simply due to the number of games they have played compared to other teams (especially in the Big 10 and PAC-12), but while BYU basically sits at home and doesn't play for the next 2 week (unless they schedule another game), those teams start to pass them as they play and win more games.

Point being is that the biggest counterargument to BYU's weak SoS to this point (outside of their margin of victory) is the number of games they have played. BYU being 9-0 vs. Oregon being 3-0 is a huge difference. Even if those extra 6 games are against bad opponents, BYU still played them and won (by a large margin) and they have to be given credit for that. However, if in 4 weeks BYU is 10-0 and Oregon is 7-0, that gap in games played looks a whole lot smaller and it's likely Oregon moves up in front of BYU based on Strength of Schedule arguments.

That, IMO, is why BYU really needs to schedule another game or two preferably against quality opponents. I'm not worried about where BYU will be ranked this week without them, but I AM worried about where they will be ranked at the end of the season without them.
