It is early - but I am confident that we will handle The Rivalry Game in Provo. Final Answer.



Just like football - but admittedly having not researched anyone next year



ND may be our toughest game. If you don't mind, put the @symbols in your original post as I believe it definitely matters. That would possibly cause me to revise my ranking.



It is early, but see my numbering above.



BTW - although I have referred to this as a cupcake schedule - that is in comparison to Big East, ACC, Big 12, Big 10 type teams. It is fairly typical for a BYU schedule. About half of the games should actually be either underdog games or reasonably competitive match-ups. Kind of like football most years.

Gonzaga or Baylor are the most talented teams. ND probably is the best coached team with a bunch of seniors and juniors.

I'd go with Baylor. Though Gonzaga and ND are good teams and will be tough, I think we match up better to them.
