I think they looked like a Sun Belt team to me.

probably BYU already has one win, they play Utah State at the end of the month.

The back half of the schedule includes Fresno St., San Jose St, UMASS, UNLV, Hawaii, and ECU.

The back end of their schedule is really, really easy.

You get to count one FCS win towards your bowl eligibility, so I guess that holds true even when you play 13 games? If so, they can make a bowl with a 6-7 record. That's still very likely.

It wouldn't shock me if they still win 7-8 games.

They should be because their schedule is pretty weak, but I thought they looked really bad. I'm hoping LSU made them look bad and they aren't just plain bad.

Probably they will go to one, but they are not that good. Offense looks bad, defense can hang for awhile.

Well, a lot of Sun Belt teams make it to bowl games. In fact, a lot of teams make it to bowl games...

Given their schedule, they can get to 7 wins I think.

No, if they win more than 4 games I will be surprised

This is not a bad team and the defense is sound.
I think they are a bowl team.
I don't know why we get so cocky after a good win.

They play Wisconsin at home in 2 weeks. Would love to see them win that game, push Wisky out of the top 10 and help with LSU's SOS.

Yes, they are a bowl team. We are just so good that we are the best thing that has ever happened to college football.

I feel BYU was more bad than LSU making them look bad..they honestly couldn't do anything right..their qb was straight up awful.

You realize that is the same QB that threw for 3400 yards and 27 TDs with 10 picks as a freshman. He lost the job last year because Hill was so dynamic. We just smothered them defensively.
