Rank the 2017 Schedule: Of the Games Listed, which it the Least Difficult?
We're getting near the end, so we'll probably two of these in the next few days to finish the season.
1. ???
2. ???
3. ???
4. at Mississippi St (72%)
5. vs Boise St (63%)
6. at Hawaii (100%)
7. at East Carolina (85%)
8. at Utah St (71%)
9. vs San Jose St (70%)
10. at UNLV (42%)
11. at Fresno St (87%)
12. vs Massachusetts (92%)
13. Portland St
LSU is likely without their best defender. I've also read and heard several stories about how much an advantage the mission thing is for BYU. I think the Tigers are 1) overlooking BYU and 2) not taking us as seriously.

Wisconsin, only because they are at home. The utes should not have any votes, see my thread. Even though Wisconsin and LSU are better teams, the utes are our toughest game every year we play them.

Re: Rank the 2017 Schedule: Of the Games Listed, which it the Least Difficult?
I disagree frdbtr that the Utes are BYU's toughest game every year as BYU has dominated Utah statistically since 2006 despite coming out on the short end of the score mostly due to poor coaching choices than anything else. BYU will dominate Utah statistically again this year all BYU's problem is putting points on the scoreboard equal to its statistical dominace.
This is my list from the poll, strongest to least difficult:
1. Wiscosin.
2. LSU.
3. Mississppi St.
4. Boise St.
5. Utah.

Re: Rank the 2017 Schedule: Of the Games Listed, which it the Least Difficult?
The last 5 seasons, the BYU-Utah game has been decided by 7 points or fewer. Average score is 24-20. It is the most important game, but it also the most likely to be a competitive game from among the Ewetes, Wisconsin, and LSU.
In that same stretch, BYU has 10+ point losses to Wisconsin, Michigan, Notre Dame, TCU, and Oregon St. Each of those teams had 9+ wins. I expect LSU and Wisconsin to have 9+ wins in 2017.

Re: Rank the 2017 Schedule: Of the Games Listed, which it the Least Difficult?
So do I but BYU does have a really good chance of beating LSU and Wisconsin as LSU has lost thier star running back and has a new HC and coaching staff and only beat Miss St. by 3-7 points last year. Wisconsin has to play in high elevation something they have never dpne before. Never the less I think LSU finishes with 8-9 wins and Wisconsin finishs with 9+ wins.YNot wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 8:18 am The last 5 seasons, the BYU-Utah game has been decided by 7 points or fewer.

Apparently PSU should have been ranked a lot higher / harder!

I know! If that was our EASIEST game, then we're potentially in REAL trouble this year!byufan4ever wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2017 12:22 pm Apparently PSU should have been ranked a lot higher / harder!
