Within the MONTH (more difficult to least difficult)
Sept. 19 at UCLA
Sept. 12 Boise State
Sept. 5 at Nebraska
Sept. 26 at Michigan
Oct. 17 Cincinnati
Oct. 10 East Carolina
Oct. 2 Connecticut
Oct. 24 Wagner
Nov. 14 vs. Missouri
Nov. 28 at Utah State
Nov. 21 Fresno State
Nov. 7 at San Jose State
By MONTH (more difficult to least difficult) Road month (Sep), Split (road/home) (Nov), Home month (Dec)
Sept. 19 at UCLA
Sept. 12 Boise State
Sept. 5 at Nebraska

Oct. 24 Wagner
Weakest team on schedule
Oct. 24 Wagner
Most difficult P5 team on schedule (toss up, very very close)
Sept. 19 at UCLA
Nov. 14 vs. Missouri
Most difficult G5 team on schedule (toss up) I see Cincinnati as either 1 or 2.
Oct. 17 Cincinnati
Sept. 12 Boise State
Nov. 28 at Utah State
Because two of the three difficult G5 teams travel to BYU, I say BYU SHOULD win those games...(if they win all P5 games or go 4-1/3-2). Losing to those to G5 schools AT LES is down right shameful and with a SR QB,RB one would EXPECT better of your team. You can't LOSE at home...you have to protect your own turf.
P5 schedule is the most difficult as ALL of those teams are on the road and for BYU to be (being posititve) at 4-1 at the end of those P5 games will be a great shot in the arm. Of course, winning in Sep, means Oct, Nov and Dec you need to go undefeated (beaten three of four P5 teams up to that point) at least make that your goal.
So much potential and so much to prove (now with new conditioning system) we HOPE going into fall camp that players are taking this seriously enough to really work at perfecting their craft. We hope coaches are also keeping the bigger picture in mind (2015,16,17 schedules) while they expect and get the best out of players AND themselves.
Enough of talking, time for action by BYU coaches AND players...it is ALL on them to do their very BEST and stop being ignorant and stupid, in their decisions.
