

Starting unranked plus awful end of schedule = tough to finish high

Lip Gallagher

7/23/17 4:36pm

Not so if those we beat have great seasons also

qom

7/23/17 5:39pm

Yes so, even if that happens. It's really hard to get up especially when you're

Lip Gallagher

7/23/17 7:13pm

So, it's really hard? Well, then really hard is still possible

qom

7/23/17 11:12pm

Talking reality helps.

Lip Gallagher

7/23/17 11:27pm

It's entertainment. I live in reality the rest of the time

qom

7/24/17 2:36pm

Two top 10 wins in 3 weeks would change that dramatically. We'd be top 10 easy

nashty

7/23/17 5:35pm

Yeah. I take back my comment. I went back and looked. Houston was as high as #6 when they were 5-0 last year

SpiffCoug

7/23/17 8:14pm

Hahaha...uh, no.

BYUHgrad

7/23/17 7:27pm

6-0 vs that record easily puts BYU in the top 10.

First week upsets by unanked teams over top 10 teams

BYUHgrad

7/23/17 7:36pm

You're probably right. Im not sure where LSU would be ranked

Adrielle

7/23/17 8:30pm

Case in point: unranked Wisconsin sloppily beat preseason #5 LSU at home.

BYUHgrad

7/23/17 10:22pm

You'll then wake up, disappointed, from the great dream you were having

CougarVeteran

7/23/17 5:11pm

Then time for BYU to thump MSU

Heinz57

7/23/17 6:03pm

BYU would barely make NY6 at 13-0. Even that not likely.

Y4LYFE

7/23/17 8:07pm

13-0 gets them a NY 6 berth. There would be no question.

Adrielle

7/23/17 8:29pm

If LSU and WI win their conference we better get a playoff berth

(Private)

7/23/17 10:14pm

Lots of at-large spots open this year. You are 100% wrong

nashty

7/23/17 10:07pm

13-0 goes to the playoffs sure

stonecougar

7/24/17 11:56am

NY6 for sure, playoff discussion, but I bet they keep us out due to SOS, CCG,etc
