Good point. I forgot McNeese was in there.

Sadly this team could be very improved and still start out 0-4

I can tell you exactly how the first 4 games will go:

MikeDitka'sStache

8/15/19 10:38am

I'd take 2-2 and victory over Utah in a heart beat. Probably is I'm having

mudpupper

8/15/19 10:40am

I think they win one of the 3 home games against BCS foes.

Goatnapper'96

8/15/19 10:38am

Nor is 2-2 or even 3-1 out of the question. Quit building the case that, yeah

basman

8/15/19 10:39am

I think most unbiased observers expect BYU to start 0-4

franklyvulgar

8/15/19 10:39am

S&P and FPI expect you to go 1-3.

displacedute

8/15/19 10:42am

They expect BYU to lose each ind. game but the odds are that they steal 1.

TrueAggieBlue

8/15/19 10:45am

That is where I think it ends up.

Goatnapper'96

8/15/19 10:49am

2-2 is also more likely than 0-4 even w/ us considered "underdogs" in all 4.

jreid191

8/15/19 10:57am

Yep. 32/30% v. 17/19% (FPI/S&P)

displacedute

8/15/19 11:34am

Most odds/predictions from unbiased sources I've seen seem to expect a 1-3 start

jreid191

8/15/19 10:56am

Taken individually BYU will be an underdog in their first four games

BYU Fan

8/15/19 2:34pm

The team will be better but have worse record than last year - my stupid opinion

ag4cougs

8/15/19 10:40am

That is a very real possibility. But will fans give KS credit for that?

mudpupper

8/15/19 10:41am

I really think the fairest way to evaluate KS

Goatnapper'96

8/15/19 10:48am

I think that is pretty reasonable. BYU not only needs to win the backend games

mudpupper

8/15/19 10:53am

If we have a worse record. he definitely should not come back. That would be a losing season with 4 usual gimmies

Deleted

8/15/19 10:49am

Credit for what? Fans didn’t want moral victories when we were winning 8–9 games

ataylor

BYU beat Wisconsin in Madison last year and should have beaten both Utah and BSU

ataylor

8/15/19 10:52am

I heard this last year as well (against FBS schools).

Benfica1

8/15/19 10:53am

Yep, I heard a lot of 0-4 predictions last year and we went 2-2.

D.T. Survivor

8/15/19 11:06am

Which is exactly why I’m not buying that we can be improved and go 0-4.

ataylor

8/15/19 11:10am

Except we went 3-1.

andrewg3

8/15/19 11:46am

We lost to Cal and Washington

cougartailaddict

8/15/19 12:10pm

Washington was the 5th game.

TrueAggieBlue

8/15/19 12:15pm

I don't think we're all on the same page here.

cougartailaddict

8/15/19 12:39pm

I didn't include McNeese State.

Benfica1

8/15/19 12:43pm

Good point. I forgot McNeese was in there.

D.T. Survivor

8/15/19 1:33pm

I would reluctantly agree. 6-6 is also a very real possibility even with a great

Pigskin Pete

8/15/19 10:55am

Great BYU teams don’t go 6-6. Sorry.

ataylor

8/15/19 10:57am

No great team at any school goes 6-6. No good team goes 6-6.

Plato

8/15/19 11:42am

Great BYU teams don't play the top end teams that BYU will play this year

BYU Fan

8/15/19 2:46pm

We're not a great team if we go 6-6. Good would even be debatable.

we play toledo, idaho state, liberty, SDSU, and umass. any average byu team beats all of them easily.

8/15/19 11:02am

Average LaVell or Bronco team. Unfortunately the average team we’ve put on the

true, kalani can lose to anyone it seems.

8/15/19 11:05am

SDSU is a better team than most realize.

The Y's Insider

8/15/19 11:09am

I will revise my previous statement to “good” Rather than great. We could be

Pigskin Pete

8/15/19 1:23pm

Based on ESPN's FPI ratings, there is only ~17% probability that we start 0-4.

Phasor

8/15/19 10:56am

Happily this team could start 4-0.

Lance71

8/15/19 11:06am

You could be standing out in the sun, still the rain's coming down

OldFogey

8/15/19 11:33am

FALSE. You lose 4 in a row, you are not good. Even against good competition.

Plato

8/15/19 11:38am

0-4 ain't happening. Stop it. These posts happen every year and it never happens

andrewg3

8/15/19 11:45am

Several P-5 programs could go 0-4 through this.

cougartailaddict

Love the spirit of optimism here. 😏

I will look at 1-4 as hug victory. I think Tennessee gives BYU its best

PhilPete

8/15/19 12:33pm

If starting 1-4 is a huge victory. Im not sure i want to know what a huge defeat is

Deleted

1-3 is a huge success in my mind

I'm expecting 0-4 and will be thrilled if otherwise

My, how far we've fallen. "Thrilled", really?

Any win over a P5 program with massively superior talen and resources is a big

How many road wins does BYU have against the SEC?
