Does this take injuries into account? For example, Key? Also, it is evident how

This is my logic-based expectation for BYU

No way Utah only wins 3 games. We're just not that fortunate

No but it would make Utah sports radio SO much more tolerable

I don't live there, but guessing talk would turn to how the P12 is SOO hard

I'll take 10-3, but no way Utah goes 3-9, they are at least a 7-5 team

BYU 9-4; Utah 7-5.

Actually, they're predicting 9 wins for byu and 5 wins for utah

Ahh, that makes sense - like I said, it'll be interesting to see how this all

Its interesting to see how they view us against other teams

hammergm

I don't think 2 losses gets us to NY6. Not with our schedule, as good as it is.

Refugee

8/23/17 7:27am

What if our two losses come against LSU and Wisconsin, and both those teams...

hammergm

8/23/17 7:31am

The nice thing is we play both teams at the beginning of the season

Angel's Trumpet

8/23/17 7:36am

Here's to hoping!! The stars aligned in '84 and they could align again someday...why not this year?

Refugee

8/23/17 7:52am

BYU could win 10 but I'd bet heavily Utah wins more than 3

I am not a betting man. I would bet the house & my 401K on Utah getting more

ESPN is not predicting a 3 win Utah team, They're predicting a 5 win team

I totally understand why people are skeptical about my beloved Utes.

That's a good point.

The only thing that really matters here is the Holy War

Gil Buckman

NY6 would only be possible with 1 loss, and it would have to be to UW or LSU.

The percentage is calculated off of FPI -- so any team we have an advantage over means we are ranked higher in their FPI

BrutustheBrash

8/23/17 9:54am

How are Utah's chances against WSU so low? Or Arizona? Makes no sense to me.

GOR

8/23/17 9:57am

It's based off of FPI which is ESPNs predictive model

BrutustheBrash

8/23/17 10:11am

Thanks. I'm surprised Utah doesn't come out on top in those. But I don't follow

I agree. Would love to see ML pull it all together this year. Love that guy.

10-3 is a reasonable expectation for year 2 of the Sitake era

Losing to two top 10 teams, and then having one loss the rest of the way is reas

they are just trying to Jimmer their ratings..

8/23/17 10:13am

We would have to be 12-1 at worst to be considered for NY6.

TailgateU

8/23/17 10:59am

Whittingham will get fired with that record

joFan

8/23/17 11:04am

If that happens, Utah will no longer be a long-term concern. Other coaches don't

TailgateU

8/23/17 11:09am

Utah would be so incredibly stupid to let him go

GOR

8/23/17 12:49pm

Makes no sense. They are ranked as the 5th best team in the PAC12

8/23/17 1:06pm

It's their algorithm that's making the prediction, not the media

BrutustheBrash

8/23/17 1:19pm

Never underestimate Utah. They'll knock off one of the big dogs of the P10.

Ash

BYU makes a NY6 if they go undefeated. That's the only way I see it happening.
