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

And almost all of that was based on their victory over Oklahoma.

Time

When BYU is 6-0, ranked No. 5, going into Starkville

This is one of my biggest worries

yahtzee

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.

Turbine

7/23/17 3:11pm

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

Ocho Cuatro

7/23/17 3:59pm

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.

7/23/17 7:21pm

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

7/23/17 9:43pm

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

YIsForBrigham

7/23/17 2:55pm

I hope they lose to lsu

cougarmanguy

These are the things that keep me up at night.

blackandblue

7/23/17 3:00pm

That would be a great problem to have.

unctoothman

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

7/23/17 7:09pm

Six months ago I told my oldest son that if

kC Cougar

7/23/17 3:55pm

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.

Adrielle

7/23/17 7:30pm

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
