1. If we win up in Boise, they will likely drop out of the rankings with a chance to maybe sneak back in at the end of the season. It will be a fantastic win for the program, but probably more so from our perspective and what it means in a historical context for BYU football.
2. Again, based on the assumption that we are 8-0 after next week, Army might actually sneak into the top 25. I believe they came in 25 in the coaches poll this week, may be wrong though. They should win out and be a one loss opponent in late November. That would make for a second *potentially ranked opponent for BYU down the stretch when they need it most for national perception.
3. Other quick thoughts - All of BYU’s “tough” games will be played on the road with the exception of SDSU. Having wins over Navy, UH, and hypothetically Boise/Army, will be impressive enough to keep us in the top 10 discussion toward the end of the season. And in addition to those quality road wins, we may even see an undefeated, possibly ranked SDSU coming to Provo in Dec. So all that said, getting Army back on the schedule, IMO would do well to strengthen our overall resume and keep BYU relevant down the stretch when there is a very bad looking gap between the Boise and SDSU games. I’m sure Holmoe has a bunch of irons in the fire and we’ll be satisfied in the end.
