Every year I have seen the same thing. Gonzaga dominates....BYU loses to SMC.....BYU loses a game they should have won at home (like USF this year) and as good as BYU fans hope they will be, it just repeats the same.
No, I don't think BYU will be a co-favorite to win the league. I have no reason to hope that.
Gonzaga reloads EVERY year and BYU just stays in 2nd or 3rd place depending on how good SMC is.
