i wouldnt call BYU a real team...theyve been destroyed by the only real teams they've play.....and almost lost to Washington for god sakes...

Plus it's far from over buddy...granted it's not looking good, but 2 td's covers the +4

they've played a weak schedule but they're 10-1. I respect that. They blew out UCLA, Wyoming, and others (not good teams, obviously, but beating UCLA 59-0 is still impressive. That was UCLA's worst loss of the season).

They don't belong in the top 25 but they are a real team.

UCLA and Wyoming are hot trash......having a record of 10-1 doesnt mean anything when you've beaten up on some of the worst teams in CFB...U think they stand a chance against other top 25 teams?

You dont need to answer than, theyve already proven they wouldnt...eg: Utah and TCU

see my post. I don't think they belong in the top 25.

No one came close to doing what BYU did to UCLA. Even though UCLA isn't good, beating up on bad teams proves something.

hell, UCLA is a 7 point favorite on the road tonight. It's obviously against one of the worst teams in the country, but if UCLA was as bad as BYU made them look, it'd be more like a pick'em.

thats one impressive win though against a garbage team....and "one of the worst teams in the country" that is a dog of 7 points at home to UCLA lost by 1 to BYU because of the refs...

But I guess we will have to agree to disagree

ok, I'll go through their schedule.

Northern Iowa - not a football team
Washington - NAFT
UCLA - Beat the living daylights out of them. UCLA's worst loss of the season by far. Impressive.
Wyoming - NAFT
Utah State - NAFT
TCU - Lost badly
New Mexico - sucks
UNLV - sucks

rest of the teams suck too.

So they pretty much have spent a season beating up bad teams, but I'd put them in the 50-55 range, which I call a real team. Air Force is a decent team and that's the best team they've beaten. Kinda sad.


"You dont need to answer than, theyve already proven they wouldnt...eg: Utah and TCU"


They haven't played Utah.

Interestingly enough, they'll probably be ranked like 13th in the AP this week. They're not a top 25 team, but I guess AP voters are seduced by the one loss record.
They've played two good games this season, IMO. Against UCLA and Air Force.
