There is zero justification for it.
BYU is coming off 2 successful seasons. They have more returning talent than any team in the country. Are being lead by a top returning QB and have an extensively experienced OL to back up a transfer RB that was successful at freaking CAL.
I have no issues with the Utah hype. I think they are overrated but whatever. What I do have a problem with is not seeing BYU in the Top 25.
To make it worse is there are multiple reporters that have BYU in their Top25. So for the coaches poll to leave them out shows how out of touch that poll is. It seriously just needs to go away already.
On a side note, pre season poll SUCK in general.
