BCriddle was discussing the ceiling or floor for BYU like others do and I just do not think it makes sense. Here’s why

The floor is 5 imo for this year.

You think it's impossible that you lose to 2/3 of NIU, USU, and UMASS?

Sure, but we're talking floor here. Worst plausible scenario is 4. Maybe 3.

You think it's impossible that your boys go 0-12?

I think it’s impossible. We’re on their schedule 😭

Right, but what's the plausible floor? 5 is more likely than 4, but after 2017

Yep.

"your boys" — who do you root for. Oh, and yes, BYU will never go 0-12.

Obviously not for the team of the poster I responded to.

Ah, yes.

My BYU floor is 6, the ceiling is 14

Floor: 5, Ceiling: 10, Preseason expectation: 7-5 (reg season)

Is that what you call a "false ceiling"?

BlueBeliever

How can you justify a ceiling of 10 wins?

My friend you need to reread the post. Welcome to the board. I don’t object to Utah fans at all but you must read it.

I read your post

He's not predicting they'll beat Utah, Cal and Arizona.

Agreed- except my ceiling is just that the best possible outcome. I agree that winning 8 would be amazing and I think I

SouthernBlueBlood

8/21/18 10:18am

Right. I think your plausible ceiling is 8 wins, but I understand why you put 10

displacedute

8/21/18 10:28am

I don’t pick BYU to beat Utah. I don’t pick BYU to beat anyone except the bottom 4. I think Utah will beat BYU. I just

That's fair

Also, keep in mind, they lose some starts off this team, and 19 and 20 are tough

displacedute

The floor is lower than 6, as we saw last year. But anything less than 6 is

cougaman

8/21/18 9:59am

Agreed

SouthernBlueBlood

8/21/18 10:14am

Floor is 3 wins, but I expect no less than five. 8 as a ceiling but not possible

BrotherBrighamsBeard

8/21/18 10:08am

Floor 4, ceiling 9. I would have expected 8 wins from a bronco coached team.

here's to hoping

I think it's wierd that so much time is spent defining win/loss expectations
