BYU is 3-0 and ranked 15th, but how do their stats stack up?

Dang, sounds like BYU needs to play Stoneybrook!

To be fair. Oregon did go to Ohio state to play.

Yeah... And we need "Strength of Schedule" vs those in front of us

Important disclaimer, we're the only team who is 3-0 vs P5 teams

It'll be nice to see the #'s once the rest of the better teams start playing each other instead of mostly cupcakes

This is why my excitement is tempered a bit. Yeah, they’re finding ways to win games, but looking far from dominant in

This is why my excitement is through the roof. Haven't played anywhere close...

This has been speculated on for years, but for the first time ever, I think the Cougs avoided showing their hand to have
