Going purely off the FPI rankings (and not factoring home field) BYU would be projected to go 7-5. Homefield would probably bump the Cougars to being pre-season favorites in their last 8 games (and underdogs in their first 4). Would BYU fans be happy with an 8-4 record but losses to all their P5 opponents? Can the Cougars recover from a potential 0-4 start to win the games that on pre-season paper they will be favored to win?
