First 6 games include 5 P5 teams who went bowling last year, and FPI (link (http://www.espn.com/college-football/team/fpi-id=252&year=2016)) gives them no better than a 38% chance to win in any of their first 6 other than Toledo, and it's worth mentioning that Toledo was 10-2 last year.

Looks like the most likely scenario is that BYU is 1-5 or maybe 2-4 when we play them. I'm not sure if ESPN FPI figures in the impact of a new coach and a QB returning from back-to-back season-ending injuries, but I think people here are way too scared of this game. Their athletic department set up this schedule to give them a resume to appeal to the Playoff Committee, but it's a whole lot more likely that the Cougars are super demoralized when we roll into Provo and don't even end up in a bowl.

If your next comment is "yeah, their schedule looks tough, but BYU is always a good team," that's not really true either. Here's BYU's last 11 years, which were coached by Bronco Mendenhall:

They haven't finished ranked in the AP Poll since 2009, and lately only make bowls because they're Independent and load up on a bunch of non-P5 and bad teams. Last year they couldn't even beat that awful Mizzou team we smashed. And now they have a new coach.

Team speed will be an issue for them. They don't have sec speed nor the athletes we have and it will show. They do have some big strong guys and very good fundamentally but we gonna win by 2 tds(if we don't get jobbed by the officials like the last time)

[maroonwhitedawg3ddd]

That game in Starkvegas was brutal with the amount of HOLDING calls that went uncalled!! Man I've never in my life seen a game that poorly officiated.. 17ing brutal !

How dare you bring facts to the table?
The great prophet Coach34 said we would be lucky to win 6 games so it must be so.
