I think Utah is going to be the hardest game the whole year. We can beat UCLA at home. We can beat Washington on the road. TCU may be a tuff game also, because it is at TCU. This is great that we are on the BCS alert already. I think the main reason we were not included in a BCS game in 2001 is because we had to come from off the radar, but this year will be different. I'm bringing tortillas to the first home game! BYU to the Fiesta Bowl! Go Cougars!
the reason we were not getting a BCS invite in 2001 was because we were a mid not because we came off the radar. they simply didn't want a nonbcs team getting their money. Of course they had to open their mouth a game to early.
As for that list a few points.
1. BSU is in noway ahead of Utah. BSU went 10-3 for one reason and one reason only they played in a division 2 conference and played a very sorry OOC, if they played in the MWC they would have been lucky to finish 5th. Next year they will do well because they still play ina division 2 conference and they still play a weak OOC. Oregon will likely roll them and roll them bad. they may even drop one to Southern miss. i also expect them to drop 1 or 2 in conference games next season. Why? well last year their O-line was loaded with talent and experience. Easily a top 5 O-line but they didn't play to expectations. they looked sketchy at times and far from impressive. they recently had a change in coaching at that position and I think we saw that it produced a lower yield of product on the field. this year they replace nearly everybody and I fully expect to see a weaker O-line. New QB and last years was not that good. defensively they were horrible when ever they found a team with a decent running game, their front 7 are average at best their secondary was good but they lost their best saftey and their best CB.
2. Hawaii has no biusness being on that list. they were only good last year do to playing the sorriest schedule in college football and having a favorable WAc schedule and having their already division 2 conference play like a division 3 conference didn't hurt either. this coming season they have a new QB who in the Nevada game looked like a pure system QB and an average one at best. sorry but Nevada's defesne was amognst the worst in the country and they put up avaerage numbers. New system though it should be very similar new WR most of which will be juco they hope can play at the next level. and a tough OOC. They'll be lucky to get more then 1 win OOc and they'll likely drop a game or two in conference and then get rolled in their bowl game.
