...that included 6 P-5 programs +Boise State, SDSU and Utah State. Based on what you have seen BYU do thus far against different teams stop and ask yourself, what would BYU's record be right now if BYU had played it's original Schedule and was facing CC in a bowl game? I am trying to remember that schedule, but I think this is fairly close to it:
Win or Loss?
W (__) L (__) @Utah
W (__) L (__) Mich State
W (__) L (__) @ASU
W (__) L (__) @Minnesota
W (__) L (__) USU
W (__) L (__) Houston
W (__) L (__) Missouri
W (__) L (__) @ Boise State
W (__) L (__) @ No Ill
W (__) L (__) No Alabama
W (__) L (__) SDSU
W (__) L (__) @Stanford
What team on that schedule knowing what we NOW know would have beaten BYU? Scores would be closer but none of the P5s on that schedule look good enough to have defeated BYU. I think the Missouri and Utah games would have been the most physical, but from what we have seen, BYU is 6-0 vs. them and we know what BYU looks like against Boise State, even if Brockmeyer played. Would BSU have dropped 52 on BYU? No ma'as!
I think based on what I have seen, BYU would probably still he undefeated right now. Would CC be able to say the same thing against that schedule and with 4 P5 programs + BSU on the road and 2 P5's + SDSU at home? No!
BYU is favored by 10 for a reason.
Caveat!
BYU turns the ball over without reciprocating take-aways it could lose. I think the TO spread will be even or maybe advantage +1 by BYU.
