makes me think you don't know much about college football. At the beginning of the season, nobody thought there were 7 built in wins.
Nebraska, Boise St, UCLA, Michigan, Cincinnati, East Carolina, Missouri, Utah St are all teams that have been good. If you thought any of those games were gimmes at the beginning of the season, then you simply don't follow college football very closely.
What do you want BYU to do? Force teams that are normally good to be good this year too?
